OK One last post for the night... LOL

This article describes how things are within the Superdome. It is an ugly, ugly picture they paint. No word on a soldier being shot, but a horrid situation.

Trapped in the Superdome: Refuge becomes a hellhole

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...

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

That is the most dreadful article I've read in ages.

Well I'm never going to go to a public shelter, knowing now I wouldn't be allowed to leave. I'd rather be on my own!

This just goes to show that even in times of tragedy, there are good people:

Thompson closed his eyes and leaned into each stretch of the bow as he played mournfully. A woman eating crackers and sitting where a vendor typically sells pizza watched him intently. A National Guard soldier applauded quietly when the song ended, and Thompson nodded his head and began another piece, the Andante from Bach's Sonata in A Minor. Like most in the shelter, Thompson's family in Charleston, S.C., has no idea where he is and whether he is alive. Thompson figures he is safe for now and will get in touch when he can. Meanwhile, he will play, and, once in a while, someone at the sports complex will manage a smile.

"These people have nothing," he said. "I have a violin. And I should play for them. They should have something."

His parents should be so proud of him. May God protect him, and all of the people in that mess.
