Bloomberg - looters caught during or in the wake of the storm will be placed in internment camps

A resident walks through floodwater on Coney Island after Hurricane Irene hit, in New York, August 28, 2011.

In New York City, Mayor Bloomberg chose not to evacuate the criminals in Rikers Island, according to Mother Jones. The mayor has also warned that any looters caught during or in the wake of the storm will be placed in internment camps. This raises questions about the role of law enforcement and order during a natural disaster. It also raises questions about the psychology of looting and rioting which occur after most natural disasters.
