But in reality, you can't really compare 9/11 scenario to the entire city of NO.

Think of the land mass that has been affected. 9/11 didn't affected the whole city, it only affected a small physical area of the city.

There were nearby shelters, and hospitals, and infrastructure all readily available to those affected.

In NO the scope of the thing is immense. I'm beginning to think we are understaffing the problem considering the scope of the situation and the fact that people are without food and water. It's going to take a lot more boots on the ground to get control...if the Gov of LA needs to order it, then somebody needs to say so out loud.

The President, or some official needs to "shame her into asking"...if that is truly the case and that is why a bigger presence hasn't shown up.

And as far as FEMA, well, don't they expect this kind of unrest during an emergency? If they haven't planned for that sort of thing, they need to rethink their plans for a major attack or disaster of any kind.

The only comparison I made is that the left shut up for a few months after 9/11; to the extent this is larger, you'd think the left would be even more willing to put aside political gain as their first goal. I heard on Rush Hillary wants hearings on gas price-gouging to start immediately, e.g.
