It's a damn shame that people could be that crass, to take advantage of a situation like that, and it's a damn shame that people could be so hard up that they'd take advantage of a situation like that. I'm not defending their actions, but hunger is a problem, and self preservation can make people do things we can't understand unless we're in that boat.
I was talking to a good friend of mine who lives outside Houston shortly after Katrina. Because the residents of New Orleans were displaced, they came to Houston for relief, and as a result there was an increase in crime.
