That's the convention center parking lot, according to the caption that was attached to it. That's National Guard toops. That's a lot of food and water. Those people are not being ignored, they are being taken care of.

Grealdo was the one reporting on the convention center..
Interesting. I'd like to see Sheps apologists explain this photo.
he was only referring to the evacuation from the convention center not taking place. he never said they were starving to death at the convention center. the medical situation there, the sanitary situation, is another story - its bad, those people can't be left there much longer.
The problem with Geraldo saying the people at the Convention Center hadn't had food and water was that Harrigan had been there in the afternoon as the troops were handing out food and water to them.
They were all headed over to a certain place and Harrigan said they were about to be served MRE's and water.
Geraldo didn't have his facts straight.
Shep either for that matter. Earlier in the day they showed people dropping off water and I'm assuming MRE's at that overpass. Plus the number has dwindled from 1000's to 100's.
I think what's happening is that as some people are bused off, more come in to take their place.
But as far as being on the verge of tears, I just think that's a result of Shep being tired, genuinely moved by the plight of people (which isn't a bad thing), and frustrated.
Now Geraldo, I won't even talk about that...he is grandstanding just like he was in Afghanistan when he gave away the position of the unit he was embedded with.
The people are still there. THey haven't been evacuated. Those people on the bridge have been there for days. There are just "hundreds" of them. They are being ignored.
The cop and the man on the scene was talking to Geraldo about no food or water. Maybe they got it maybe they didn't. The folks on the bridge, to my knowledge, didn't.
Shep isn't lying. You aren't there. You don't know that all that stuff even got to the people. Some people did get food and water. But they are all still there and the situation is dire. We need to get them out.
I say send them to the closed military bases. Don't rebuild N.O. It is foolhardy. Get them food, clothing, shelter, and help them to get on their feet again.
Bellyaching about Shep is helping nothing. NOTHING.
