Pardon me, but I never thought I'd see FReeper's making such hurtful and degrading comments about these victims. They have lost the little that they had. Not everyone in NOLA is a "hoodlum". It is sad to me that this is all you guys can think about when there are probably 10,000 people dead and little innocent babies with no diapers or formula and diabetics with no insulin who may be dying as you type.
Compassionate people will take these "hoodlums" in and help them start over. And lets be clear about this...we don't know who the 'snipers' are and they are the few. I'm 'sorry' that some of them will survive and you may have to "throw more $$ and energy at them", but that is what we do in America. If you really hate the idea so much, perhaps you should consider moving to another country which suits your tastes - and I mean that sincerely.
Um, I'm talking about the HOODLUMS not the good innocent people.
