Which is worse: A flood, or the people who take advantage of a flood?

At the River Place Campground on the St. Louis River, when campers escaped the floodwaters, they couldn't escape the thieves, Duluth Outdoors reports.

I also heard of people burglarizing houses of evacuees and flood victims. It happened in Superior according to this . Business and homes were targeted by thieves. And then of course you have scams.

Bottom feeders like this is the reason that martial law is sometimes declared after disasters.

Shoot to kill in such instances simply cleans up the gene pool.

I truly hope there is a special place in hell reserved for people who feed off the misfortune of others.

Apparently people are burglarizing homes in Colorado springs too.
