They had run out. READ THE EYEWITNESS REPORTS. A cop trapped in the Convention Center said people were DYING of DEHYDRATION.

According to interviews I saw from the Superdome in that time frame they had water but were having sanitation problems.

I vividly remember an interview I saw on Thursday evening with a woman who was complaining that there was only water to drink and that the MREs tasted bad and weren't "proper" food.

Plus, I know how the media and the victim industry love to exaggerate.

Quite frankly, I believe that if anyone died of dehydration in the Superdome, they actually died of neglect, because such people were probably elderly people who could not walk and whose need for help was ignored by those around them.

I would also suspect that there were thugs hoarding food and water that was supposed to be distributed equitably.

And the food and water ran out. Once again, that's from a Louisiana cop who was THERE.

And it would have helped sanitation issues if people COULD HAVE FRIGGIN' LEFT.

This is the Wash Times. Hardly the typical MSM outlet.

But nice try.
