New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin ordered 1,500 police officers to end a search-and-rescue mission Wednesday night and return to the streets of the beleaguered city to stop looting that has turned increasingly hostile. | source: MSNBCEnd search and rescue missions in order to bring back order! I can understand the need for some people to do whatever it takes to survive. During such conditions one cannot foresee the actions one will take. If I have to plumage a store for food and water for my kid to survive I would more than likely do so. My heart and prayers go out to all the victims and families. I must admit that it saddens me that most Americans don't respond to aid until disasters like these hit so close to home.

If only it were people just stealing food and water or medicine. I've seen pictures of people loading up VCRs, TVs, and even a basketball goal post(!) from local stores. Ridiculous.
What is sad is that things like this usually bring out the best in people. This seems to have brought out the worst in some.
