Last night, during Anderson Cooper 360 coverage of the relief efforts in Haiti, he showed a very graphic scene of a child injured after ‘looters’ began throwing rocks and pieces of concrete from a store roof. The boy was hit on the head by a chunk of concrete and was bleeding profusely. This video, while obscenely graphic and completely despicable, illustrates how a nation and a people that seem civilized, can revert to basic instincts of survival. This cannot be used to judge whether these people deserve help or not, because as humans we are also animals, and when stripped of the comforts of our "civil" life; we will act as such. So instead, this should prove that help is NEEDED in Haiti, now more than ever to get the citizens back to a state of calm, so eventually they can help themselves.
