It is with heavy heart I write this...
I have finally reconnected with my best friend who is a paramedic who was sent from Georgia 2 days ago to Gulf Port, Mississippi before the hurricane hit.
He just reached me within the last 10 mins via emergency cell phone to tell me he was alive.
Thousands of bodies have been discovered throughout Mississippi in Gulf Port, Waveland,Hancock County,Bay of St.Louis.
They are hanging in trees and they are pulling them out 30 at a time. Entire families found drowned in their homes and washing up on shore.
The stories he could tell me were brief. National Guard is on the scene and arresting anyone seen on the streets.
The numbers are staggering and what I have been told tonight will shake people to their foundation as the numbers will be coming out in the next 24-hours of just how many people have actually perished in these and 3 other beach communities.
More to follow....
That's not even worth attempting to counter. You're simply a disgraceful rat op.
If you see the video footage of Biloxi, and read MFH report, I would have to agree with MFH because Biloxi was not evacuated as NO was.
Which means that the people who stayed back are gone. There is very little left in Biloxi.
This is terrible news, really terrible.
I've been out to the bank, back and tried to reach someone and I'm going out again to mail a money order and all you can do is sit there and whine about your last post? Puhleeese. You are beyond irrelevant! Pith off TxRadioSchmuck!
methinks dadadoody (8/31/05) has been here before, don't you?
What are you blathering about.
This is not about President Bush (who is honest).
Did you think you were on a Sheehan thread?
"I'm certain that what this man saw WILL be seared in his memory. Forever."
Sure. I'm just pointing out that, at this point, there's about as much confirmation of this guy's story as there is of Kerry's.
TV newscopters and their crews are f***ing vultures, they'd go live and violate any airspace if they thought they could get pictures of "thosuands" of dead bodies.
We haven't seen any such images yet...
MFH's beta noire ;)
Has anyone heard of any INTERNATIONAL EFFORTS to help with this disaster? The US was on the spot for the tsunami relief...yet criticized. We are always first helping with natural disasters world over. I haven't heard of anything coming from other countries yet. Has anyone?
typed too fast, I guess that makes dadadoody a black beta, not a bete noire
Foxnews reporting that NO Mayor has said the body count may be up in the thousands.
Mayor of NO said he believes there will be thousands found dead
I thought I saw something earlier around here about Russian offering help.
Imagine doing recon... and seeing that shark head in the sea.
Disconcerting news, but frankly, not unexpected.
Oh man.
many orders of crow will be served
This is true. :)
This is bull and you know it. How can you possibly come to that conclusion? A long-time FReeper posts his friend's observations, and many of us see no reason to doubt his veracity. Please explain how not calling MFH a liar equals wanting thousands of deaths.
Heard it on FOX as well...N.O. Mayor "thousands dead in orleans parish"
