Thank you, Tim, for your comment.
My own thought about the looting is "who is owed what?". I've heard that the levees were known to be only strong enough to survive a Level 3 hurricane. If this is the case, what plan exactly was put into place to evacuate the city when an inevitable 4 or 5 showed up? Specifically, what plans were there to help those too poor, elderly or infirm to be able to jump in a car and head north?
Either the levees had to be better or plans needed to be in place.
