I'll Pray For Y'all.

 The actions of the looters were completely hypocrtical and relentless in my eyes. In the article, a man had the nerve to say "Look, they've been looting our wallets for too long" after stealing a TV from a store. Now, in all my years of living I've never thought it necessary to have a TV to survive, so they're not looting their wallets because a TV isn't a neccesity. By saying that he was just trying to make it seem like what he did wasn't wrong. One of the store owners said that "between the flooding and the plundering, his losses were too high to easily calculate. He’s not sure when he’ll reopen" The looters want to act like the victims in this situation because they feel that the items they were stealing were actually theirs to take. But what about the hard working store owners that are already having problems during this hurricane and in addition to that.. had crazy looters rob them? They're the real victims. This is a time when people should support eachother and come together as a team, but instead they decided to destroy everything their fellow citizens had worked for. And to me, that is true hysteria.
