I thought I read on here the other day though that the people who wrote this account were a couple of lefty union leaders in town for some convention or something.

Consider the source.

I will, but I also think this is consisent with the fact that no one left the Superdome on foot that we heard of.

The two are abject socialists and everything they wrote reads like a laundry list of DU and leftist/liberal talking points.

I did not buy their swill.

No

I remember the news channels reporting at the time that the bridge had been blocked by police.

Shep or Steve said that people were trying to walk out but were being turned back to the Superdome by the cops on the bridge.

I saw an interview of a couple of graying hippie types (white folks) today. There was a prominant red peace symbol on the wall, and they had peace symbols buttons on. (I was wondering wow - these guys must all stick together if they are having an interview from a friend's home that has a piece symbol on the wall. I guess it makes more sense if they were out of town and now back in their own home.)

They were saying how the sheriff kept them off the bridge and fired shots in the air. later after things had quieted down they asked the sheriff why they couldn't come over. He said something like "We don't want the superdome over here".

The bridge they showed on the tv map was to the south-southeast over the Mississippi from N.O. Wouldn't this take people closer to the ocena's coast and even further away from inland areas?
