The situation in NO is disgusting. The politicians didn't do anything to get people out of the city soon enough. They were worried about getting sued or losing votes from another possible near miss. Now they don't want to stop the looting, no, the pillaging of New Orleans. Why even bother fixing the levees? These are the residents of this city. With this behaviour, the city needs to be buried, not rebuilt. The whole place is turning into Mogadishu and the elected officials are doing everything they can let it happen. And I thought Detroit was going to be the first city-turned-thrid-world-cess-pool.
Why fix the city? Because these vermin are not "the city." They are from the slums of the city--and I might add, all cities have slums, and the types of people now running amuck in New Orleans. Just be thankful YOU haven't had a disaster, else you'd be fighting YOUR version of this outrage. Then, just to top things off, you'd have to be fighting idiots like people on Free Republic who (a) insist the looting should be allowed since they are "suffering" and (b) want to bulldoze the city down because of the very few who are rotten to the core.
Let it rott!!!!
We have the same people in the "projects" in our town too. It's not just limited to N. O., I can assure you.
Liberals say these people can't afford food, rent, medical care, etc. but they can sure as hell afford cell phones and pagers . They know all the police codes so they can ambush them too.
Wait until you have a few of these THUGS show up in your driveway one day demanding drugs, money, your car, etc. Or have them form a "human chain" across a street to ambush you. The whole damn family is part of their tactics in our area of the "projects". NO ONE with a brain cell left will enter our "projects".
They have been TAUGHT FOR YEARS they are VICTIMS of the "evil, rich, white man"!(you don't even have to be white to fit that description either). And it doesn't matter how much the "evil, rich, white man" GIVES them, YOU are still their ENEMY. If you don't believe that you should hear some of their conversations about "CRACKERS" and "OREOS".
These are not black people these are THUGS. They hate "black people who try to be white" (OREOS) just as much as they hate "CRACKERS".
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?
At this point, why not just build a wall around NO and use it as a new Federal Penitentiary? That would save a lot of cash, IMO.
