The fact is a tiny% of the New Orleans population were committing crimes, and shooting, and stealing tv's and such...  But these stories dominated the headlines, making it as if New Orleans was just like the movie "escape from new york" or something like that... A media circus...  Then people didn't want to come in and help because they were afraid of the AP's stories, about wide spread kayos, and anarchy...    Then the mayors complete failure to act before and after made things a complete disaster also...  The city of New Orleans had reports done, various studies years before Katrina and knew exactly what would happen if those levees broke...  I saw a report and it was kind of amazing how accurate this report was...  Still the city didn't put forth a plan... Did not organise a real evacuation using school buses or whatever...  The police didn't even have any boats, not a single Zodiac in a city below sea level...  I don't buy all this welfare state crap...

In Indo everyone is poor, nothing to loot... I suppose they could loot a resort but they were all occupied with people and not abandoned, in an evacuation like New Orleans... Plus there was zero warning for the tsunami victoms, their is no comparision...
