I also read that the gangsters were keeping most of the food for themselves and parsed out a small amount to the people who were initially at the convention center. Problem was the crowd there kept growing.... and the gansters killed several people inside.

As the corpse's started to rot in that heat I can only imagine the stench those babies inside were exposed to. Several elderly people died outside and were covered up with blankets and you could see the color changing on those covers as body fluids leaked out.

Anyway you look at it this is a disaster of immense proportions... and there is plenty of blame to go around... I think you can actually start with the Democratic Party who skewered Bernie Kerick to the point he had to withdraw from his nomination as Homeland Security Secretary. I may be in the minority, but I think he would have been in his element in this emergency and I'd rather have a "street" person in charge any day than a bureaucrat in an extreme emergency.

There was one clip of people looting the Convention Center, taking piles of Snapple. Again, this was from foodstocks onsite before it closed from the storm, not any relief samples. Showed them loading them into trucks.

"and the gansters killed several people inside."

If that is true then the police chief and the mayor need to be hung by their gonads until they rot off!
