I would definately steal food, clothing, medication, etc, from shops. No questions about it. And even though I despise guns, if I had to protect my family also, I would steal a gun or two.

But yeah, stealing TVs and such is stupid. But how do you know what you would do in that situation? I don't know how I would act.. I like to think I wouldn't stoop that low, but if I honestly thought that I needed this stuff to survive (to trade for food, shelter, whatever) then maybe I would steal that stuff too. I dunno. I honestly don't think we should be judging these people when we don't know what they're going through. We only know what we see on TV in the comfort of our nice warm living rooms.
