while in new york firefighters ran towards the fire....
"Pitiful? No, an air-drop mission like that would be murderous, criminal."
Memory failing, but I seem to vaguely remember some kind of minor flap during the Afghanistan War, about "Bombing Civilians with MRE's"
Also (really digging, now -- this may be hallucination.) something about people getting clobbered by airdropped frozen chickens, maybe in Kosovo, or maybe in some other disaster area around that time.
Ya can't win, no matter what ya do..
(Please excuse the semi-senile rambling) ;)
I heard one of the doctors who had been in the SuperDome on some show tonight; he said that under NO circumstances would he EVER go back in there precisely because of that.
The medical teams were threatened from the second the went through the doors.
Relief is getting EVERYWHERE, except NEW Orleans...
A few hundred criminals are causing the deaths of THOUSANDS, but all the cameras are reporting is that nothing is getting through to New Orleans...
Cops have been shot and killed. Ambulances have been looted, shot at and stolen, relief truck drivers have been killed. Helicopters sniped, hospitals attacked and looted, the Guardsmen are scared to death. The local police force has fallen apart...
Surrounding Parishes are doing everything they can to KEEP the problem IN New Orleans to protect thier OWN people! The interview earlier this evening with the St. Joe Parish Commiteeman was telling...
These folks are going to try and blame BUSH for a corrupt DEM-run community tearing itself apart...
i heard the guy too, what he described was out of a steven king novel....kinda like a prison without guards.
i'm really suprised they thugs havent seized Toyota pickups yet and formed militias to protect their turf....
sorry, that wasn't nice, but the thugocracy that seems to be a large part of the problem has me sitting here shaking my head...
"this may be hallucination"
If it didn't really happen, I'd love to hear what was going on in your life to have you hallucinating about people getting clobbered by airdropped frozen chickens. ;-)
as God is my witness, i thought turkeys could fly
"i'm really suprised they thugs havent seized Toyota pickups yet and formed militias to protect their turf.... "
From a phone call from a man in the French Quarter, they did. Only they 'liberated' Cadillacs from a dealer instead of Toyotas.
Thanks you for the clarification. I had taken my number from an interview done with the head of FEMA, who obviously was not totally in the know... And I agree with you that the mandatory evacuation needed to be called earlier and easily could have...
*** No, hey Jesse, looting for food is one thing, but TV's are not a need especially without electric.***
From the scanners in Louisiana, the State Police have been stopping Looters loaded with gear in stolen trucks from New orleans, all over the state!
A LOT of people saw this as Cash-In time, and went for it, regardless of the cost in thier nieghbors lives...
What kind of a community culture allows that to develop an any kind of a large scale...
This radio show is D E P R E S S I N G.
I tottaly agree Howlin & it's really pissing me off as well.
I had to shut it off.
Obviously those "informed" people don't even know Bush is coming to NO tomorrow.
That's funny, except that Chicago loses folks because it is HOT... New York as well. This is a national tragedy. It is not a time for trite little stories or cheap anthems. We need to support our own, Americans who are suffering.
I don't know your intentions and I don't mean to take offense, but it just seems to be an odd time to joke about people dying - anywhere. When people die from heatwaves, it is usually the elderly, and the ones who are sick. Hey, what a coincidence - that seems to charachterize the first deaths from Katrina - not just in New Orleans, but in Mississippi and Florida as well.
o'm listening to the guy explain that its Bush's fault, a fly by wasn't fair and that he should go to the Superdome like he did in New York!
i wouldn't send Clinton to the superdome right now....
Houston is going to shine thru this.
It's the first city that I could think of that has it all and the people to pull it off with class.
Mark my words.
It pretty well left the host -- was it Aaron Brown - with nothing left to say.
I just keep wondering what rapes, murders, looting, and shootings have to do with being a hurricane evacuee.
Then you would have loved the Sharpton interview. It's crazy. The leftist agenda, downright outrageous lies, just get thrown out by the media, no questions asked.
I heard a citizen call in from the French Quarter who is too scared to even think about trying to leave. He said he heard that the Cadillac dealership near the Superdome had been cleaned out. I know it's hearsay, but those Escalades are a nice ride! (He said he is close to the police precinct in the Quarter.)
