Water Risin’ Means Time To Loot Some Beer

Sad...

Beer Looter

Hope he enjoys it, the schmuck.

Update:

Things are progressing beyond simple looting. There's a prison riot as well as reports of a police shoot out.

It almost makes you want to lose faith in humanity that people, in the face of what is already a terrible tragedy, would act this way. In the prison riot situation, though, its hard to tell if they're rioting because they see an opportunity to be free or because the mayor ignored the fact that they're locked down in the middle of a natural disaster.

Update:

Now looters have attacked a children's hospital.

Update:

Its being reported that cops and firemen have joined in the looting in some instances as well.
