Thugs and looters who commandeered a bus?

They look like people.... and little kids.

Chena, you are too kind. You try and sleep well tonight, and keep your prayers coming for our completely destitute fellow countrymen. He hears you clearly, I'm certain.

"So the Mayor and Governor have been lying about the numbers staying behind as well?"

Who knows at this point they could be lying, covering up clueless or just plain incompetent. Or they could be spot on in their estimations but damn if there is 250K still around that area I fear alot of them died already!

"I mean, the people in Houston have gone out of their way to offer hospitality."

With that, I fully agree. I think so highly of Texans and their "can do" abilities, perhaps I'm expecting more than was reasonable on the first day. :)

***A walking crime wave is about to hit the rest of this country.***

That is ABSOLUTELY true...

You'll notice the FENCE and armed guards around the AstroDome?

But why should a 'renegade' bus be turned away?

Because they are looters who stole a bus. Put them in jail.

I saw the looters stole a USPS truck to get their loot around the city.

But why should a 'renegade' bus be turned away? It's not like they parked under the Galleria with nefarious schemes...? If the bus has LA plates, they should be considered seeking asylum/refuge, even if they can't be accomodated at the 'dome.

I'm with ya on that, I think.... Though I want to know the story.

Probably a little of everything from the Mayor and Governor -- cannot fathom having such louzy leadership during a disaster before and after.

"I agree, that guy had obviously been through a highly, highly traumatic situation and was beyond exhausted . . ."

Well, yes. Hijacking a bus can probably be rather traumatic.

Did you notice how the guy rolled his eyes and evaded the reporter's questions about what it was like inside the SuperDome? I thought that was strange at the time. Now we know he COULDN'T answer because he wasn't even there!

"BTW The Road to the Super Dome that Shep was on went underwater before it got to the Super dome!"

Sigh. I suppose the buses that drove by him coming from the Superdome were actually amphibious submarines. I am beginning to understand why you find Shep's reporting today so riveting. You share his grasp of the obvious.

Excuse me? Some jumped off the bus and took off......good luck, Houston. Looks like you all just inherited some of NO's scum.
