i don't get it

The part I don't understand in the New Orleans hurricane story is this:

Less than a week after escaping with their lives, people have become willing to kill each other. I'm not at all suprised that people in the superdome are desperate for what they need, but it's been less than a week. The only reasonable explanation for this is that many people who deteriorate to acting like animals in a few days are convinced they are totally helpless victims, or drug addicts who haven't had a fix (and that includes alcoholics) in a few days, or MOST likely, a combination of the two things.

And, why the national guard wasn't brought in IMMEDIATELY is still a mystery to me, too.
