Yes, I had a problem hearing that also, after he was rescued. At least he didn't become a looter (we hope)...
The main tranmission lines into the city are down....and the Nuclear Plant was shut down...etc. etc. etc.
Please don't flame me for asking, but have you noticed that many of these refugees from water filled NO are wearing what appears to be clean clothes?
I am sure you can count on the load balancing. The local nightly news in Central Illinois had a segment about a couple's 12 family members that are going to seek shelter here. I would venture to guess Chicago will be seeing some rather substantial inflows.
Shepherd Smih and Anderson Cooper need to be REMOVED physically.
why should the truth be sanitized? like 9/11 was sanitized by not showing the people jumping from the towers. this caller OReilly just had on, is he lying? OK, I will admit that focusing only on the bad news and not mentioning the good news - is much like the media's coverage of iraq. but I still want to hear these stories.
Gangstas best haul ass...
thanks dad
Very true; I remember when I lived in Southern CA, I had a very large emergency preparedness kit....consisting of water, blankets, medicinals, canned goods, flashlights, etc., in preparation for earthquake survival. I'm sure if I lived in a flood prone/hurricane area...I'd have taken those supplies with me and left....but, there will always be those who are unable to leave...for various reasons.
bump to Howlin's post and "In the outlying areas, help IS there. The people are NOT rioting; the people are NOT standing around waiting for somebody to help them; they are helping each other and working together; they are THANKFUL to be alive and thankful for the help they are getting."
bump to your 13 threads.
OK, even if I try to understand the looters' motivation... how do they think they are going to get this stuff out of the city? There will be no water or food left once they evacuate the citizenry. Doubt they let anyone on a bus carrying a plasma TV.
Just saw on one of the News channels Detroit offer to take basically everbody.
That's right. Next time you want to complain about something just remember those in this nightmare . I don't mean you specifically I mean people in general.
stand in line;)
see post 404.
Will sometime just tell Shep to STFU...
He is a drama queen...I HATE this on national tv.
I totally agree with your post. Too many posters have been taking advantage of this tragedy to slam the victims and also politicians.
God bless and comfort the victims of this tragedy, ESPECIALLY those of the least means. They are the needy. How we treat them, 'the least of His brothers', is what matters..
