This may sound stupid but why would a tourist have stayed in New Orleans after being warned the storm was coming? Its easy to understand why the poor and the old and even the regular citizens stayed, But even the dumbest tourist should have cleared out.
The liberal death wish has come true!! Anarchy and Selfishness!
Where are the governor and mayor of this state and city??
What ever happened to self control and each of us acting on behalf of the common good?
The buck stops with YOU, Terry Ebbert. Quit, dude, and save us all another minute of your incompetent aggravation.
It will be especially horrifying for those from Europe and Australia. No food, water, or weapons, and stuck in a zoo of savages.
One small problem there is no I-10 west now.
Wonder how many of those tourists were there for Southern Decadence Week, the homosexual extravaganza that was to begin on Wed. and end Sunday?
"Please people learn from this! You are the only person you can count on to save yourself. Please think what you would do right now if disaster struck where you were. The gov is trying but is unable to help if you rely on the gov for help expect to be effectively placed in custody and have any means of protection taken from you!"
If people would have listened, they were told this to start with. Every preparedness situation manual I have ever seen has stated this up front. History tells us this over and over and over. But then one needs to be a student to hear and understand these things.
Do you understand the Constitution and States rights? He can't do anything he isn't invited to do.
BUMP
You know, it will be impossible to evacuate anybody. I can see stampedes and violence the second anybody starts to get onboard. I tis impossbile these people will just stand by and watch others get onboard a bus.
Mayor Nagin is directly responsible for this situation. Had he established law and order initially, the relief workers could have been more effective.
Niicceeee..Real nice.
Wasn't the quote something like the looters that should be investigated are the ones charging $6/gal for gas in Atlanta? That's a 3fer there in one sentence!
1. shore up his looter constituency in NO
2. throw red meat to the anticapitalists
3. let his constituents in Atlanta know he's still thinking about them.
With DUE respect of CNN and reporters, Is it ONLY women who are at the Convention Center and the Superdome? Where are the dad's...of these babies. Are they only single mom's?
I agree 150%.
You've got it! This is liberalism in action. NO is totally a welfare/nanny state city. From all of the people incapable of doing anything for themselves to the whole taxpayer funded levee system to sustain a population in an unlivable unviable environment.
Liberals ought to at least get that...NO is not viable! Abort it! /sarcasm
Not true,
I-10 east is gone,
the causeway north to Covington is gone,
There is no where south to go to.
I-10 west goes to Houston
and as long as buses are moving along it so can the people of New Orleans.
I agree, but up to a point. What about the people who chose to stay behind? What about all the looting? What about the shooting of cops and coast guards, what about the raping of toursits? What about the mayor not issuing a mandatory evac before this?
There is PLENTY of blame everywhere
This is far far far worse than almost any terorist attack I could imagine. Think about it! Even a small nuke would not have caused such damage overall as we see upon us.
Bull! Do you understand what marshal law is?
YOu bring up a good point. If Shep Smith is so radicalized, why not lead a Walk to Salvation? The MSM have fielded reporters and sat trucks, the basis of command and control, use them to inform and lead the refugees out of NO?
NOLA tourists are there to "eat, drink and be merry"... maybe too much of a hangover to get out of dodge...
