Taken from http://msn.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/ar...671075&ref=rss (http://msn.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10671075&ref=rss) "The first reports of looting came within half an hour of the first shock. A block from the Steamers hotel, a ute pulled up to a liquor store and its occupants smashed their way in. Witnesses say they grabbed several boxes of beer and took off." what low-life scum there is out there...
