People assumed erroneously that the ones who were looting had to be the poor, uneducated, intent on taking from hard-working citizens. But then when the looters were arrested, there was a different story. These people were ones that would have been considered to have class and decorum. One girl even was the daughter of a millionaire.
It just goes to show that some people have desires within them to act in a lawless way. They do not act on those impulses if they think that they will be found out. But in situations like what happened these last couple days, when people think others are not looking, they allow their true self to come out. Stealing, looting, destroying property just because they can.
It is senseless. There is a general lack of consideration for others.
The point that stuck with me is that it is a shame that people automatically think when something like this happens, it has to be the poor people that instigated it.
