I posted this news story about 10 minutes ago, but for some reason, the FR website manager locked the thread. I just reposted the story because this news is extremely important. It explains why the situation in New Orleans deteriorated so quickly. The first responders were AWOL!
Now FR has pulled the thread entirely. What's with this censorship?! It stinks.
Un-be-lieveable. Just freaking unbelieveable.
Was there anything that went right with this city?
The reason it was pulled is that the title does not match the story at the site. We can't find duplicates when articles are posted that way.
Your threads were all pulled because you created your own title, the content did not match the published article and the link matched neither the title nor the content.
What are the penalties for law enforcement officers who abandon their duties during a situation like this?
Don't think for a moment that W is gonna take a beating without fighting back. They are gonna roast the mayor and the gov.
So you're telling me that in order to post an important news story on FR, one has to use the same headline as a biased French news service?!? The title of my thread accurately reflected the content of the story which is that two-thirds of New Orleans' police officers have gone missing.
If you have some especially apt brief comment you can put it in parenthesis after the original title, but you gotta post the original title
bttt
I believe that your previous thread has been unlocked. Sidebar Moderator may have been a bit too quick on the trigger finger on it and reconsidered. It's understandable; there's a lot going on right now.
The Mayor should have gotten off his bleep and done something
You have to feel important now. You got responses from two different mods.
Riley went on: "We have been fired on with automatic weapons. We still have some thugs around. My biggest disappointment is with the federal government and the National Guard."The guard arrived 48 hours after the hurricane with 40 trucks. They drove their trucks in and went to sleep.
"For 72 hours this police department and the fire department and handful of citizens were alone rescuing people. We have people who died while the National Guard sat and played cards. I understand why we are not winning the war in Iraq if this is what we have."
I am not amused by New Orleans deputy police commander Riley's comments.
Its now a fact, to the media, that the federal response was slow.
