In the third link, it's Lynette from Austin - a FOX viewer - who used the term thug in a comment she submitted to that story's feedback portion.
Hardly FOX running about tossing racial slurs upon people.
I do think there are a lot of desperate people just doing all they can to survive. But I also think there are a lot of shameless people taking advantage of the situation. I don't think robbing and raping and shooting and hurting and killing is excused by desperation. "Looting" batteries, foodstuffs and inflatable mattresses from the local Wal-Mart is all well and good. But the tv set and wallet of the guy you just shot is shameless opportunism. Thuggery.
