equally plausible.
but not when the daily mail prints the pics :)

The fact he's black means he obv. looted. Did Martin luther King teach you [I]nothing?

Isn't it obvious? With no public services functioning, hedecided to take his trash down to the dump himself.

After all, you can't just let litter build up, making the place look untidy.

That's what I thought!

More like "spot the greed"!

First picture: loaf of bread, and huge bin-liner of who knows what.

Second picture: loaf of bread and a bottle of drink.

It's also possible that the photographer watched the black guy loot the store, whereas the other two people just came out of their house with that stuff or something. It's not necessarily prejudice although it does seem that way.

the guy captioned as looting is carrying an awfully big bag. if i were going looting, i'd take a big bag too. the other people seem to have the goods in their packaging, sugesting that they grabbed quickly to get anything enough to get by.

obviously i've no idea what any of them were doing, it was just a thought that occurred. the top guy may well have been trying to get enough to feed a family or neighbours or something.
