the disaster itself from hurricane katrina and the earthquake/tsunami in japan are comparable in some ways....
but the portrayal of how people acted during hurricane katrina is definitely comparable to the incident of LA Riots (rodney king case).
During hurricane katrina and the LA riots, people used the negative situation to commit selfish and violent crimes. In both incidents, people looted, raped, attacked innocent civilians, and destroyed public property....simply animals. Is it a coincidence that both incidents had majority of the people committing these crimes being African Americans?
There were no depictions of any of these crimes in ANY videos of the earthquake/tsunami in Japan, probably because (A) it was a disaster on a much larger scale (b) there were few to none crimes being committed (c) maybe media do not want to portray the Japanese people as being violent or have criminal behaviors due to some reason (d) it is just not the time to focus on those acts....
