Troops find grisly scenes in New Orleans (find "at least" 40 mutilated bodies in convention center)

Troops find grisly scenes in New Orleans

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 6 (UPI) -- Troops scouring New Orleans for survivors and victims reported finding at least 40 mutilated bodies in the Convention Center refugee center.

Arkansas National Guardsman Mikel Brooks told the New Orleans Times Picayune many of the dead were elderly, or showed signs of trauma.

"There's another one in the freezer, a 7-year-old with her throat cut," he said.

As the searches became more organized since the Aug. 29 onslaught of Hurricane Katrina, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said repair crews had patched the ruptured levee along the 17th Street Canal and had begun pumping out water.

The failure of the levee system after the storm left about 80 percent of the city flooded up to 20 feet deep, and Corps officials said it would take nearly three months to drain some neighborhoods, CNN reported.

Deputy Police Chief Warren Riley told reporters that thousands of people -- many of them with pets -- are insisting on staying in what he called "a hazard."

"We advise people that this city has been destroyed. It has been completely destroyed," Riley said.

He found the truth to hard to accept, so into denial he went.

"Officials have already had to use deadly force to contain criminal activities. On Sunday, police killed two men who opened fire on contractors attempting to fix a bridge in New Orleans."

Surely this must be another one of those wild "Rumors" (sarcasm)

So, are you saying if a male runs out of sex, he should just rape the closest child?

So it's true? Then where are the other sources, detailing tales of people eating corpses? Somebody else is going to be willing to tell their story.

Even this story was at first falsely reported that the police killed the contractors, which shows the importance of waiting for more information.

New Orleans bus station jail fills up

"The contractors shot on Sunday were the latest example of the security problems which saw gun stores and other businesses looted and many rapes and killings.

"According to Fox News about an hour ago, 30% of the New Orleans police force has not been heard from in about a week."

What do you want to bet they will still get their paychecks! Hell, I be willing to bet some of the 30% were on the payroll but never worked a day!

Would people ritually mutilate the dead in the kind of voodoo prevalent there. Or I could be flippant and ask who was sticking pins in a map of New Orleans while reciting incantations to the devil.

New Orleans will be rebuilt but hopefully they will bring in some fill dirt before rebuilding the neighborhoods that flooded so badly this time around.

I would think anywhere that flooded they would want to cover the ground to some depth. If only for sake of protecting playing children from the residue of pollutants that accompanied the flood waters.

There were reports of a seven year old who had been raped there -- maybe that was her...

There's another one in the freezer, a 7-year-old with her throat cut," he said. Good Lord.

Are you sure you meant this for me?

I have no idea what you are talking about. I was answering another poster who asked some specific, news related questions.

Oh...and fwiw, the answer to your question would be: Unequivocally, unquestionably, not only no, but HELL NO. What kind of disgusting question is that anyway??

"Even this story was at first falsely reported that the police killed the contractors, which shows the importance of waiting for more information."

I believe at some point we have to accept that many of these things DID happen.

When you look at all that has went on, its painfully obvious to me.

"NEW ORLEANS Sep 6, 2005 — Life wasn't supposed to end this way for Sgt. Paul Accardo: alone in chaos. He wrote a note telling anyone who found him to contact a fellow officer. He was precise, and thoughtful, to the end. Then he stuck a gun into his mouth and killed himself."

The 2 cops who committed suicide, another rumor?
I heard the very thing claimed here on FR.

No kidding! My friend who lives next door dates a liberal C%^&* who is anti-gun and lives with him. We were in the driveway and I told him to come directly to my house in the event of a calamity for protection or simply that he should go stock up. She went ballistic (no pun intended) and almost was red with anger at me. I asked her little fat white A#%$%^ what she would do if faced with three men wanting to rape her and steal her loot. She said - "No Guns" I said - ok - what will you use to fend for yourself?

She was silent and angry. My friend wa salso silent since he is P$%^&&*whipped by this disgusting liberal fat mess of spoiled westchester brat.

If they did happen, just like the suicides, they will be reported eventually based on more than one source. In any major catastrophe, rumors of Armageddon run rampant. Some of it is true, most of it is not.

As I have thought about this, I have decided that restraint is the best thing at this point. Why get myself all upset (which I was) about things that may not have happened?

No they don't but...they're gonna meet their maker one of these days. One of these days and no amount of guns, knives, bullying and God knows what else will count. They will stand there all alone and then they truly will know what it means when one says: "The Wrath of God."

On a Fox interview, Arthelle Neville said that a man raped, then killed, a 7-year-old girl. (Her cousin was in the Super Dome waiting to be rescued.) Immediately thereafter, several men beat the rapist/killer to death. Swift justice, but so sad that it happened
