In article ,
(FDR) says...

Innocent people are the ones trapped in floodwaters, drowning or otherwise
in peril in other parts of the city, while your cops are busy arresting
looters. You tell me the logic there.


There is no way to rescue innocent people in the absence of civil order.
Fire fighters were being shot at. One blog out of NOLA wondered, "Who
the hell shoots at firefighters?" Just this last week, a telephone
lineman was shot at. Who the hell shoots at telephone linemen?

The absence of civil order may have killed as many people as the
hurricane. There's your logic. Eventually, the highest civil authority
in the land ordered troops to shoot looters on sight. They did it to
save the lives of innocent people. There's your justice.
