There are other reasons too. People have been following NOPD police 
scanners and posting news that the mainstream media refuse to cover:

Some rescue services are refusing to enter due to armed thugs roaming the 
streets with ak47 assault rifles, carjacking, mugging and murdering 
people.

Law enforcement officials have been captured on videotape participating in 
the looting.

Does not sound like a place any sane person would choose to go to. I don't 
think "risking your life to protect your employer's property" is on the
job description...
