The poor were left behind. There was and is no plan to get them out of NO, either before or after the hurricane. I STILL have heard of no coherent plan. Incredible. They are desperate. In their situation, I would be helping myself to what I need to survive.

There is NO WAY they can blame this on Bush, FEMA or anything else...

And they will NOT stay in the DOME for more than a WEEK! IS this guy out of his mind??????

It's becoming GLARYINGLY clear that they had NO real plan for dealing with the worst case scenario, Hurricane or not..

People are starting to WALK OUT on their own!

In their situation, I would be helping myself to what I need to survive.

That is totally understandable; however, plasma TVs, jewelry, stereos, and multiple pairs of jeans are NOT goods needed for survival.

This is so much fertilizer. These people didn't have feet? They couldn't catch any of the hundreds of buses that left the city? What happened is that folks that don't have a lot of energy for effort waited for some magical carpet to arrive and transport them away. They didn't even bother to get up and take the shuttles to the Superdome.

There was zero reason for anyone who could walk in the city to have remained in their homes. They had options of safety, they didn't take them, and now they're 'taking what they're owed' from those who actually worked for a living.

If there is any desperation it is because the liberal dependency machine didn't drop it in their lap. And you've see the same videos I've seen. They weren't taking what they needed to survive, they were taking what wasn't nailed down.

From the people who are making it out of the city, the situation is getting pretty clear. The looters are fleeing the flooded regions and looting the areas that survived, sometimes shooting those that get in their way.
