Thanks for the thread, I want to know where are the food companies, the clothing companies, Heinz, Libby's, Hunts, Del Monte: The GAP, Old Navy, Dillard's?
I'm to angry right now to even type. Why are the above not donating supplies, where are the hotels, chain restaurants, shoe stores, etc? Taking matching fund?

Does anybody have information on the oil rigs and the "loop" status?
To: WoodstockCat
I don't know the exact area, but he said its an old house on 3 acres of land about 15 miles out of Biloxi. He lives here in Tokyo near me and was only able to contact his brother in Chicago. Last name is Harris. Thank you for asking.
To: tcrlaf
Yeah. From the scanner traffic, I think someone in NO is about to get a *really* big surprise.

Ya know, if it is so difficult to coordinate, as Gov Blanco is stating (and I believe her), why doesn't she put a military general in charge of coordination?
To: Smogger
But what makes it an "attack?" Because someone heard a gunshot?
Actually the report of snipers is very credible:
http://www.cnn.com/2005/WEATHER/09/01/katrina.impact/index.html
NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana (CNN) -- New Orleans' Charity Hospital halted efforts to evacuate its patients after it came under sniper fire, according to Dr. Tyler Curiel, who witnessed the incidents. The attack came as New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin issued "a desperate SOS" for the thousands of people stranded in an around the city's convention center with no food or water and fading hope. Curiel and his National Guard escorts, were returning to the hospital after dropping off patients at nearby Tulane Medical Center, when someone started shooting at their convoy of Humvees. "We were coming in from a parking deck at Tulane Medical Center, and a guy in a white shirt started firing at us," Curiel said. "The National Guard (troops), wearing flak jackets, tried to get a bead on this guy. "

CAN WE GO TO SMALL CAP NOW?Sorry to clutter the thread, but LOL!!
To: hipaatwo
I don't think Gupta would spread a rumor do you ? I think that the hospital staff might not know the differce between shots fired, and an "attack" on the hospital. I think people in the hospital have heard the same rumors as we have read on here (because they obviously have phone service) I think people are on edge.

Uhh,Rage, the capslock can be our friend. Personal flame attacks are really frowned upon on this site.

Good point..while everyone is out today..if you don't see a matching funds sign in a store you shop at..ask to see a manager and have him call his manager..etc. and ask why.

Earlier on this thread someone was blasting him for NOT showing it. So you're damned if you do and damned if you don't.

I did hear that martial law was enacted for a couple of days but the cops saw no signs of looting so martial law was suspended. It was only innocent storekeeper's who got shot.
To: lugsoul
There were FReepers last night insisting that people wouldn't open their wallet and donate until they say dead bodies. A version of pay-per-view is what I figured. They had all the logistics figured out from their armchairs eating popcorn. Show the dead bodies, but blur the faces so the families watching tv wouldn't recognize them...
A pathetic example for a civilized society.
