Chile calls for aid, looters break quake curfew

Please stop calling Haitians and Chileans looters if they're fucking taking food or bathroom tissue and shit. If there are no functioning grocery stores and people are hungry, what options do they have? They take what food they can find. And why they would take the tissue is obvious.

Breaking curfew is another matter. So is helping oneself to a nice new TeeVee. Arrest their asses.

CONCEPCION: Chile called for international aid on Monday as the anguished calls of trapped quake survivors pierced the rubble and police had to arrest 160 looters for defying overnight curfews.

Another serious problem is insurance. When any remaining food stocks disappear and the owners aren't insured, many of those grocery stores may not return because of the cost of restocking. As if these poor people don't already have enough shit to contend with.
