This is a sad story. Bet they don't have any plans to come back to USA, and you sure couldn't blame them.

They said: "The threat came from a minority - mainly young men."

This must be the same group as in the Aussie story earlier, helping the nurses afterwards and all.

[RightWinger]

That's great, welcome to America, land of the free and home of the gangs.

Makes me sick.

[ladyinred]

So embarrassing! Of course they were given different treatment. They had to get them out there for their own safety. This is disgraceful and certainly not Bush's fault. Thugs!

But wait a minute... I thought according to the Guardian this morning, the Brits were all left to rot and die in their hotel rooms, because they were discriminated against by US authorities...

[neutrino]

Ahh, yes. The ongoing celebration of diversity.

[Reactionary]

Aww, you mean the tolerance and diversity crowd are the racist swine we always knew they were?

“The majority of the people of New Orleans are absolutely lovely,”

I see the little twit hasn't learned a thing from her experience and is still spouting that tired old liberal BS which, imo, stinks worse than anything she might've caught a whiff of in the Superdome.

Compare her remark to this one by an Australian fellow who barely got out with his group: "That [the Superdome] was the worst place in the universe. Ninety-eight per cent of the people around the world are good. In that place, 98 per cent of the people were bad."

Thug Culture

When rap music started becoming worldwide through the likes of the NWA, Queen Latifah and Ron D Mc, a ghetto fabulous trend followed.

Unfortunately, over here in UK, young and impressionable teenagers misinterpreted the content of the artists lyrics.

They tried to emulate the crimes that the artists address in their tunes. But this is not what the artists were trying to achieve. They were trying to teach the young generation about what they had been through and why. Youth started trying to be like their idols and to do this they turned to gang and guns crimes.

Main cities like London are now full of gangs who commit crimes, just to achieve respect from their peers or because they want the latest pair of kicks (trainers).

The tourists should ask the mayor why he forgot his emergency plan, and forgot his buses.

A nightmare hell of a disaster is deathly frigtening on its own merit, but in a foreign country, it has to be even worse.

If I ever have an urge to head south for a vacation, I'll go to Aruba.

[A CA Guy]

You want racism NAACP, Democrats, Jackson and ACLU? There was your racism.

[Jaysun]

Damned brutes! Sorry Brits.

[George Oh Well]

Why the hell were they in New Orleans when the had a four-day warning that a hurricane was on the way?

[theBuckwheat]

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.

[Freee-dame]

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.

[TheBattman]

Gotta love those native NOLA folks - what a wonderful impression they left on the "foreigners".

Every news report out of NOLA jsut further erodes any positive feelings I might ever have had for those folks.

But when a city allows the criminals to run the place, what more can you expect when something devestating happens? The thugs will practice their animal/monster traits.

“The atmosphere was extremely intimidating,” the Lancaster University student said. “People stared at us all the time and men would come up to me and stroke my stomach and bottom. They would also say horrible, suggestive things. The worst time came when there was a rumour that a white man had raped a black woman. We were scared that we would be raped, robbed, or both. People were arguing, fighting and being arrested all the time.”

The Brits learned first hand about the virtues of living in multicultural, multiracial paradise.
