I've posted about this several times since the hurricane.
I was in the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake. Everyone was very civil. I was lucky because I was in the Silicon Valley, but even in San Francisco all the reporters talked about how nice and patient everyone was. People took turns stopping at all the lights. Everyone waited patiently while doing this.
I was single, and I didn't fear for my safety from thugs at all.
Even in Oakland, everyone was helpful while trying to get those trapped on the highway that collapsed.
It may be liberal around here, but people were really nice during the earthquake.
I'm sorry to see you're still taking flack for your comment in post #3. Obviously, some of these people never read down to #34. With all the racial comments in these threads the last few days, it's easy to be misunderstood. I am also getting TIRED of it. Thanks for the laugh awl.
I have no idea. I don't sit around counting races.
Posse Comitatus ...yes,more folks should know,you are right. This is the truth,no urban legend here, I asked someone if she knew what this was. She guessed that it was a music group, I wasn't surprised...sigh..
God Bless, and thank you for what you are doing.
I don't really know what the hell you're talking about but okay. Since I'm on the crew on your ping list as branding someone as a racist, I only have one thing to say. Comprende sarcasm amigo?
New Orleans sounds bad enough. It is so nice to from Detroit and not in it...
Bud Hopes for Governor of LA.
Jabbar Gibson for Mayor of New Orleans.
There, that is settled. Can we get Federal control implemented now?
I'm originally from New Orleans and as so many other large metropolitan cities in this country self reliance, self preservation, self control has been bred out of a welfare dependent class of people - not all of them black.
What amazes me in this race card game we're having is the number of white people rescuing a vast number of black people, but there is no mention of that by any of the race baiting poverty masters like Jack$on, $harpton, Elijah Cumming$, and Maxine (Clueless) Water$. No better for them to play 60's race card games.
Well it's a new world with new media and they are being called on it!

You didn't notice? Or you're not curious? Or it's a forbidden subject?
I thought it was curious because earlier I read a story about the PB and it stated that because the population of NO had shifted in favor of the blacks in the last 20 years that a concerted effort had been made to see that the PD reflected the demographics of the city. So, of course, I'm wondering what the story is.
"NOLA always enjoyed being compared with Haiti. It seems like the comparison is a little too apt."
I must agree with you.

Sorry to accidentally include you with the rest of the bunch. I was agreeing with your post. And I was pinging those others who on another thread were accusing everyone who noticed that the looters were black of being "racial bigots."
And you can read more information about the NOPD, from this thread NG General Says Aid Delayed by Civil Unrest:
Is it fair to say, using the convention center as an example, that one reason it took until Friday to get aid in is the National Guard needed time to build up a response team with military police to ensure law and order because the New Orleans Police Department had degraded so much?GEN. BLUM: That is not only fair, it is accurate.
Excuse me, sir. But I did no such thing. I asked you an above the board question that you blew off as "irrelevant." I'd let it go, so you are the one continuing something. Not me.

Petronsky,.... One non-criminal, of course would do nothing. But what about 20....30... 40 men going after these "gang of thugs". You know, 40 sheep charging the wolf?
After the first rape, it should of ended from within. It did not for whatever reason I don't know.
You may think I'm wrong, but I am not alone. There is a lot of folks who believe as I do.
I commend your position here at FR, the Emperor has a delightful red swag....
I'll lurk from time to time...even lurking in on your discourse. From a man of your stature, there must be loads of flawless wisdom to absorb.
Six f%$#^*@ rapes... spit
