" The only announcement of substance so far is asking the news media NOT to report the riots, etc. "because it upsets people"."

She actually said that? You saw it on TV?

She is pretty bad. Definately in over her head, no pun intended.



I am listening to WDSU live stream. you can hear some kind of demonstration in the background. sounds like a woman screaming into a megaphone.

Earlier they were interviewing people of color on the street. It was really interesting. They were screaming at the camera about not getting food and water and acting all outraged like they were being purposely denied.

The arrogance of these people, they really think they should be waited on hand and foot.

Anyway, the governor is struggling.
Not good in a crisis.

She said it, and before she said it a law enforcement type said it too. He was speaking specifically about the SuperDome - said there was no unrest there, nothing going on, but when the radio and TV announced trouble the occupants would begin running around looking for the trouble, and that upset everybody.

They are either in heavy denial or just trying to keep the lid on.

Ok, that's it. That's coercion to violate the First Amendment. She can't even suggest control of the press. She's off her rocker.

Somebody has got to get the Martial Law action moving. This is insanity. Everybody I talk to is already on pins and needles over the disaster, reporting riots will only solidify reality. D*mmit, we've got to stop the thugs!!!
