If you didn't know when you were getting your next paycheck and had no access to an ATM, can you honestly say you wouldn't be thinking the same thing yourself?

No, it's not too late. Secondly, to comment on post #92...Louisiana has known of this problem for years, and years, and years....they did not drop below sea level recently. If you've ever driven over the roads in Louisiana, you'd know the priorities there are much different from others. Which is fine...
I agree with you about the money, to a point. It would cross my mind, but honestly....what are they gonna buy right now....and from who? Nobody's open. I believe that this was an act of greed. Just like the looting of clothing, jewelry, etc. Opportunistics....taking advantage of an easy situation (they think). Sorry, but if I were in the National Guard and martial law was called...if I caught you stealing anything other than food and water...I'd shoot ya!
