One of my children in Dallas has moved out of his apartment, put a fresh coat of paint and gave it thorough cleaning, to allow a family to move in and posted it on the list. The apartment requires the family to fill out their names and previous address along with an emergency contact. No credit application... they just want to know who is in their apartment building.
The first people that called via a sister was very happy to have it until they found out they had to give information. They turned it down. He explained that it wasn't a credit app... they just want to know who they are. The woman hung up.
I'm very proud of him, but I admit to being a bit nervous about it and feeling guilty for being nervous.
I understand and have been burnt by rumors before too.
Being in Texas this directly affects me as 250k are coming through here, many will stay.
I also know its in the best interests of the country and stability to not report certain things during a national crisis. And that not all truth can always be confirmed, even on the great FR.
But your point is understood and appreciated.
Hopefully the worst rumors will prove false, although it may be wishful thinking.
>Close the city for good. Build refineries...make it a sea port...no neighborhoods no apartments..nothing. Make it for business ports and oil only.<
It will never happen.
It makes too much sense.
I understand.
With all my heart, I hope they are just rumors. I owe it to my fellow Americans to give them the benefit of the doubt. That was not my first instinct however, and I have to admit I'm ashamed of that.
So, I backed myself up, and will assume the best, until the worst is confirmed from more than one source. And you're right, it may be wishful thinking. Time will tell.
Every Sex offender in New Orleans that was on parole and had an address on file is now scott free and no one knows where they are but them, keep you kids close and your guns closer.
I've been saying it for a couple of days now keep your kids close.
Yes, it sums it up as it happened.
He has moved in with a friend and sharing his apartment temporarily until the people from Louisiana either go back home or find a permanent place to stay.

Thats nice of him but I predict he will have a hard time getting them out. Who is paying the rent while they are there?
Just a sec! If the bodies were in a freezer, I doubt that any non-human vermin got at them to mutilate them.
Well this guy didn't drown or suffer some injury during the storm at some distant location. Photos and captions from Fox.com (Day 6 part 2)
Sept. 3: A family walks past a covered body in front of the Convention Center in New Orleans.
Sept. 3: A bystander views a dead body in the streets of New Orleans
It's the same body and location in both photos, notice the manhole cover, stripe on street, and pattern of the red sticky looking stuff.
It doesn't say there were only 40 bodies, just that there were at least 40 mutilated bodies found. I know there were a few that died in the 'Dome of less violent causes. Some were old and in poor health, at least 3 were babies who apparently died of heat stress and/or dehydration.
Most of the evacuees have been sent to Texas, and we aren't unsuspecting around here. We have an admirable record in putting these types to death, either when they are committing their crimes, or after much foldorol in the courts. Either way, they get the justice they deserve. The first way is best. Unarmed victims and bystanders are less common in Texas than in New Orleans.
The people, and I use the term very loosely, who did these things had lost it long before Katrina was even a tropical wave.
Not a good thing to lose some honest Texans to the likes of these animals simply because they were exported to you.
I am a native Texan and well understand, support and applaud the state's agressive stance on the death penalty.
There was a Democrat Mayor, A Democrat Governor, and all the blame lol, rests on the Republican President?
The first line of defense is local, then State, the Federal.
This is hogwash
It is the Mayors fault first. Then the Governor.
