I can't get link to work. Are you listening on computer or police scanner radio?
To: Ellesu
nothing coming up on google, either, on Steamboat Natchez....with exception of general information/dining information....nothing about it missing...nothing about it as it relates to the hurricane....
To: stlnative
To: Lizarde
the media (at least Fox) has left NO - we're not going to get much information now except for scanners and stuff so keep up the good work
I'm sure you're right. At least for now CNN has Chris Lawrence reporting on the ground in New Orleans.

It just means that the disorder is New Orleans is very odd. This would not normally occur. The WSJ today has a story about some other major American disasters. According to the story, there was a lot of lawlessness after the 1871 Chicago fire (a contemporary account: "The city is infested with a horde of thieves, burglars and cutthroats, bent on plunder, and who will not hesitate to burn, piillage and even murder, as opportunity may seem to offer them to do so with safety.") and the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. (In both cases, martial law was imposed.)

And at this point there's nothing the looters could steal that's worth an officer's life. However, once the reinforcements have arrived,What are they going to do with a bunch of stolen goods? Take them with them on rescue boats? Sell them to other looters? I don't get it.

I have always been aware of gang violence.
However, I have always associated it with kids like from the West Side Story or Dead End kids.
These new gangs are nothing but immoral, no pity thugs willing to do what ever it takes to get what ever they think is owed them by society.
These people are basically not redeemable and have no good use in a civilized society.
They are like the terrorists Muslim thugs terrorizing the world.
Death is the final and best end result for these folks.
