Just one second, AFP... it is not a concentration camp. It's a *shelter of last resort*. These rapes and so forth have never been alleged as perpetuated by the national guard or other officials but fellow displaced citizens and neighbors! Guest what? Crime doesn't take a vacation. Not in a shelter, not in a prison, not in middle class "white" neighborhoods. Get a grip!

The media SUCKS.

NOLA has a murder rate 7.5 times higher than the national average. Other categories of violent crime are also above the average. Nearly 1 murder and 5.5 aggravated assaults per day without any hurricane to stir the pot.... and surely most of the criminals stayed behind to loot, so the convergence of violent thugs and the complete breakdown of social and legal order was a "perfect storm" of another sort.....
