I know all people from New Orleans are not idiots.  I apologize if you believe that I said that.  

My point was it was interesting to see New Orleans start looting almost before the storm was over.  My brother in law was just back from a tour in Iraq and they were called down to calm things down.  There were sensational stories that the public were interested to hear.  A police officer looting with every other criminal who was taking advantage?  We thought our country was more civilized than that.  People were shocked.  

They would have been shocked too to learn that Katrina evacuees forced me and others to move from our area because we did not share the same violent attitude they did.  I lived in a somewhat quiet area with little trouble.  After Katrina and FEMA paying for evacuees places to live, I heard gunfire from my home at least 3 times a week.  They had singlehandedly turned my neighborhood into a war zone.  

Returning to the point, there was no looting with any other major storm that I can remember and people generally had an attitude of goodwill one toward another.
