Larry asked him about the disorder and he said it was OVERBLOWN by the MSM
lol...why are some surprised
(Hmmmm, didn't I hear that from some guy with a long face???)
How about the Do Long bridge scene in 'Apolcalypse Now'?
This states the true nature of things more than a thousand articles.
The citizens of NOLA need to take their government and that of their state to task for not having ANY kind of contingency plans in place. After Camille, what? 30 years ago, there was a DAMNED good chance that this would happen but their govt's chose to close their eyes to it.
When this is all over, I want NOLA BILLED for all of this cleanup costs. Screw em. They caused it, they can pay to clean it up. I don't want my tax dollars spent to support barbaric savages!
This city needs to be CRUSHED and started all over again.
IOW, the tourist women are being gang raped and the men beaten or killed. They both get to leave a tip ...
The NG should go in with fixed bayonets.
There are no leaders in New Orleans, only predators and prey.
It's BOOOOSH and the JOOOOOSss fault!
I'm sorry, but I thought after 9/11 we were going to fix the problem, and create an office of Homeland security to come in in case of a WMD attack on a major US city. Well, look at New Orleans and Mississippi, that's pretty much what would happen. And.....we've worked 4 years for this?
You'll have to excuse me, we knew since Friday that it was a Cat 5 storm, even if there are less National Guard troops, you can pull them from other states if needed.
The ball has been dropped, and needs to be picked up again.
I'm sorry, and I am NOT a liberal, but I am HUGELY DISSAPOINTED in the federal government, FEMA and the La/NO government in this situation. We can topple a government in a matter of days, but we can't get people out of a freaking city??? I keep seeing and reading people saying, "We are coming, it takes time", blah blah blah. Days are going by and only a HANDFUL of buses are taking these people out of here for God's sake.
These conditions are horrible. People are dying waiting for help. BABIES ARE STARVING FOR GOD'S SAKE. This just pisses me off and it pisses me off how the people on this board want to say crap like "Liberalism is a Mental Disorder". What a thoughtful post. Blaming liberalism is as assinine as blaming Bush for Global Warming.
Disgusted with this forum the last few days.
I agree. Never rebuild this place.
LOL Well I can have it. They have already declared Marshall Law so it would be legal. These scum have forced what emergency personnel is available to pull of of search and rescue to attempt to provide security in what amounts to a swamp with buildings in it. Next the Nat. Guard will be pulled off of search and rescue and the levee repair missions to deal with it. There's no place to detain the goblins, not enough LEOs to chase them down and catch them if they did and darned scarce resources like boats, choppers etc. to chase them with. They have created anarchy they should pay the consesquences. I have no tears for them.
Could be time to declare NO an independent country with Jesse as Mystic Knight of the Sea for Life.
And Jesse Jackson says its being blown out of proportion...you have to understand these people haven't had any food or water, he says.
Which government did we topple in a "matter of days?"
Of course there are 365 days in a year ...
I'm disappointed that leaders have not publicly ordered "shoot to kill." I want to see the bodies of these animals in the streets of NO.
I'm sick of these "animal" references.
Do these people not have any dignity?
People go through fires, tragedies all the time and survive...are these people any different?
What am I not understanding here?
Also, do they not realize how to maintain order? Get that mayor into the "zone" and have him lead his people out. Someone needs to show a spine from within that victim camp and snap these people back to reality.
Maybe I've finally snapped?
QUESTION: Does anyone know if there's a reason that they haven'y sent in helicopters to the Superdome, if nothing else, just to drop food? I'm not understanding why they aren't sending stuff in. The tsunami victims were helped, so what's going on?
Its from London.
It still just breaks my heart. I've cried more in the last 24 hours (since my electricity came back) than since my mother died last year. I don't have any sympathy for the thugs, but there are so many helpless people there, too, and they are nothing but prey. I wish I could drive down there and help them get out.
