No one was stopping people from walking out -- what is he talking about? Many people did walk out.
Jefferson Parish is stopping them now. The bridge lets you off in Jeff Parish, at the mall where the police station was overrun and burned a couple of days ago by people who walked over the bridge. The sheriff and president of Jefferson Parish are not letting anybody else over. They have no water or power over there, either, and are dealing with their own rioting and looting situations without any help, apparently.

I just saw Shep Smith SCREAMING at hannity and colmes that the police wouldn't let people walk out of the city, they were turning them back...
I just don't understand what's going on.
I saw a convoy 9 miles long drive right by that bridge around NOON today!
I heard earlier that 50-100 firefighters and their families were trapped inside the bell south building and were pinned down by groups of snipers !! WTF is with that ! I saw video from around noon with literally HUNDREDS of national guard troops standing RIGHT IN FRONT OF THAT BUILDING!
Something funny is going on.
