I am watching this with great interest, I live half way between Galveston and Houston, I will make certain I am prepared to defend myself and my friends should the need arise. Happily my little town is well off the beaten path and folks here know to surive and stick together. Unhappily the probelms of Houston (gangs) creep closer all the time. Gangs have pretty much taken over night life in our neighboring town, I fear this event in New Orleans will only enboldem them to try it here too.

"He hopes, he said, that people elsewhere in the United States recognize that most of those left homeless by Katrina are hard-working family people who happen to live in a poor neighborhood. They should not, he pointed out, be confused with the thugs."
What percentage of NO citizens are dependent on some form of government assistance prior to Katrina?
