One thing that's very maddening to me right now is how the alphabet networks seem to be ignoring this story. If this were San Francisco or Los Angeles or Boston or New York, they'd be all over this wall-to-wall. But because it's "just New Orleans," it doesn't seem to merit the attention it needs.
I'll admit that I'm a bit more involved personally, but I think everyone can see what I am saying here.

Looks like they could use your help building a raft! Where's the duct tape?

Never saw anything like this in an emergency situation. Leadership is totally lacking in LA from the Mayor of NO to the Governor. Least they could do is make the people feel better when they talk -- they do just the opposite.
What are they doing with the people in the Dome?

I've heard Slidell mentioned prominently thru this whole tragedy.
Can anyone out there tell me what kind of city Slidell was before the hurricane?
Crime-ridden? Well-kept?
To: benjaminjjones
WWL said looters are breaking into houses on St. Charles this morning if that it the same area you are talking about.

Thank you all. I have three maps out and am attempting to find a passable route. To be honest, it is a rather difficult task - there are so many roads completely closed or with posted advisories.
And Truth, I appreciate the warning and will pass it along. I don't think either of us would have thought about the danger of hijacking and I thank God for the resourcefulness of FRiends.

God, this tragedy (in all these states) is waaaay past terrible.

MIke, thought we already had troops involved?????
To: PhiKapMom
On WWL they just said looters are now breaking into houses on St. Charles. Bad enough they have the flooding which is devastating but now people have to put up with looters breaking into their homes. Disgusting.Looters breaking into houses should get a bullet between their eyes.

I could tell you about a college visit to UVA with a high school buddy in the Navy, but I won't. All I can say is that they didn't like party aminals.
To: mhking
Great story. The MSM could focus more on the LEO who have lost all their property and possessions, yet tirelessly continue to search for and rescue their neighbors.
They are true heroes.
