Of course, looting is not acceptable because it is not morally proper; Although, I understand that in times of crisis e.g national calamity people do need things to survive. Or like Dayton, Ohio, after the 1913 flood. Houston is in trouble, and its residents need all the help they can get. A coalition of leftish groups appears to have created a playbook for opposing President Trump’s nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court, and, like puppets, Democratic senators already are following it. President Trump has nominated Amy Coney Barrett to replace the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Legally, as Anatole France observed, the starving may not filch even bread. We don't know yet what the Houston "looters" took, but it seems there are some safe assumptions that can be made about what they were looking for in a supermarket in the middle of a deadly hurricane. The “small number” of absentee ballots discarded in Pennsylvania was an “administrative error” caused by an independent contractor at the Luzerne County Elections Bureau, local officials said. The makers fought to have the picture air before the November 3 election, in hopes that it would become "part of the conversation" when the nation votes. Gen.

He added, "if the need be so manifest and urgent, that it is evident that the present need must be remedied by whatever means be at hand (for instance when a person is in some imminent danger, and there is no other possible remedy), then it is lawful for a man to succor his own need by means of another's property, by taking it either openly or secretly: nor is this properly speaking theft or robbery.". In the first case, if someone’s life genuinely and immediately depends on you looting something, then you’re pretty much in the clear, morally speaking. “Let it be given out that three men have already been shot down without mercy,” he told reporters. Most of the state militia was still in Pennsylvania, so it was days before Federal troops intervened in force, using artillery to disperse the mobs. Tricia Wachtendorf, associate director of the University of Delaware’s Disaster Research Center, objects to even the use of the words “looting” or “crime” to describe taking essential goods, noting that nobody objected to firemen taking water from stores near Ground Zero to rinse the World Trade Center’s smoke from their eyes.
