Most chilling are the reports now emerging about the lawlessness inside the Louisiana Superdome. One hurricane victim told of fellow evacuee who claimed that he had been forced to kill a man while inside the dome. The man was reportedly raping the body of a seven-year-old child he had just murdered.

Animals!

But the superitendent of the New Orleans police says there still are no proven cases of sexual assault.

One hurricane victim told of fellow evacuee[...]

Unidentified sources acting as confirmation. Got me if it is true or not, but I'm really getting sick of stories confirming unconfirmed reports using sources that can't be confirmed.

"Animals!"

Monsters. I would have killed this "thing" too.

I really don't buy alot of this. Doubtless there were crimes. Hell we all seen the looting on TV. But alot of this stuff just smacks of the making of urban legends.

I can here teens sitting around years from now telling the one about the cannibalism after the flood.

An immediate and quite serious complication for many displaced New Orleans residents is that they can’t seem to establish their social security identification. That would allow them to apply for assistance, or to enroll their children in public school systems where they’re now housing.

This is interesting. Apparently they don't know their social security number (or don't have one--could this be possible?) or birthdate, name and address (with which the number could be looked up). Eee gads. This is almost frightening in its implications.

"She was up to her neck in water for three days."

This is such an obvious lie. Nobody spends three days up to their neck in water unless they're bobbing in the ocean in a life jacket. Did she sleep up to her neck in water? Did she eat and drink up to her neck in water? Try treading water for three days without eating or drinking or sleeping. Or maybe a Carls Jr. Double-double and a Sprite floated by, along with the boots and bible. The credulousness of reporters is...well..increadable.

Animals!

Animals can't make up stories like this.

"Second, a water-logged Bible floated by. She read to herself during her miserable confinement."


Hmmmm ... Bibles don't normally float.

Also, how do you read when there is NO electricity? When the storm occurred, it wasn't sunny outside ... .

Another drama queen victim?
