I agree with this quote. I think there were so many other horrible things going on down there (people dying, tens of thousands of people trapped in the Superdome and Convention Center, rapes, murders, cops and soldiers being shot at) that any looting is just inconsequential.

Looting has been made a much bigger deal than it should have been.
