NO was poorly managed from the beginning

John Timoney, Miami Chief of Police and a veteran of the NYC Blackout of 1977, said the same on last night's John Batchelor show.

Well, I'm gald for him that he's agreeing with me!

If they had made it clear that evacuation was mandatory and that any -ANY looters would be shot on sight, things would have been much, much better. less crime, violence, rapes, and a more efficient rescue and relief operation.

And in all likleyhood, they probably wouldn't have had to shoot anybody - or if they did, maybe a few people to get the message out.

Now some people here may (and have) called me a nazi for suggesting this, but many more lives would have been saved with that approach than with the secondary disaster that is going on now.
