Did you notice the series of photos from the Convention Center. Within five minutes he realized he needed to get out of NO. Was it really because he was white and all the others there were of another color, who knows. But the fact of the matter is, he came to the conclusion very early that it was not in his best interests to stay at the CC. He needed to get out and fast.

It is still baffling to me that the thousands of people stranded at the CC did not take any initiative of their own to do the same thing.

Great pictures no matter his politics.

"Was it really because he was white ..."

The photographer is actually Central American but that's just semantics. His '2 specks of salt in a sea of pepper' comment made it clear that he and his friend feared that they would not be made welcome at the CC. They were wise to beat feet out of there.

Another thing I'm sure of is that Truck #25 will be returned to its owner in good condition. I doubt the same can be said for any of the other vehicles the company left in the warehouse.
