Looting Did Happen in New Orleans: AP Proves it with More Pictures Besides the Controversy Picture Language

Stores had their front doors pried open. Looters rush in. They take merchandise they could never afford. Some rushed to the jewelry sections. Others needed clothes and got them. More and more of those who rushed inside the Walgreens, Wal-Mart of the French Quarter got foods and water. They also took baby formula. They did what they were supposed to do to keep these babies and old people alive on the streets.
A small group of the looters were hardened criminals who seized the occasion to engage in criminal activities. What would a man do with ten pairs of jeans, plastic loads of jewelry which they floated on planks in the rising waters?

Any way, Yahoo News published a statement about the language of the AP picture that created a controversy among bloggers and columnists and reporters. Now Yahoo News re-published the picture with a statement. This time, more pictures of looters are also published. Spectators were shocked by the sight of the looters. Others just commented on the oppression these people broke away from. "For people who are oppressed all their live, it's an opportunity to get back at society," reasoned a gentleman named Mike Franklin as reported by AP. The City of Haves and Haves Not collided after Hurricane Katrina passed. The rising waters caused chaos. Police were outnumbered. They needed assistance which was somewhat slow to arrive. Finally, help did arrive from all the corners of the country.
