That would be looting wouldn't it. The Governor would have to shot them.

Cant think of a better way to get shot than trying to break into a military installation.
Dont know about the Governor but base security will damm sure shoot them.

I assume it does AM/FM as well, too, right?

National Hurricane director had to call Mayor Nagin on Friday at home to beg him to order a mandatory evacuation. Knight Ridder article.

Thank you----

I am pissed....there are white people that have been rescued...I don't see them complaining about being called refugees...I KNOW that term connotes a picture of a lawless escape from a dictatorial govt...but, techinically they are seeking refuge...

BUT, they KNOW that...this is just another way to put white people in their place...and make their own rules of political correctness....

"As many as 100,000 inner-city residents didn't have the means to leave and an untold number of tourists were stranded by the closing of the airport, so the city arranged buses to take people to 10 last-resort shelters, including the Superdome." Link

Yeah the fact that so many (200k?) are in Texas, proves that Nagin and his gov didnt have a plan at all.
Even as a Cat 5 was forecasted to give them a direct hit nearly 3 days prior.

I don't believe it...the reporter Steve on FOX changed what a guy he was interviewing said. The intervieweee said "They've got idiots running this city"....the reporter parrots back "They've got idiots running this thing."

My Parish, Ascension Parish, seems to be ground zero for ridiculous rumors. Part of the problem is the Baton Rouge media. They are so focused on Baton Rouge, that they think the surrounding parishes, those that are in their viewing area are invisible.

I was plenty steamed Monday and Tuesday, when the Baton Rouge anchors kept screaming at the Entergy people, what are you doing for Baton Rouge, over and over again. They didn't give a flying rip about W. Baton Rouge, Livingston, Ascension, so we were not getting any news at all about what was occuring here.

In that environment, rumors started spreading. It's a damned shame, but it's reality. There was a rumor that the outlet mall in Gonzales was looted to the ground. This was going on, as my wife and I were actually dropping old baby clothes off there for the relief effort. The mall was maybe 1/4 full, quiet and extremely orderly at the time.

In so many important ways, the communications infrastructure has really let us down here. There is no community tv or radio in many areas, so unless those in the big cities feel charitable enough to let us know what is occuring in the outlying areas, we are stuck with rumor and innuendo.

Alas, my Grundig died. However, Walmart has one that does AM/FM/SW with an LED light that works on solar, crank, or D-Cells for cheap. I think I'll get a couple of those.
