I'm sorry but people abondoned by their government at whichever level was at fault (namely all levels) left with no food or water, I'm going to forgive them for raiding Walmart and taking clothes and whatnot. I don't blame the people taking potshots at people who were running around breaking into places trying to get supplies. Simply put, those first 48-72 hours after Katrina could best be described as anarchy because there was no true government to keep what we consider order.
Then again there's the situation in France right now. How about some input on your ideas of what's behind this, as right now all I'm going on is the news, which as we all know isn't as objective as it should be instead of just saying its not as bad as things here in the states? I can understand your defensiveness, but please undersand that what I'm seeing of this isn't that this is something that only happens in French culture, but in a way a byproduct of the culture.
