1. No, you see

since the wingnuts think black people all look the same, the media is simply punctuating the looting so the indifferent Republicans can rant about that and ignore their plight. Faux News has spent soooooo much time on the looting, it's pathetic. Shit happens, get over it. Oh, and go help those people dammit.

2. Rumsfeld 4-11-03: Looting is a transition to freedom

"While no one condones looting, on the other hand, one can understand the pent-up feelings that may result from decades of repression and people who have had members of their family killed by that regime, for them to be taking their feelings out on that regime," he said. "And I don't think there's anyone in any of those pictures ... (who wouldn't) accept it as part of the price of getting from a repressed regime to freedom."

"I read eight headlines that talked about chaos, violence, unrest. And it just was Henny Penny? - 'The sky is falling.' I've never seen anything like it!" Rumsfeld exclaimed. "The images you are seeing on television you are seeing over and over and over, and it's the same picture of some person walking out of some building with a vase, and you see it 20 times and you think, 'My goodness, were there that many vases?'"
