He actually situated a live cam on a hotel where folks were looting and doing so openly. He also got their plate number. Score one for the good guys.
His blog gives an insight rarely spoken of, sharing how it is he can offer this site to the rest of us.

Heads are gonna have to roll over this. It's our responsibility to make sure it's the right ones.
The rescuers are getting pissed about being shot at etc..Some real thugs are ruining the relief for many others.
Poor planning. Same as sending people to the Superdome for shelter when the roof was not safe for such purposes.
Civil Defense used to mean something in this country.
Now it is all about skyboxes and tourism (including convention business).
Taxpayers have been had.
And for "smart growth" types who insist on not widening highways and push instead for increasing population density "downtown", it does nothing to help evacuate a city if a natural or man-made disaster occurs.
I read this... thanks for posting it. Horridly sad.

Set me straight! Is there electricity there?
He set up a web cam?
Bodies were put in the freezer?
Interview by cellphone?
What am I missing?
If they are talking about the route 90 bridge that goes over the convention center and then on to cross the mighty mississippi, that has to be about a 4 or 5 story drop. What were they thinking?
I like acreage out in the county, thankyouverymuch.

The polidiots in LA had PLENTY OF WARNING(72 plus hours)and did not order a MANDATORY evacuation until it was TOO LATE.
When they did order a MANDATORY evacuation, it was not enforced.
They have nobody to blame but THEMSELVES.
ping...sad ping.

Thank you. I think part of it is that the buses were stopped due to the fact that they were being shot at. The people who tried to help had their lives threatened and it was too dangerous a situation. What a mess.
O'Reilly on FOX is the only one who has the guts to put the blame where it belongs, on the Mayor & Governer of NO. They had NO friggen plan. By the way, where is the lady Gov. haven't seen her at all the last few days?
