LOL!! Not even sure that person had heard of it!
"This is wrong. I hope other shelters / families in the state can take these people."
Houston has several shelters set up. They're using the Astrodome only for those evacuees from the Superdome, but Houston's mayor said today that they have other accommodations for people who don't come on the buses.
Some "pastor" you are.
Thanks! (I don't currently have TV)
They had over 10,000 people each, for sure. Sorry I don't know better than that.
Cops in TX armed? You can take that to the bank!
I hope the authorities in Houston make sure the "refugees" are appropriately DISarmed...:-)
What are the names of the cities?
no need to assume. you know.
Maybe the problem is that we have too many politicians running the country and not enough leaders. All the politicians think about is their next election, their polls, their blowback, the press. It is hard to have a center, a place where you can make decisions, when you are "all about me" and the next election.
050831-N-1467R-024 Gulf of Mexico (Aug. 31, 2005) - A Landing Craft, Utility (LCU) assigned Assault Craft Unit Two (ACU-2), departs the well deck of the amphibious assault ship USS Bataan (LHD 5) bound for New Orleans. The LCU is loaded with sandbags, water, a small flat bottom boat, 300 lifejackets, a High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV) and enough supplies to last ten days as part of the relief efforts after Hurricane Katrina hit the Southern Gulf Coast States. Bataan's involvement in the humanitarian assistance operations is an effort led by the Department of Defense in conjunction with the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Bataan has been tasked to be the Maritime Disaster Relief Coordinator for the Navy's role in the relief efforts. U.S. Navy photo by Photographer's Mate Airman Pedro A. Rodriguez (RELEASED)
I noticed that too, AFPhys.
I'm not sure that the mayor can legal declare martial law. I think only the governor can. I'm not splitting hairs with you here - I actually believe it is as you say, which is just more sick and wrong.
Could you elaborate, please?

Oh, yeah... that is pretty certain.
I read jeffers' rant. As someone with experience in disaster planning I have many, many questions about what I have seen out of NO. I will reserve judgment though because much of my information is from the mainstream media which looks for every failure.
