I think that is what has me so angry. These innocent people were used as pawns last weekend by their representation and they are being held as pawns this weekend by the MSM and their black leaders.
A thread was just yanked with some EXTREMELY VALUABLE INFO about N.O., Mayor Nagin and "evacuations" during Hurricane Ivan. I guess because the source was Mother Jones, the message was lost: READ THIS! What they are crying foul over now is what they complained about N.O.'s mayor doing during Ivan, published in Sept 2004!
Here is a link to the original article:

Title: Poor, Black and Left Behind.

Excerpt:
"New Orleans had spent decades preparing for inevitable submersion by the storm surge of a class-five hurricane. Civil defense officials conceded they had ten thousand body bags on hand to deal with the worst-case scenario. But no one seemed to have bothered to devise a plan to evacuate the city's poorest or most infirm residents. The day before the hurricane hit the Gulf Coast, New Orlean's daily, the Times-Picayune, ran an alarming story about the "large group…mostly concentrated in poorer neighborhoods" who wanted to evacuate but couldn't.
Only at the last moment, with winds churning Lake Pontchartrain, did Mayor Ray Nagin reluctantly open the Louisiana Superdome and a few schools to desperate residents. He was reportedly worried that lower-class refugees might damage or graffiti the Superdome."
Interview now on the WWL feed: Jefferson Parish President Aaron Broussard has good news. The influx of water has stopped. He's got water restored to most of the parish, so fires can be put out. He's going to let people into the parish on a temporary basis just long enough to visit their homes, grab their important documents, secure their property and leave. After Friday, he's bringing in military reinforcements and putting the entire parish on lockdown. No cars will be allowed on the streets and it's a mandatory evacuation. He actually said, "You would be better off being a nutria in Jefferson Parish than violating this aggressive curfew!"
I don't know much about Jefferson Parish, but I am VERY impressed listening to Aaron Broussard's interview. I wish this guy had played a bigger statewide role because he really seems to have a handle on the situation and how to resolve it. He knows what the problems are and he has concrete, detailed solutions to each one of them.
Thank God somebody's got a plan!
