I'm at my wit's end.
I don't know whether this is a racial case or not; I'm not going to go there.
However, this IS a case of a small town police turning people trying to evacuate away.
As far as I'm concerned, he is as culpable as the mayor and governor in the deaths of people in New Orleans.
It would have been an easy matter to permit buses to drive through the city on US 90 -- which is a limited access highway -- through Gretna (which ain't that big, mind you) on to the west.
US 90 (Westbank Expy & Airline Hwy) were not underwater; they could have been used by rescue vehicles which could/should have been dispatched once the mayor and governor knew the pumps would fail.
After all, Nagin had time to tell the networks that the city would flood to at least 12 feet deep; why didn't they have enough time to get people out of the Superdome and Convention Center?
And then to see people here defending this action -- after all, 'there was just the "dregs of society" left in New Orleans, best to let them stay there'...to die.
I'm disgusted, I'm amazed, I'm angry. I truly wonder what kind of people would allow other human beings to die like that.
And there are going to be some people here who will throw bricks at this statement and accuse me of being a closet liberal for saying these things...makes me wonder who the fanatics truly are, y'know'what I mean?
Unbelievable.
Reinforcements are always nearby. :)
