"BOR—reporterette: they released the prsioners from the local jail, and those were the people looting." WRONG! the Superintendent of corrections (or whatever he is called) said those wrre not true, NO prisoners were released.

People fail to realize that these looters are part of the criminal element that was already present in the city. Many areas around Rampart and such were dangerous to go into by day. They would actually mug people in the cemeteries.

Well then, the two reporters who were there in the middle of NO, and saw the wave of men in orange jumpsuits flow into the streets and bang on their cars were wrong, I guess.
