That may have been one of them. But the one I had issues with was wearing a red shirt and look whacked out on something dangerous.

**HAS FEMA EVER HEARD OF A HELICOPTOR?**

What planet are you on??

There were 70 helicopters operating just in the New Orleans area ALONE today!

Every available copter of any size has been chartered by FEMA for the duration, and is enroute to staging zones!

They had 2 choppers at a time unloading at the dome, and returning with Passengers ALL DAY!

Multiple locations for this feed, it is either the most elaborate hoax I've ever seen or this is the real channel. Since it has supposedly been verified on the state trooper channel, I think that the thread letting people know about the shooting at the Superdome should be put back up.

The only real attempt at control came when they hit San Fernando Valley. They got as far as Panorama City and that was were they stopped the riots.
The night of the Northridge quake a curfew was in effect and the national guard was patrolling businesses. Plenty of them out. I sat in front of my business and saw the army or national guards jeeps, in patrols of about twenty vehicles drive by.

From what I can tell, they are peddling a music CD, not a hoax (prank) CD.

According to your sign-up date, you are. If you survive long enough here, and you have a double digit or better IQ, you'll learn that name calling is frowned upon here. I suggest you lurk a little while before saying any more. You're really making an ass of yourself.

Well, I'm hoping the hoaxers aren't in LA or NOLA....

I'm sure someone with more computer savvy than me will find out who "owns" that url.

Something isn't right about the links. They keep prompting downloads. The last one wanted to take over four hours. That didn't seem to be a "feed" to me, so I stopped.
