"The deliberate starvation and dehydration of those seeking shelter in the Superdome is an atrocity worthy of a war crime tribunal. It's the kind of inhumanity for which Nazi's were shot and hanged."

There were no logical answers for why the food and water wasn't there..It HAD to be deliberate.

Other than people shooting at those trying to bring it in. Or did you mean why it wasn't in a designated shelter area to begin with? The answer is that the 'Dome was a shelter of last resort, intended only to shelter from the wind and rain of the storm itself, not a refuge from the rising waters of a levee break. When the levees broke and the water started rising, they still had those buses, some of them just over a mile away, that could have been used to haul people out of there... assuming they didn't shoot at the buses.

Not staging food and water at the SuperDome wasn't deliberate - It was STUPID (typical from a democrat liberal bureaucrat) because the SuperDome/Convention Center WAS the city's evacuation place.

It was the CITY'S official and ONLY shelter.

(The CITY simply "forgot" to have food and water there when they declared it a "shelter" and told people to go to the Dome.)
