I can understand where you're coming from, and I agree with you so far as people who go to the flooded out Walgreens are not criminals, they do it out of neccesity. But not all looters are justified. For instance: one man's "house" (collection of rubble) was looted of what could possibly be his family's last items of value: his wife's family jewelry.
It wasn't that much, but looting material possessions that are not a neccesity is uneccesary. I am generally lenient on food and water looters, as long as they don't steal from other people. But the moment they cross the line of taking what they need and move on to stealing things they don't even need, and taking other people's much needed food, my sympathy ends there.
