Thanks for the info, LR. I saw that the thread was pulled but then I saw that it was up again. I listened so carefully to the scanner talk and just couldn't imagine how anyone could make it sound like it did...sounded real to me. I'll tune in again tomorrow. For now, it's getting late 1:15 a.m. AK time, and it's way past bedtime.

Thanks again. :)

Oh My God!

Crack vials littered the restroom (I thought they were searched when they came in?)

A child raped during the night... blood on the walls...

LOL!

I think as a nation though He will turn He did with Israel and He will with us. As individuals I think He will give us strength to endure what He will have us endure. As a nation we have been very blessed and as strong as the blessing so will the wrath be. As I said I fear for this nation. Ms. Casey's Daughter

That article made me angry

The Mayor should be forced to stay in that Dome along with the other folks

Good Lord .. it's a mess down there

He did get out

I watched his earlier reports and I thought it was odd .. whenever someone would ask how he was doing

He would pause and just say .. we're doing ok and wouldn't say anything else

"A child raped during the night... blood on the walls..."

Sounds like lyrics from Jim Morrison.

This whole thing seems like one long twisted Door's song. Time to go to bed and see if I can't get this lousy tune out of my head.

Prayers for all the good and decent people affected by the hurricane. I know I'm supposed to pray for my enemies as well, so I pray that the child rapists and cop shooters and looters all be brought to justice.

Amen to all of that! Well prayed!

It's not only disgusting that some of the looters have turned violent and killed people but that due to their lawlessness and the police having to stop rescue efforts to take care of the looters, they are costing other people their lives.

Those people need to get some pride and realize that this is not how Americans act.

My God. People on this thread have made excuses, said the number of thugs is teensy, that people are just hungry and poor.

What we are reading about is people who have gone feral. People who have abdicated being members of the human race. People who look human outside but within have the hearts of animals. Worse than animals.

Lest anyone think I am painting all with the same brush, I am not. No doubt there are many - tens of thousands - of unfortunate residents (former residents) of NO who are virtuous, normal people.

But the percentage of subhuman scum is not tiny. The sooner "shoot to kill" starts happening, the better.

And I could give a **** what color any of them are. I don't have a TV, all I know is words on FR, and the occasional picture. People who steal, loot, rape, shoot at rescue workers, prevent the rescue of the sick, the elderly, the starving - need to be removed from the face of the earth.

The natural disaster administered by water and wind is not the tragedy here. It is human malfeasance and human evil that is the real tragedy.

I am listening to the scanner - the bus convoy has just started rolling. I would imagine that we will see some video of this today - it sounds like they have 500 buses ready to go in one by one.

Many Superdome evacuees had reached breaking point

NEW ORLEANS -- At least 25,000 of Hurricane Katrina’s refugees, a majority of them at the New Orleans Superdome, are traveling in a bus convoy to Houston and will be sheltered at the Astrodome, which hasn’t been used for professional sporting events in years.
