What we are discussing here is the straw man argument presented as gospel.

There is of course no denying the fact that selfishness, thuggery, violence, etc. will exponentially increase when the protections put in place to prevent it break down. The same folks who are roaming the streets with guns and attacking rescue personnel would do so EVEN IF THE HURRICANE HADN'T HAPPENED - had they the means to do so without repercussion. Welcome to human nature -sad as it is at times.

What is happening now is akin to (in a bizarre sort of way) to parents leaving the candy jar open when they go out for the evening.

To think that this would not happen is folly.

To focus on it as being of primary concern is sad.

To make is black vs. white is disgusting.
