Two wanks in one day!
As the LJ community Mock The Stupid isn't on my friends list due to high traffic and only marginally amusing stupidity, I would have missed this one had someone else on my flist not posted it.

str8_edge_4ever posted the following:
For some reason, when there's a natural disaster, people like to create extra chaos. Around the corner from my ma & sister's house in New Orleans [note: they're fine. as of press time they're in a hotel in central LA.] is a grocery store, and lots of people were just going nuts. And of course, many many kids were celebrating like idiots.

Well, somewhere else, a cop confronted a guy who was trying to break into a supermarket. The guy protested the idea of being arrested, claiming that he was starving and just wanted food. So, being nice, the cop let him go into the store.

When the guy came out with just a VCR and a carton of cigarettes, he was arrested.

So, yeah, if true that is kinda stupid.

However, several people are REALLY OFFENDED because looting is a minor sin compared to all of the death and horrors in Nawlins right now, and the whole thing degenerates into several wanks that include racism, crime and punishment, and just plain whining.

Oh, and there is at least one requisite, "this is enough to make me leave the community" comment.
