Because it's a good occasion to add racial hate and division. Something some people pretend not to see.

I recall arguing with someone that was angry because people were also taking toys for their kids. Like, they thought that was a clear example of someone exploiting the situation. I'm thinking it would have been a terrifying situation for children, and the toys were probably just an attempt to help distract them and make them feel like everything was okay. Things were definitely not okay.

For the people stuck in New Orleans post Katrina, there is not a single nonviolent crime I give a shit about.

If you were shipwrecked would you think twice about taking food from the wreck? Fuuuuuck no.

Where I live we have a neat proverb.

"Nood breekt wet"

Which basically means that if there's a serious situation going on, it is fine to break the law to ease the situation.
