Is it just me being curious by nature, or does anyone else find it somewhat 'suspicious' that all these fires are breaking out around NO over the past day or so? I can understand 1 here or there (downed lines, gas leaks, chemicals, etc.), but it seems like there have been quite a few all of a sudden. The one earlier was supposedly at a Saks 5th Ave warehouse.
I thought 5th Avenue was completely under water.
are you wondering if some of it is arson? don't give it a second thought - it is.
It's not just you; downtown in NO, they looted places and then set them on fire.
Somebody ought to be on the lookout for a big truck carrying luxury items.
It would be interesting to see them plotted on a map, though, wouldn't it?
Heard on WWL that the police were asked about one of the fires...they said they chased people out of the building as firefighters arrived and "they didn't look like sales clerks."
"Burn Baby Burn", IMHO. Another "diversion" tactic, is how I've been observing this "arson" thing since yesterday.
