1 YEAR AGO "Ivan exposes flaws in N.O.'s disaster plans" Mayor & Gov. fail to learn lesson

I believe the mayor and governor called for an evacuation on Sunday. The airport was closed the day before. How do people evacuate when the airport is closed and the freeways are parking lots?? These two incompetents couldn't organize their sock drawer much less a response to a catastrophe. The idiot mayor had one solution--send people to the Superdome. After that, he was out of ideas. Except to curse out President Bush, of course.

Most people (thank God!) have a heart and recognize that not everyone has sufficient money to address every problem at every occasion.
And most have sense enough to want to solve a problem as cheaply as possible.

There *are* poor people - some are only temporarily poor, and others are permanently so. You might want to just shoot all of them, but most Americans would rather help them. I thank God that there are few as heartless as you.

To quote Gitmo : Biloxi, Mobile, Ocean Springs got the same storm (actually the higher winds), but they aren't seeing this stuff.

If you would bother to read what I wrote, and not respond to those voices in your head; you'd see that I never said, implied or made inuendo to harming the poor.

When you have a catestrophy of this nature, and some parasite decides that this is his day to shoot, rob, rape, pillage and attack rescuers; my response is a painful, unmerciful death. Napalm as a 'deterent' suits me just fine. A criminal justice system, courts and due process are a LUXURY, we do not have time for right now. When we are trying to keep 50-100K people alive, we cannot afford to set aside 20 rescue workers to arrest, process, feed, protect and guard a parasite. Those rescue workers are better utilized saving 200 innocent lives. In this case, I think that ratio (1:100) is about right.

So, one would ask "Why are you pleading for mercy, understanding and kindess to those few people responsible for jeapardizing rescuer's lives, medical personnel, equipment and preventing rescue actions; and thereby threatening the very existance of the tens of thousands of innocents?" You are aware that vermin of this caliber are not an endangered species, aren't you?

"The "Mayor" is apparently now saying that he couldn't use the school buses because ....they couldn't take all those people to Texas in a bus without bathrooms!"

Oh, that explains it. I figured it was because they were idiots and let the school buses just sit there and get flooded.

So the young man who took all those people in that school bus to Houston, he should be charged with endangering their lives, because there were no bathrooms, right?
