That's the big question. Corpses who have been in the elements a long time are not going to look well-groomed and well-dressed. This guy is a 'Rat shill, nothing more.

this story is a little different from the "nothing here" move on story making all the other news headlines today. I wonder when the facts will come out?

"He was surprised by the number of homicides people with gunshot wounds to their heads and backs."
Old and weak people could also be murdered by drowning them. Also, wasn't there a report of several bodies found in a hospital who appear to have been beaten to death with brass knuckles?

I just read that article about the lack of dead at the superdome (and convention center) in my local rag. I imagine numerous pychological papers will be done on that. Why/how can there be so many people telling stories of "We had to walk over countless bodies of dead people". Not even a second-hand statement. Although the sheriff now admits that some of the things he had said (based on second-hand stories) were "not accurate".

I wonder if it would be safe to say that a large number of these could be classified as 'former looters'. Unfortunately, many of them could have been "lootees".

I wonder too if some of the of homicide victims were killed before the storm and the flooding just exposed their bodies? Just a thought. I would want to know if any of the homicide victims had been listed as missing persons before the storm came through.

So basically the news reports coming out now are trying to turn the story in a better light so that they can't be accused of racism?? I'm confused. Either the first hand accounts are true, or they aren't?

no it wouldn't be safe to say. folks in other areas have already used the white vigilante line.

What happened in New Orleans showed America what people are really like in the American inner cities. Things got this bad thanks to long decades of bad governance by the liberals.
Too many Americans didn't know or didn't want to know the truth in this regards. Heck, consider Celine Dion's foolish pronouncements. She is exhibit A of how a clueless liberal fails to see the damage liberalism has done to society.
Maybe some in the media may think that we'll all be better off if we forget. Otherwise, liberals could be booted out of office all across the nation.

Im not sure how many died at the SD and CC, from day one the stories have conflicted. Its probably somewhere between a tea party hug fest and an unforgetable living hell.
I will certainly never go to a group shelter.
In the end what concerns me most in Texas is the sex offenders,criminals, and even welfare leeches that got a free bus ride to my state. Not that they all were.

Do you know, or are you just supposing (not that there's anything wrong with supposing, but I'd really like to know how they can tell.)

The machete & knife wounds will be harder to identify.
