it makes me soooo mad...
i was reading the news on the asia quake disaster when i came across an article on an indonesian site about the looting that is occurring in banda aceh.
it makes soooooo fucking angry when i hear about this. the survivors on aceh are obviously very traumatized over the quake-tsunami disaster, and some schtoopid idiots have taken advantage of that by shouting, "water! water!" and causing public panic of an incoming wave.
an example of this was when a row of people were queueing for gasoline and food. shouts were heard, warning of incoming water, and everyone scrambled off. then the looters would take whatever they could. i read that the looters even stole a TV that was half buried in the mud.
the army soldiers have had to tighten security around the area to stop the looters from stealing and creating public panic. i'm just amazed that some people have the heart to loot and steal at such a difficult time like this.
