Looters

 Looters raided Coney Island and many differnt places after hurricane Sandy swept through town for many different causes. The NY daily news article said, "People were running in and out of Rent-A-Center carrying these big flat screens". In the middle of a hurricane the last thing you need to survive is a flat screen t.v. A flat screen isnt going to feed your family so why were people doing this? The NY Daily News article also says, "people were running out of a nearby Rite Aid with bags of diapers and wipes". This is a case where it is understandable that someone would loot. Obviously this person has a child that needs caring for. If i was in that situation i know i would steal to help my child. These are all examples of how people looted for good and bad reasons but in the end looting is still frowned upon.
