Why on earth would you or Geraldo want thousands more people wandering through waist deep sewage and armed gangs?
Geraldo was doing his best last night to incite a riot. Fortunately, he failed.

I think people are confusing the Shepard Smith and Geraldo reports in this thread. According to Smith, people were dying from medical problems and even simple dehydration - dying from the lack of the most basic need of humans - drinking water. That was happening where they were, but there was food, shelter, and medical care available within walking distance. They were on a bridge. I don't know if they would have had to even walk through water or not. That is how I understood his report.
Did you actually look at the footage? The whole point of people walking over the I-10 is that it was elevated above the water and sewage and all. It's the only safe path into or out of the area. They wouldn't have been "wandering through waist deep sewage and armed gangs" - as a matter of fact, hundreds and hundreds of people were calmly sitting on the bridge, waiting for the buses, since that is the only route the buses could take.
Heavens, even if there are 100 out of every 1000 of those residents that are part of an "armed gang", what about the other 900 innocent people, who are following directions, doing what they're told, abandoned and unable to escape the situation? Actually prevented at gunpoint from escaping that hellhole?
Don't be so kneejerk.
"Geraldo was doing his best last night to incite a riot."
His "performance" was utterly shameful.
"Why on earth would you or Geraldo want thousands more people wandering through waist deep sewage and armed gangs?"
Where are these people going to walk to without water, food and other essentials? That would have been another disaster as that Freeway became a highway of dead refugees.

Whorealdo was completely insane last night on Fox. He was trying to incite a riot, and he failed.
The reporters explained that the bridge that is blocked by police is dry and leads to a dry area of NO that has FOOD and yes, even electricity!
I'm sure they think they are being kept there for their own safety. However, people are dying there from the heat and lack of food/water for 4 days. I don't get it.
Geraldo's a moron. He's a big drama queen. I saw that last night and I thought he was going to start squirting croc tears.
