In the middle of a hurricane, when wind is howling and storm waters are rising, and it's NOISY, someone went out and blew a levee to protect an area of the city that didn't need protecting against floods cause it was high enough not to to get serious flooding?

Blowing up a levee is not an easy job. Blowing it up during a hurricane wouldn't be easy.

The word went out about that levee breech at least by 8:30 in the morning of the storm, cause a blogger who was live blogging mentions it at this time...

Yep, I read about that and I also saw the men on TV telling about first hearing the noise and then seeing the barge that crashed through the WALL, causing the flooding.

The cement wall that was a recent construction!!

You guys are both dolts. The answer is clear to anyone with any brains at all: The barge was racist!

I have conclusive proof that that barge belonged to the KKK and the NRA and the CIA and had attended racial identity meetings in Idaho, and was employed by Halliburton on the day it breached the levee.

Get a clue!!!
