During the 1989 California earthquake, when the 880 freeway collapsed in Oakland, the gang bangers and drug dealers became the heroes and recuers. Too bad the same thing is not happening in NO.

I remember that. It was so good. HOWEVER, it was the Liberals and LIBERAL ACTIVISTS who went on a rampage threatening to shut down the OAKLAND/BAY BRIDGE to be in "SOLIDARITY" with those looting and rioting in LA. They amassed at the Oakland side of the bridge, and actually tried to block the bridge. Yeah.. "peaceful protest" style...

Nope. There was looting then, too - the media did'nt cover it.

My then best friend's girlfriend trained EMTs - they were some of the first ones the scene, and saw it first-hand - people werecrawling in between the fallen decks to get to the cars.

There was also looting in the Berkeley fire, as the houses burned.

What's happening in NO could very easily happen in Oakland, especially east Oakland. I just moved out of that sh*thole. Trust me. They'd call it 'Gettin' paid", and woe to anyone that stands in their way.
