Okay...the majority of people were looting food, water, and clothing. A few people may have taken TVs the first day, when it appeared they would be spared total devastation, but that's about it. The guy(s) that raped someone? The crowd beat him/them to death. Dehydration often results in paranoia, sometimes meaning shooting at rescuers. It's common outside of this particular situation.
Of course there're a few bad elements in every situation, but there's no need to act like the people there are animals.
This situation is much different from the Asian tsunami, also.
So, I don't think Bono needs to come on and start making a big deal out of a few incidents, especially during a fund raiser for those very people, when the much larger problem lies with the government's incompetence handling the aftermath. It's that incompetence which lead to such a desperate situation 3 or 4 days after the fact.
New Orleans was a war zone after the hurricane hit....Kmart's Walmart's and some gun stores were looted...witness the military having to come into restore order.It wasn't a few incidents..one of my friend's best friend works for NOPD..so he knows the real story....it was "Escape from New Orleans" there for awhile.
Of course I don't really know what Bono was trying to say in the first place.
