Do we still have cigarette machines in the SuperDome?

Jane Wheeldon, 20, a student from Carmarthen, South Wales, said: "We were the prime target. Guys would come up and stroke your back and your tummy and your bum to find any money you had on you. Everyone was staring and it was so intimidating. Welcome to New Orleans!
New Orleans will not be back. It's over.

They said, 'white people are not welcome here'. Waiting for the mayor to apologize to the whites.

No smoking in the dome.

New Orleans will not be back. It's over.I agree.
But even if they rebuild, I think tourism is gone.
How will NO survive? {shrug}

I wonder when the MSM will get around to the buses?
Here's the southeast Louisiana evac plan supplement, most recently revised in 2000. Go to page 13, read paragraph 5. It states:
5. The primary means of hurricane evacuation will be personal vehicles. School and municipal buses, government-owned vehicles and vehicles provided by volunteer agencies may be used to provide transportation for individuals who lack transportation and require assistance in evacuating.

Why should they rebuild?
It's not as if there was minor damage--places that could be repaired.
The place is gone and I see no logic in rebuilding on a disaster site.
Build a tourist mecca like the French Quarter a little further back, maybe, but a town?
Why? Build a new Nawleens further inland and hope it turns out better than the old one.
Why spend huge funds on a levee when the town is gone?
I know there's a sentimental thing going, but sometimes one just has to be sensible.

Can she say "white people are not welcome there"? I think that is HATE SPEECH, where are Al Sharpton/Jesse Jackson/Louis Farrakan?
Let's get the ACLU to sue Great Briton for allowing one of it's citizens to 'dis NO (or speak the truth.)

Just how many of those complaining about the "HELL" they suffered in the Super Dome, can look back and say that if they had stayed at home - would have drown instead?

it is amazing there was no notable security presence in the superdome while letting that number of people in for an unknown amount of time.
To: Binkmeister
Lest we forget, NYC had it's Puerto Rican Day Parade.
Wilding was the sport of the aftermath of the parade.
Police incapable of responding to this totally unexpected event.
People were actually being funnelled into the Park where the attacks took place.
These animals were equal opportunity attackers, as were the thugs in the dome.
