I cannot believe that they will not let these people walk over the bridge to safety. This is unreal that they would force these people to endure these horrid conditions.

I read on another thread that the reason people are not being allowed to cross the bridge into Gretna is because the chief of police there is protecting his city. Gretna has already been victimized by looters and he will not allow an uncontrolled mob to come thru. What would you do? I would be torn between compassion and the reality of knowing what has already happened in NO would undoubtedly happen in Gretna. Things are not always what the media tells us and it seems to me that Shep is close enough to have gotten this information himself.
