"Get Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson down there calm down the populace."
I HAD been saying the same thing for days now, unfortunately it sounds as if Jesse IS going to be there but will stoke things instead of calm things. If he was serious about his message he'd liquidate all his assets and buy up every bus between Chicago and NO to help out. I've been looking on the internet for used a used bus between Austin and NO I could get and drive over myself.
Neither Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton has EVER calmed down a situation. They are rabble rousers, not peace makers.
