Tell Me About That Uniquely American "Culture of Violence" Again

From a CNN.com report on the blackout:

In New York -- which has reported about 70,000 violent crimes a year since 1998 -- police reported four burglaries in the entire city overnight, and said they had made arrests in all four.

Meanwhile in peace loving Canada:

However, in Canada, officials reported a number of thefts and looting.

"There is serious looting going on" in parts of Ottawa, said Ottawa police chief Vince Bevan, adding there have been reports of break-ins, smashed windows and theft in the nation's capital.

Ontario declared a state of emergency after the power outage.
