Yes, but you need to examine the circumstances surrounding the looting. I stated this earlier, but it's easy for the people who weren't placed in the Katrina situation to say that they wouldn't loot. None of us can really say what we would and wouldn't do until that time arises.
With that being said, the crime doesn't fit the punishment. Yes, there should be some sort of penalty for stealing, but fifteen years is ridiculous.
