"There is plenty of depravity to go around, coast to coast and border to border...including your area too. "
Nope. NOT where we live. We live in a conservative area. We pay more to not live in it.
I'm sorry to hear you have depravity where you live.
BTW, how do you tolerate Mardi Gras in YOUR area?

They shot and killed a man at the dome this a.m. because he was raping a 13 year old girl. I am telling you some of these people have no self control or even live by any rules of law. N.O. needs lots of prayer!

Fox just said a man who raped a child was killed by the crowds. Sometimes vigilantism = justice.

A generator with an underground storage tank can run a house for days.
Important detail: Make darned sure the gas pump is powered by the generator and not by outside electricity!

Storm hit on Monday.
Tuesday before world knew the extent of the damage.
Authorities started feeding on Thursday.
So this guy alleges this on Friday and we're supposed to believe people couldn't go 2-3 days without resorting to cannibalism? (Especially in light of the woman who hadn't eaten in 2 days and was given an MRE - she threw it away - it wasn't good enough. Good enough for our brave military who protect her butt but not good enough for her.)
And you wouldn't be posting your question on multiple threads to spread the rumor you?

Didn't the NO mayor empty the jails? Does cause and effect mean anything down there?

If this were typical of our nation, it would be a disgrace. New York made us proud. The victims of Andrew and Hugo made us proud. Those who responded to the CA quake made us proud. There are heroes in New Orleans, the rest of LA, MS, & AL but they are overshadowed by this aberrant behavior.

What was left was the indigent poor, the criminals and the government workers. Hardly a recipe for stability and order. Can't dispute that at all.

There is a culture of lawlessness in the lower classes......and a culture of near-total dependency. It is high time we replace the rose as our national flower to something a little more symbolic of the progressive country we have become....

I expect the lawlessness will crank up the gun control crowd. I expect that it will fall on deaf ears, and might even induce some "You gotta be kidding!" comments. Any right-thinking person who does not yet own a gun is probably looking at NO and thinking "There but for the grace of God . . ." and begins thumbing through a gun catalog, or visits Ole Jim's gunshop and starts asking questions.
The Brady Bunch, et al, will be hard put to back up their "The police will protect you" mantra after this one (although they will try). Would that some of the conservative media ask these people if they have reconsidered their positions and watch them self-destruct in defending this suicidal idea.

'I'm sorry to hear you have depravity where you live."
Yes we do. Behind closed doors there is alcoholism, betrayal and probably abusive behavior behind some of those doors. We live in a very conservative ares and pay a lot to live here. With that said there are some wonderful people here were I live but we all fall short.

"were I live but we all fall short'
We also have folks that should hit spell check too! :-)

There is a culture of lawlessness in the lower classes, but particularly in the black 'community.' I'm glad it's been dragged into the light of day. Now there is a visual image to tie the dependency state to, to tie gangsta rap to, to tie apologist-pimps like Jesse Jackson to. These aren't victims of society, they're victimizers of society. They're only victims of their own lack of ambition, decency, and morals. Those of us that grew up in the South already knew this...

"Has anyone heard if the CANNABILISM reported Friday by Randall Robertson, liberal black activist and president of Transafrica, is true?"
Simple rumormongering by an extremist black radical, who IIRC, has renoucnced his US citizenship and now resides in one of the Caribbean Islands, St. Thomas. Again,IIRC.
The man is an idiot!!

"Actually in Fla. there were some problems in South Dade after Andrew. Many of the trouble makers seemingly "disappeared" after the storm, rumors as to what happened to them vary."
Very FAT alligators?

Barring the Republican party doing something totally stupid (which, they have been known to do), I think the Democrat party could very well disappear in three or four more election cycles. They become more irrelevant by the hour.

We are the mainstream media now. ;)
