RFK Jr. didn't blame Barbour for a hurricane; he merely implicated him as part of an industry-driven campaign to marginalize environmental issues, one result of which is a worse hurricane problem such as the one we're now witnessing.

Food, water, liquids, and basic clothing? That's not looting. Big-screen TV, computers, electronics (as I read somewhere)? Looting. Shoot someone in a store that sells all of the above? Tough call, unless you base it on what they have in the cart. Shoot someone in a Circuit City? Yes. And of course it's a lower priority than saving people. Your point is why I said “genuine.”

If they need food and water what do they do? They obviously can't wait for the store to go back to business as usual. Personally, I don't really think that it's high on the priority list right now.
