What I don't understand is how the dying and dehydrated, heat-stroked, exhausted people who've been up "looting" all night have the energy to rape each other and shoot at cops/helicopters/each other. The WalMart clip raised my ire so much that I nearly spit. The police officers had no apologies for grabbing shoes and things off the shelves. You're underwater. Shoes? At least the kid put the hot-pink shorts back.
It's just so frustrating to watch, and to listen to everyone's excuses on why the government didn't act sooner in making people leave, in making the necessary levee modifications, and for those higher up in the hierarchy who have their own excuses. I'd love it if someone would just stand up and say...
"Hi, my name is ________________. I admit it, I screwed up. Here's what I'm going to do to help now. I'm sorry."
