Go home, Jesse. YOU are part of the problem.
Yep...sheesh.
I agree!
OReilly on the phone now with someone from a hotel. the hotel privately rented 10 buses to evacuate a bunch of tourists in the hotels in the Quarter. they were commandeered and sent to the superdome, so all these people are stuck - with very little security.
LOL!!! Plastic face!
Check out MSNBC
That may be where I read they broke through the steel door into the storage room and pulled out flats of water, juice, food, etc... and were passing it around.
Leave him there when the city relocates a few miles upstream.
"Refugees" is the word they are actually using to describe themselves.
Here's an example I overheard at a teller window at the main Alexandria branch of Chase (formerly BankOne):
"Good morning, ma'am, I'm a refugee and I need to make a car payment..."
I remember it! Thought he was a moron too, haven't seen him again.
I believe the cable newsers are playing it their way to entice the audience to tune in to gruesome 24/7, while ABCCBSNBC are back to their regular programming.
I've stirred the pot around here plenty by saying the news reporters should have been hauled out of there two days ago...while other FReepers are demanding to see dead bodies.
Some of the most amazing reporting posts I've seen on these threads the past couple of days has been from the scanner and local streaming feeds - imo.
Didn't see the interview, just saw it on FR, cause I remember the similar use of:

It would be nice to find this guy at a later unessential time to catch his thoughts on this.;)
Yes and looks to me like he's already lost about ten pounds.
So these folks made sure they rescued their cigarettes? Guess that is more important than taking food with you?
a guy on the phone from the French Quarter , holed up with some others , I'm almost too shaken by his description to continue, no S**T , he saw a cop killed by looters ,... I'll rewind my DVR and FReepmail you a better take
Oh My God! Where was the baby all this time?
"They" are doing every possible. "They" are responding to a disaster of epic proportions. Some people may believe a disaster ends the day the sun comes up, but the reality is transportation and equipment doesn't materialize out of thin air. There have been a steady stream of buses carrying people away from that site all day long. Right now, there is a break. That is life in a disaster area.
I really do not care for the Senator.
You and I are thinking alike -- if you have money for cigarettes, you have money for a gallon gas.
I wonder what they are looting. Maybe medicine and first aid supplies? Blankets?
