Death... hunger... looting... rape... anarchy! Survival of the fittest! The looting... some say, could be classified as an act of self preservation rather than criminality but the incident reports of raping, if true, is symbolic of establishing dominance and power over the weak, where education and money could not get you food but physical strength and terror would. It is surreal... especially to those who are just hearing the news 2nd hand. It's like a climactic scene from a diabolic, horror flick ... the protagonist screams!!! Then gets up on its feet and fights back!

when it is in your power to do it.
Do not say to your neighbor,
"Go away! Come another time;
tomorrow I will give it to you!"
when you can help him now" - Proverbs 3:27-28
