Murder and rape - fact or fiction?

Anarchy in Action | 06.09.2005 08:37

I know it isn't Indymedia policy to link to 'mainstream' media sources, but this Guardian (UK) article does cast doubt on the generally accepted idea that humans resort to (sub) bestial behaviour at the first sign of the collapse of 'order'... Maybe we are 'better' than some give us credit for...

How true are the tales of murdered babies and raped seven year olds?

From UK Guardian 6/9/05  http://www.guardian.co.uk/katrina/story/0,16441,1563532,00.html

I'm sure that as time moves on far more true examples of mutual aid and support will emerge from the New Orleans situation that will give lie to the idea that 'we' are not capable of behaving like civilised human beings as soon as 'official' order collapses.
