I would be OK with holding someone who was clearly hoarding food/water at gunpoint to take some of their stuff. It seems like a time to share.
I am not condoning in any way, but given the state of communications about what is going to happen (apparently pretty nonexistent even where large groups are congregated) to help people/get them out, and the heat (I have not checked the weather reports, but I'm betting hot and un-fucking-believeably humid), and the fact that people have nothing to eat but have found liquor, it does not surprise me that they are setting shit on fire and generally running rampant. The stress has got to be unbelievable, and after 3 days with no information about what is going to happen, there's got to be a lot of panic. Some people don't cope with panic so well.
As the city appears to be a total loss, and there's nothing to do with the stolen TVs, so I don't really care all that much about that -- it seems pointless.
The shooting at/attacking rescue people is fucked up, and rape is inexcusable.
