OVER-DOING THE LOOTING

chief compass
Not to say we told you so, but New Orleans' chief of police has put the media on blast for overplaying the looting angle, which, in many ways, seemed like it was a bigger story than dying and starving people. All this damn fuss over sneakers and plasma TVs. Seriously, people have had totally warped senses of importance, getting their thongs into a snit over consumer goods rather than human suffering.
