New Orleans: Chaos brings more chaos

After hurricane Katrina, New Orleans lies in ruins. With dams damaged by the hurricane, 80% of the city lies submerged in water. Having personally been there back in 2003, pictures of the ruined streets strikes a cord.

What I cannot understand is the current state of anarchy it's in. With law enforcement busy tending to the injured and helping survivors get to dry ground, armed mobs have taken to looting, carjacking and killing for basic necessities such as petrol and water. Some of the mobs are even armed with guns pilfered from flooded gunstores!

Who in the right mind would want to profit from such a tragedy? People have lost their homes, and for some, even their loved ones. For heaven's sake people, I'm sure there's still some good conscience left in you.
