I certainly agree those who are taking TVs are simply stealing but it gets a little muddier when they are taking food, water and things they need to live. The guys who own those stores are not going to come in and open them up. To say they stocked up (or should have) is meaningless when their house is under water.
Again, there are not the rich people. They are typically folks who were on the economic edge before the storm.
This problem is not going away any time soopn. We still have thousands of people living in FEMA trailers in Punta Gorda from Charlie over a year ago.
