If you have seen any coverage or news stories in the last few days, it is obvious that people are really hurting. I would bet that most of the looting is being done, in grocery stores for example, because people need things. It's not like they could go buy supplies anyway because I'm guessing everything is closed. Plus, I would imagine that a lot of the merchandise in stores is or will be completely unsalvageable in terms of making any profit anyway. If it comes down to people "stealing" it now, or it just sitting there until businesses come in and have to throw it all away, I say steal it. I agree.
