Who's A looter?

page 640
Question 3)

He is coming across to his audience that he is not prejudice; he stated that he has taken many pictures of both black and white people who were considered to be looters. He photographed and told his story as he witnessed it. He seen black and white people taking “stuff” out of the water, not going into buildings, these people were picking up food and drinks, not computers, furniture and unnecessary items for survival. If these people did not take the food or drinks, it may have gone to waste. Just like he stated, he would not have taken anything out of that water, but he was not homeless. All races will do anything for themselves and their families to survive during a disaster. I think he is just getting tired of people accusing him of prejudice statements that in his mind and heart, he did not make.

As far as the mistakes in typing and spelling, I think at this point it is not even a concern of readers. Chris Graythen is famished, he is to the point of just getting his message across one more time and dropping the issue. I do not believe that his errors are taking away from his argument, everyday people do not go through and proofread a article as they read it, they want to understand the message that is coming across. Does this hurt his ethos (reputation)? No, I do not believe it does, he has written many articles and his followers will know that this article just shows that he is angry and exhausted. People tend to talk or write many times before they think when they are upset.
