Astonishing Exclusive From Mississippi [hundreds if not thousands dead]
Paramedic Rescue Operation | 8-31-05 | My Favorite Headache

Posted on 08/30/2005 10:10:45 PM PDT by My Favorite Headache

It is with heavy heart I write this...

I have finally reconnected with my best friend who is a paramedic who was sent from Georgia 2 days ago to Gulf Port, Mississippi before the hurricane hit.

He just reached me within the last 10 mins via emergency cell phone to tell me he was alive.

Thousands of bodies have been discovered throughout Mississippi in Gulf Port, Waveland,Hancock County,Bay of St.Louis.

They are hanging in trees and they are pulling them out 30 at a time. Entire families found drowned in their homes and washing up on shore.

The stories he could tell me were brief. National Guard is on the scene and arresting anyone seen on the streets.

The numbers are staggering and what I have been told tonight will shake people to their foundation as the numbers will be coming out in the next 24-hours of just how many people have actually perished in these and 3 other beach communities.

More to follow....

Why, admin mod, would you listen to a bunch of ignorant whiners instead of to a loyal, responsible, dependable FReeper?

I would like to know this answer to this also?

When a long time freeper is banned and we ask why , as we can see no reason for it, I think we deserve an answer.

Are there new rules we haven't been told about?

Enlighten us please?

...that the ultimate toll will, indeed, be in the thousands.

I have to keep reminding myself that the first reports are often wrong.

This banning/or hopefully temporary suspension of MFH is unbelievable. Look at all these others articles corroborating what he posted.

Given that MFH has committed no banning offense that I can see, I think the silence from the mods is quite interesting.

Ahhhhhhhhhhh, yes, that fascinating issue.

As a shrink and a human being . . . how does one

'force,' facilitate, encourage, trigger, cause even one's self

to

--Love God more
--Trust God more?

Seems to me--particularly at some point and some level--even those to extremely high priorities are a work of Grace. Holy Spirit has to effectively change us within for such to occur. Yet, it's a cooperative adventure, a dance. We don't get much down that road sitting like a lump with our arm's folded daring God to MAKE us Love/Trust Him more.

At least, I never have. Even yearning, reaching desperately toward Him doesn't always seem to effect much very discernably in that direction very quickly.

Apparently, MFH is now back...whether he will actually post again here is another matter.

The fact that MFH's page is back up doesn't mean he has posting privileges. It may just mean a suspension instead of banning.

I certainly don't understand why MFH was slapped. Doesn't make sense to me as Fox has said throughout the day nearly everything the was originally posted at this threads beginning.

Breaking news is an FR tradition. But it also seems to be dangerous.

The post to which you responded got fried, but I can guess the gist, and use it as an excuse to launch into an abridged version of one of my favorite rants. I think it's almost old enough to shave by now. I've been online since about 1988, and the word "censorship" is the most overused and underunderstood term by such a wide margin that it can't see the second-place contender over the horizon.

If you try to peaceably express your opinon in a public place and the government prevents you from doing so, that is censorship. If you try to express your opinion using my licensed airwaves, printing presses or Web servers, that is editing.

I am a near-absolutist on the First Amendment, but like most interesting constitutional questions, this comes down to conflicting claims of rights -- and if I, as the owner of a printing press or Web site or broadcast station, am forced to repeat your message, that infringes on my right to express my own. You have every right to your voice and absolutely no right to mine.

I agree you can't just BLINDLY take someone's word from someone. I trust MFH from previous experience. And how many times have the MSM been on a cell phone with someone at a terrible scene

I agree. I don't 'know' MFH like some Freepers here do, but I know him from his posts.

Hugh is out of the loop.

I dunno...when I was slapped, I deserved it.

I do know that MFH is one heck of an amazing FReeper...I wrote quite a long post on MFH's behalf...about a favorite action taken, in a real face to face with her heinous, herself, and then realized that I had the wrong FReeper...and was thinking of Hillaryhaslovelylegs (had almost hit the post button, then decided to actually reread the thing(something I ususally avoid)...LOL...shows how deep I go!

At any rate...this has been an emotional thread...informative and very rock and roll, just like we like it here at FR!

So...MFH is a guy? Who knew.
