Expect to hear about the rape rooms inside the convention center very soon...
Of course, the VERY local officials who failed to have any 1st response plan in place are now screaming to the Dinosaur Media "this is a NATIONAL disgrace". Oh really despite the fact that your OWN NHIS plan was suppose to be planning for this event as far back as 2001? No it is a disgrace to the city of NO and the State of Louisiana. YOU failed in your duty and now better men are being pilloried, again, for having to clean up the Hysteric Left's mess again.
America was the land of "pull yourself up by your own bootstraps."
Not seen that in a long time.........
NO has become Little Somalia!
Wow! What a very revealing difference!
With a crime rate 10 times the national average, New Orleans was about the closest thing we had to a third world city in this country.
That place is indeed an embarassment and a shame.
Imagine this same situation -- only with radiation added. Had a you-know-what hit the city instead of a hurricane, the damage and chaos would be just the same as it is tonight, only the fallout outside would be in the 400-500 rem/hour range by now.
That's what a terrorist attack with a "special weapon" would be like.
And, just as it would be in that case, the solution to the current situation in NOLA is simply to withdraw all forces to safe havens and let nature take its course.
Social chaos: it's what happens when the government doesn't shoot looters on sight.
"Daily News photographer Mike Appleton and I heard there was a riot under way at the convention center and headed over there."
Oh boy, a riot! Let's go there and get some pictures. The press sucks.
Just how great was this city before this tragedy?
Not to be insensitive, but as far as I have known, this city was a cauldron of corruption, decadence, laziness, and dependency. How great was this city?
Democrats have operated this city for a very long time. A fine creation.
They weren't dumped there, they (most but not all) chose to stay even after being repeatedly warned and then ordered to leave the city. I am getting so damn sick of hearing this crap.
With the looking, mayhem, rape and murder escalating, how much you want to bet the liberal media stops portraying this as a race issue?
There seems to be plenty of water but too few people who know how to add a few drops of Clorox to it before drinking it.
Unfortunately, many residents of New Orleans are returning to their AFrican roots.
And the heart of the problem seems to be lack of fathers in most families.
After a;;, how many 10-second soundbites do you see in which there is a mother holding small crying children, with no father anywhere in sight.
The older children are left to fend for themselves by looting and preying on the weak.
If I knew that my children, or any relative for that matter, were going to be in such a dangerous situation as a cat. 4 hurricane, I'd like to believe me and my family (including my son) would have crossed hell or high water to evacuate them days before the hurricane struck.
The key consideration in the breakdown of a society is whether civilization is internal or external to the individual. Our pandering agenda of political correctness has undermined the critical internalization of our culture through education and civics, and has replaced it instead with a "nonjudgemental" multicultural agenda, that in effect means "NO culture". In most cases, inculcation of societal norms still occurs (to some degree) in the home, church or in non-government education. Where it does not sufficiently occur in these environments, we see a catastrophic failure of the act of "civilization" (meaning the civilizing of the individual through reason, morals and faith.) As a result, in some communities, political correctness has allowed civilization to simply become a veneer, a thin and broad collection of norms and behaviors, frequently broken, and sustained only by threat or force of violent coersion.
Civilization is only robust when achieved internally and intrinsically. Those residents who were internally civilized had a higher propensity evacuate early, leaving a higher concentration of the uncivilized among the remaining residents. The anarchy that has broken out in the absence of force of authority is a logical outcome of tolerance of uncivilized behavior under the auspices of political correctness.
PC kills, and we are seeing it in New Orleans.
I thought isnt that exactly like Iraq?
What nobody is talking about on the MSM is that these people were told to leave the city on Saturday. They knew the hurricane was heading their way, that it was getting bigger, and they stayed anyway. Now its all "oh my God save me" followed by "this is a disgrace!". Old people, sick people, and the children of Stupid People are obviously exempt, but the rest of these people have nobody to blame but themselves for staying behind.
find later bump
Why aren't these people being organized to work and help instead of being allowed to layabout and terrorize women and children.
