The bottom photo shows a black woman dragging packages through the water.
I'm not sure if the white guy is holding a can or if the can is just
floating in the water. Anyway, the photographer must have seen them being
given whatever it is they're carrying or, at the very least, being allowed
to take it.
There were many instances of police allowing the removal of food items from
markets. I guess the two reasons for this were because the food was going to
spoil if someone didn't use it and because people need to eat.
I don't understand why you have "looting" and "finding" circled in these
photos, they could represent two very different sets of circumstances.

billion Euros in June alone. The profits made by German companies are

Must be all those BMWs they keep selling! No wonder my Fidelity European

Has anyone seen any caucasians, via the media, that "found"
a new plasma TV?
Basic necessities, such as food and water is understandable.
But water soaked electronics is different, especially when you have no
electric and it's damaged. Where are those thieves going to plug their
new TVs in, their ass? |
