It is clear that the locals are ready to lynch the mayor on site--and they know more about the situation than we do.

The National Guard should have been joined with the local police in a joint effort to move people out of the bowl. They could have separate buses for people who resisted evacuation and needed to be cuffed to put on buses or boats.
