"How does this work?"

"At one point Friday, the evacuation (of the Super Dome) was interrupted briefly when school buses pulled up so some 700 guests and employees from the Hyatt Hotel could move to the head of the evacuation line - much to the amazement of those who had been crammed in the Superdome since last Sunday.

" 'How does this work? They (are) clean, they are dry, they get out ahead of us?' exclaimed Howard Blue, 22, who tried to get in their line. The National Guard blocked him as other guardsmen helped the well-dressed guests with their luggage." excerpt from story by ROBERT TANNER

That's like the two stories I saw. One showed a picture of black folks with some supplies taken from a store and the headline said they were looting.

Another story showed some white folks who were taking some items from a store and the headline said they were taking needed supplies.

It's only called looting when black people do it, apparently.
