The scene at the Convention and Superdome are intollerable.. WHERE ARE THE WATER BUFFALOS! People in power told them to go there, took them there, and now folks and children are dying of dehydration because NO ONE Has bothered to bring food or water to them...

THE GOVERNOR OF LA and the MAYOR OF NO are UTTERLY INCOMPETENT!!! You cannot tell me that since MONDAY you could not have airlifted WATER to these people at the very least?

THIS IS INFATHONABLE.... HOW COMPLETELY INCOMPETENT DO YOU HAVE TO BE....

I am with you, it is pathetic. They should also have military MPs already there sorting people into groups of evacuee priority and marking them with paint, not to mention that MREs and water should be dropped off everytime a bus or chopper comes in to take a group out. I saw a clip that showed a man trying to help an elderly woman sit down with her husband who looked totally distraught. WTH is going on down there? I could cooridinate that better. Are there no outside staging areas with water and food. It isn't rocket science. Take in food and water, take out people.

You are right about that. The inability (or negative desire) to get drinking water to these people is ABSURD AND CRIMINAL!!!!!!
