It's an embarrassment.
I am speechless and so ashamed that such a thing could happen to guests in our country. Please, to all the victims of these hideous, vicious thugs, please accept our deepest apologies.

I remember when those people were first going into the Dome. I was thinking if they knew what they were going to face. It is interesting how a group of people can exercise a little bit of self discipline and survive under difficult circumstances.
How could George Bush do this!?!
"human jungle"
Imagine an American outlet using that analogy... or reporting on the reality of the Superdome for that matter.
I'm sorry that Dubya didn't call in the Apaches to give the supply copters close air support, and to hell with his critics.
I mean the oath does state 'enemies, both foreign and domestic' after all, so...
When these stories filter out internationally, the tourism industry of New Orleans will be permanently destroyed.
This whole lawless Superdome thing puzzles me. WHO was supposed to be in charge of security and organization? Where was the NO Police Chief and the Mayor? And why would the NG (with M-16s) have trouble keeping order?
Everyone is blaming Bush, well, who is to blame for the Horrordome?
Anyone needing more reasons for tearing down the welfare system, I cannot imagine not using this event. People so dependent on someone doing something for them that they are immobilized in the face of death, cannot stop complaining about their treatment afterwards. Pshaw! I have never seen the like since I moved away from Bedford-Styvescent in 1972.
I am so glad that soldier evacuated these people....they were natural targets of the Superdome "element". Luckily, common sense defeated political correctness and this group of folks was moved to a safer place.
There is hope.
