I think that we can accept theft to a minor degree. It is within our moral capacity to accept that some people can be in so dire straits that they have to resolve to theft. Also we are more willing to accept theft from those who are in no apperent need. If you steal from a big company with a large profit margin it's not as bad as stealing from the local convenience store.
That's why pillaging is so utterly dispicable and tasteless. It's simply breaches far beyond what we can reasonably accept and ultimately forgive. Stealing from people in a city in the middle of a disaster that may define a lifetime is simply so *beeeep* low that I lack an explitive strong enough.
What on earth are these oppotunists thinking? Where is the respect of other peoples lives? People who have had to flee to avoid destruction and death. I shake my head in disgust.
