No, it's not. With every video clip we see of mutants looting in New Orleans, and with every report we hear of helicopter and boat rescue operations shut down due to gunfire from these mutants, more and more Americans are going to realize that having the U.S. government rebuild New Orleans would be worse than having a white farmer buy a grain farm in Zimbabwe.
If this chaos and mayhem continues for another 24 hours, public sentiment for rebuilding New Orleans will be nonexistent. In fact, a majority of Americans outside Louisiana will probably be in favor of bulldozing the city to the ground with any remaining occupants still in it.
A few million cubic yards of gravel will quiet the riot considerably.
If all there was to New Orleans was these Rollerballesque losers... the better people mostly got out when the getting was good and those who are left are mostly cowering in attics. I think if, say, there was a tsnunami from Lake Michigan onto Chicago, we'd see something similar.
You see this is where everyone has it wrong. Just where do you think those a@@ holes are going to go? I say shoot the ones you see on sight and let the others drown or starve.
