What on earth makes you think these people are lying? I've heard similar accounts from other groups of people and I think it's malicious on your part to insinuate that these traumatized people are lying.

And the idiot Mayor Navin is getting a complete pass by the MSM, as if he was the hero who was let down.

I wonder why these people didn't help them.

Many tourists had no way out. Plane seats were all taken and rental cars were nonexistent.

Perhaps the Consulate evacuated?

You're right...just boastings of criminal behavior.

I can't watch 'em.

There are more than 400 city buses in those two flooded city parking lots, forgotten by the mayor, overlooked by the MSM.

New Orlean Superdome, the ultimate Survivor Island, an island of steel and concrete that contained the condensed inner city.

I hope these poor people write a complaint to the mayor of New Orleans over their treatment.

It's what happens when the government and society provides the incentive and acceptance of the breakdown of the family. The feminists have brainwashed women into thinking that men are not necessary to raise a family. Any woman who is trying to raise teenage boys finds out real quick how powerless they are against their teenage boys once they get into the drug culture or start hanging out with the gangsters.

The 'mayor' is unworthy of the name.

The youngster who comandeered that bus and got 70 people all the way to Houston is a better man by far than that so-called 'mayor'.

Yep, how long before a new hit album comes out celebrating the mayhem? How long before there's a lyric line like "we'll put you down again like we did in New Orleans" etc.

Mr Nelson said that local people also noticed that they received preferential treatment from the guards who gave them ration packs and water to help them to avoid food queues.

I thought that there wasn't any food in the dome? I heard Tim Russert accuse Michael Chertoff of this today and then not allow him to respond to the accusation.

Sure. Ever tried to obtain assistance in a foreign country from the American Consulate in the midst of a hurricane? My daughter has, and she got NO help, no assistance and no return phone call.

Rap culture is sick, they can't even hold an awards show without people getting shot up. It worries me that self censorship is not working because sooner or later the government is going to have step in.
