Rescue and recovery workers returning from New Orleans say they've found a shocking number of victims who died - not from Hurricane Katrina's floodwaters - but from gunshot wounds and other forms of violence apparently inflicted by gangs who terrorized the city after the storm struck.......

How ever will they find out who killed who and prosecute them?

The Governor could have and should have used her LA NG to stop this on the first day...she chose not to.

Send in O.J. Simpson to find the real killers and Michael Jackson to find the real sex offenders.

Not to worry. This is the New World Order of Utopian beauty that the Left has promised. It only needs a little tuning up.

AND REMEMBER THEY DISTRIBUTED THE MURDERS ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES TO MIX WITH THE GENERAL POPULATION.


Thank you Nagin. Another fantastic job you have done!

But Nagin is now boastful that NWO is crime and drug free and vows to keep it that way!

Did you see Col. Hunts report tonight on O'Reilly? He's been investigating this and reported that gangs came in from all over the country with boats and SUV's.

A lot of fights were between the different gangs in turf disputes. That the amount of merchandise stolen is in the millions -- a lot of insurance claims have already been filed. Basically, said the real story of the looting and killing has been hushed up by the State and Mayor.

It's the first segment of O'Reilly for anyone who wants to find the transcript.

Bodies with bullet holes, knife wounds, etc. should not be counted as hurricane "victims."

It is only fair since Nagin dumped his TRASH on the U.S. let's use New Orleans for a landfill and dump OUR trash on him. Sound like a plan? LOL

Doesn't surprise me a bit.

Blanco and Nagin need to be charged as accessories to murder. At LEAST, malfeasance for not doing their duty and betraying a public trust.

No disaster planner, he said, predicted that people would loot gun stores after the storm and shoot at police, rescue officials and helicopters.

Then they are plenty STOOPID! I would have been shocked had they NOT stolen guns and gone on a rampage. These gang bangers are violent every day of the week, anyway, but this time there were no cops to call against them, and they knew it.

Exactly and state Senator Cleo Fields was just on MSNBC with Tucker Carlson blasting the Red Cross for not going in. Said he was there 5 days driving buses and was never shot at. He said it was not that dangerous and even if it would have been that is no excuse not to help people. He makes me sick!

It was probably just flying debris from a sporting goods store.

Here's the tale of a woman who wound up coming to my area after Katrina;

Pay particular attention to the last paragraph.

The Red Cross is apparently "screwing up" just like they after 911.

We only give to the Salvation Army now.

The Col also pointed out that as many as THREE THOUSAND of the gang-banging savages were roaming the streets of New Orleans...

Yet the first instinct of the inner-city, scumbag liberal mayor and PO-lice chief is to DISARM the law-abiding.

WONDERFUL.

So why didn't the people of New Orleans help one another? Why don't they do it now instead of waiting for handouts and complaining?

I remembered that after I completed my post. Did you read the article online that a high number of the dead are from violence instead of drowning? Said a lot of the dead had guns in their hands and bullet holes in their heads or slit throats.

These are NOT nice guys. I wonder how many were part of M13? Isn't this their MO?

Before the National Guard and Red Cross were able to get in?
