I think the astonishing thing about this whole ordeal is how many people were still in New Orleans when Katrina hit. I heard about Katrina before it hit and whatnot, and when you know there's a bad hurricane coming, and you live in a bowl, it's a good idea to get your ass out of there.
As for looting and police and whatnot, the problem is that when all hell breaks loose and the world turns to anarchy, people will do anything to survive and live the best life they can, in their eyes.
