Looting for the Lootless

Looting can be something that is ok to do, but when someone crosses the line of what they need to what they want, that is when it becomes horrible.  New York Daily News interviewed people about "thieves steeling flat screens" and posted them on their website, www.nydailynews.com.  "People were running in and out of Rent-A-Center carrying these big flat screens. They were holding on tight," said witness Aisha John, 20. Aisha was just one of the people they interviewed after the event.  When others where interviewed they said things like "Look, they've been looting our wallets for too long,", which , in a way, is true, but another thing someone saw was people grabbing bags of diapers and wipes for their kids because no stores were open to go buy them.  If no store is open to go buy things that a person needs for their family they will go into survival mode and go loot what they need to stay alive and well.  Looting is something that can be fine at times but when it comes to steeling "flat screens", instead of taking things that are appropriate to take in this time of need, is wrong and should not be done.
