Don't forget there are two buildings on fire where Harrigan is....no water to put the fires out..
AND, there supposedly is two major hotels really close to those fires...
He's probably struck by the resemblance. It's gotta be shocking to a guy who thought of America as the safest place in the world. He's probably been to NO many times, and had fun there. To see these jackals on the street is no doubt a very rude wake-up call.
True, but they got a handle on it quickly in Mississippi; much more quickly (IMHO) than the mere scale would suggest.
You and I seem to have grasped the concept (we aren't alone on FR, anyway) of the Principle of Subsidiarity.
The FIRST RESPONSE must come from the local Gummint--then the State--and finally, the Feds.
But unless the local and state folks have operable plans and some idea of what's going on, there's no way the Feds can be too helpful.
Not sure I follow. Who is Harrigan? What is the screen?
Harrigan has a death wish. He may acheive this soon.
On the hotels... which ones? I heard "warehouse" district but it's been so damned long since I've been there. Isn't that adjacent to the Quarter, along the river?
We get it! CNN HATES George Bush. Certain Bill Schneider, Paula Zahn, Wolf Blitzer, and that arrogant jerk who does your financial shows who has been spouting off to Wolf all week.
George Bush didn't cause this hurricane, not did he create the gangs of hoodlums who have held New Orleans hostage since Monday evening.
These poor, uneducated people and these thugs were not created by George Bush. To the best of my knowledge Louisiana is and has forever been a Democratic State -- you know, one of YOUR states.
If anything this is an indictment of the Socialist System that you think SHOULD drive this nation; but if you want to blame someone, blame the real problem, the gangsta's, the rap generation.
These are people who will and have raped a four year old child. Not created by George Bush, created by 140+ years of people being forced to live in poverty and under the thumb of the democratic system and beaten down until they have no self-respect and think the world owes them a living.
spectre, as well as some other FReepers, have grown up noticeably on these threads, as they have come to reassess the position.
The government needs to step in and grant them immunity from any kind of lawsuit.
Correct. These people can go run and do nasty things to the looters and the National Guard can disclaim all responsibility....
Thank you! Couldn't agree more.
Hey, JJ is getting CREDIT for the buses to take people out of the dome.
Thank you for those appropriate biblical passages.
I am in the weirdest state.
Seeing this hideous disaster and reading posts about the beginning attempted destruction of our president.
It is beyond sadness, this political hate fest, I don't have words for it. All while seeing what is happening in NO.
I thought things could not get worse in this country with the death fight of the politcal parties. But I think they will.
This is going to tear this country all to pieces. And a million or more people are homeless and destitute and wandering, most in a state of shock.
All the big-time CEO's simply have their shareholders make the donations through the Company rather than mak8ing personal contributions.
Besides, it's damned expensive to send all the children to Yale, Brown, and Hahvahd
Do you think the quote was fabricated, or are you just in a state of denial?
The resupply convoy (cross-loaded onto military trucks because they're the only ones that can get through the floodwaters) now rolling into the Superdome and toward the Convention Center. The buses are back to the Superdome as well for another trip.
That is because your neighbors are civilized Americans and they live in a state with a proper government. Clearly, neither exists in large parts of New Orleans. The guy on Fox right now is explaining how order is being maintained in Biloxi. The police are actually running the show. What a concept. Now don't get me wrong, the police officers that are still on the job in New Orleans are heroes. But the officers and leaders that abandoned that city are criminal.
We truly are seeing the best and the worst humanity has to offer....unfortunately it takes only a little bit of the worst to breed the chaos we've seen in NOLA....
