I say level it--it is below sea level anyway. Screw that place.
I hear 'ya, but I wouldn't punish the good for the sins of the bad. Shoot the looters and rebuild.

I saw a clip of the super dome and the folk out there, STILL in the thousands....WHAT GIVES

At a walking/wading speed of, let's say, 3 mph, those people could easily have walked out of the city by now. They really are a bunch of selfish types that believe they will be looked after by someone else and thay don't have to do a thing for themselves. A subset of this cultural sewer believes they can do whatever they want ang get whatever they want through violence and intimidation. I cannot use the expressions and words that are appropriate because I don't want to get banned from this forum.

FOX News just reported one of their reporters had to leave a NO hotel because the police and staff there said it was unsafe to stay.

The reporter was given a blue light to use for their TV van. However, when driving down the dark street to the dome they were harrassed by gunmen.

A white rider van with armed African-Americans pulled up and said "F the police" and they next heard a gun shot.

These animals won't stop until New Orleans, or what is left of it, is burned to the ground.

Kudos...somebody needed to say it.

And their race is relevant how?

OMG. It's like a third world country down there. What kind of SICK FREAK would try and slow down the evacuation???

I feel disgusted and sad at the same time.

Oh, I agree with shooting the looters. But the poster was saying New Orleans should just be left to rot essentially, that it's not worth saving. It IS worth saving, but I confess to praying that these types will not be saved with it.

Shoot to kill!!

Absolutely no excuse for what is happening down there right now.

All of this is playing out before the entire world and we're looking mighty bad right now.

They MUST get a handle on this situation ASAP.

It was just stated on TV that there is no "Martial Law" provision in NO gubermint. Only a "State of Emergency".

Sounds like a distinction without a difference.

I think they're waiting to declare a SOE when the massive and smaller clusters of people are evacuated. Otherwise there may be gunfights erupting all over and innocents will be trapped in the crosshairs.

After the major evacuations, there should be orders to shoot to kill anyone brandishing weapons other than LE.

The politicians didn't do anything to get people out of the city soon enough.

Based on what is now happening in New Orleans, I can honestly say I'm glad they didn't get everyone out of the city soon enough. Can you imagine if those mutants had found their way to a Red Cross shelter somewhere?

Yeah, it would certainly take a klansman to think this was bad.

No, but it would take a klansman to decide the problem is the "coddling of minorities."

You left out: Bushes fault the the levees were not plugged. I heard that one last night on MSM: Maybe he should have just ordered the Corps of Engineers to have stopped the hurricane.

I think they're laying low. I even see one or two of them on this thread, singing a slightly different tune. One is still saying it's ok to loot, however.
