Mary, I'd say people are criminally inclined in the sense that our natural state is hunter gatherer, territorial with found wealth to be taken possession of and possession retained by physical strength. As children, we learn the concept of things being owned by somebody; owned not because they can defend it, but because they own it through gift, work, luck, or whatever.

Most people learn at least a rudimentary concept of ownership and understand that they are going against the civilized rules of ownership.

But these days, with redistribution by governments of taxes taken from one lot of people to another, with private property being disrespected in all sorts of ways by governments with unmitigated power, and being voted for by a large proportion of populations, the concept of private property, production, and created wealth are fizzling out.

So it's not at all surprising that with the barriers to "redistribution" being removed, the clueless subhumans in NO revert to their animal state. They have been trained all their lives to behave like that, so it should not be surprising that they do.

"Borrowing" a melted butter dish from Red Lobster is indeed theft, though returning it neutralizes part of the theft and leaves only the harm from loss of amenity. If your intention was to return it, then I wouldn't say it was theft. Did you ask if you could borrow the melted butter dish? [Whatever that is - why did you want to borrow a melted butter dish?]

There's a guy whining about the lack of "being taken care of" being racist, saying that "they" can take care of other countries, but not the melanin-rich in NO. It doesn't seem to occur to him that the tsunami victims were brown and that Iraqis are not white and so on. Now a guy whining about poverty in the USA, linking it to race instead of lack of brains, lack of virtue. Now one saying "George Bush doesn't care about black people". Pathetic.

They should save themselves. They should have been thinking about saving themselves before the hurricane was even a glimmer in the eye. Did they have an inflatable raft in case the levees breached? Did they have water stored? Food?

Now they are saying blacks are disproportionately poor. No they aren't. The low IQ are disproportionately poor. Those lacking virtue are disproportionately poor. It has zero to do with the melanin content of their skin. Zero causal relationship. Poverty is found in their brains, not their skin. That's why there are plenty of melanin-deficient who experience poverty too. There is a correlation with melanin-content, but not a causal relationship. It's the causal relationships which matter.

More "black" more "token" more "control the cash registers are not black, they are not brown" ... more blah blah blah nonsense.

Now burbling on about rebuilding and they must mean below sea level. Duh! They think there won't be another hurricane? Have they not heard of tsunamis?

More CNN blah blah blah about race and black and so on ... hopeless.

"In Mumbai, the poor didn't start looting .... " in similar circumstances. That's because the poor of Mumbai are civilized people with respect for other people.
