Troops find grisly scenes in New Orleans
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 6 (UPI) -- Troops scouring New Orleans for survivors and victims reported finding at least 40 mutilated bodies in the Convention Center refugee center.
Arkansas National Guardsman Mikel Brooks told the New Orleans Times Picayune many of the dead were elderly, or showed signs of trauma.
"There's another one in the freezer, a 7-year-old with her throat cut," he said.
As the searches became more organized since the Aug. 29 onslaught of Hurricane Katrina, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said repair crews had patched the ruptured levee along the 17th Street Canal and had begun pumping out water.
The failure of the levee system after the storm left about 80 percent of the city flooded up to 20 feet deep, and Corps officials said it would take nearly three months to drain some neighborhoods, CNN reported.
Deputy Police Chief Warren Riley told reporters that thousands of people -- many of them with pets -- are insisting on staying in what he called "a hazard."
"We advise people that this city has been destroyed. It has been completely destroyed," Riley said.
Great point. A quick lookup lists 1405 sex offenders/child predators in Orleans parish.

The perps are just 'angry taxpayers.' Ask Revrund Al Sharpton. That's his take on it.
Inland where, how far? How do these people get established, who pays for the upgraded rail facilities? How do they get people from the rail station to where they work, or to the restaurants, gas stations, bus stations, that support the workers, etc...What about emergency personnel, do they live far inland?
They would love to own the largest port in America.
I agree. Birth rate for urban legends is going to spike.
Freepers sit in judgement??? You can't be serious...
The age of this poor child is the same as one of the 2 child rapes that is alleged to have taken place at the hell dome. One child was allegedly raped and killed, the other raped. Sickening. The authorities should have seen it coming but they didn't think the hurricane would hit them either. Fools. Inept fools, the local and state officials.
Well, at least other municipalities and states will learn from this mess. Mass evacuations to public arenas will bring together killers, molesters, looters, gang bangers, and criminal miscreants from all walks of life. All such arenas need a bevy of armed guards with orders to shoot to kill.
And all shelters SHOULD accept and prepare for pets for crying out loud!
Lessons learned indeed.
and where might you place the 10,000 deaths estimate in terms of the MSM BS Meter?
FReepers, Get Yer Guns!! Al-Zarqawi's forces have landed & infiltrated!!
But really, in all seriousness, this is no different than the killing/burning of the 4 Civilian conractors in Al-Fallujah last year.
good question. I guess we'll find out. I hope it's way too high.
Don't bring a knife to a gun fight.
Its absolutely amazing how primitive some in our society can be despite the trillions of dollars showered upon them out of guilt.
The sick and elderly aside, I have never seen such a bunch of able bodied men be totally useless and in fact deterimental to the safety of others. To think many were drowning, while some thought it more important to loot plasma tv's is just telling.
A monster? Probably many.
No one has accounted for all of the prison inmates, as far as I can tell.
That was the little girl that was raped by a thug.
RIP little one!
Word of this was leaking out while it was happening, e.g., from tourists who were evacuated earlier, from hysterical on-the-scene TV reporters, from the chief of police. Time to refocus the blamers from the feds down to the individuals--the first tier in any emergency response effort. Perpetrators should have been shot immediately, but neither Nagin nor Blanco had the balls to order what had to be done. Also, the individual cops didn't have the balls to do what had to be done--damn receiving orders. And the people themselves should have risen up and taken control, snuffing the perps right away.
Poverty forces you to do terrible things. Obviously, somebody was trapped without food and water and felt they had no choice but to BUTCHER CHILDREN.
I doubt that they will be found or even sought after. Read the crime stats for N.O. and you will find that crime is something like 3-4X the national average, incredible.
That's why we decided that N.O. doesn't need our tourist $$, well, the one thing we really got a lot out of was the D-Day museum, I wonder how that fared?
I agree and I have been doing that time and time again but in order to get some stupid liberals to get it you have to communicate on their level.
I just am tired of the overused "It's Bush's fault." It's time to retire that from this site.
I read earlier today that police could not verify any such reports.
I laughed at this comment, and then ... I didn't.
