I wonder if non addicts, but those relying on prescription drugs are looting as well.
I know that if I were stuck there and unsure if I could get out I might consider looting a pharmacy to get what I needed.
You'd never make it. I'd rip your spine out before you got half a step. Those little legs wouldn't be much good without one of those.

Thrive to spite them
Then there's this article about Mississippi
It says that police and firemen are taking what they need from stores, but keeping track, because there isn't any other way to feed or supply their people.
It's headlined with "this is our tsumnami" and I know when I saw that hte other day...comparing Katrina to the tsunmai I thought it was hype, but I dont' think so anymore.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Denise Bollinger, a tourist from Philadelphia, stood outside and snapped pictures in amazement.
"It's downtown Baghdad," the housewife said. "It's insane. I've wanted to come here for 10 years. I thought this was a sophisticated city. I guess not."
Fuck you, Denise Bollinger. Fuck you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Not only is she callous, but SHE'S TAKING PICTURES.

What is even happening?
She thought this was a sophisticated city? What in the world is that supposed to mean? Backwater hicks can't even fight a little FREAKING FORCE OF NATURE.
Yes, Denise Bollinger. Allyson speaks for me.
Link please, Allyson. I want to write an outraged letter, because I'm not yet on blood pressure medication.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Fuck you, Denise Bollinger. Fuck you.
Yes, exactly! What, she tourists into a disaster area to gawk and take pictures of people who just lost everything and then has the balls to talk about class?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I thought this was a sophisticated city. I guess not.
That doesn't even make sense.

Kudos to the wire reporter for catching that, though. He's thinking the same thing we are.
