Yeah... like a freight train of empty box cars.

You know, they had buses for the public schools left in a lot to flood. They could have loaded them up and moved them out.

Let's never forget the fallacy of government leadership in the Big Easy.
Ultimately this is a man made disaster just waiting for nature to provide a tipping point.
Where were the pumps, the levees, the communications or the transportation?
Even today, National Guard trucks driving around with no supplies, blowing past people in need of transport.
Every crapweasel NO and LA politician needs to be brought to trial and impeached when this thing is over.
What we are seeing is criminal.......
