I am talking about before the storm for those who refuse to read.
Then your comments don't make a whole lot of sense. Since this story is about the bridge being blocked AFTER the storm to prevent looting, and you said, "I rather have another city pillaged than thousands dead," if you are not talking about letting folks into Gretna to loot after the storm, you must be suggesting that looters should have been bused into Gretna BEFORE the storm hit.
Of course, if folks had been bused from the East Bank to the West Bank before the storms, and the levees on the West Bank had failed, you folks would be second guessing that decision as well.
