I haven't read the whole thread. Has anything been said about Jeff Goldblatt, Fox reporter, who was covering the story from inside N.O., on Canal street? When he was on the air last night, he mentioned the roaming gangs. Today there was no report from him from anywhere.
Anyone know anything?
"Paula Zahn carrying water for the DNC this evening as usual..."
She has to suck up a lot to make up for Anderson Cooper's grilling Mary Landrieu.
as long as governor Blanco issues the order to do it, its fine with me.
LOL where is RandallFlag when we need him eh? (disclaimer: we have a FReeper by that name)
Thanks for the ping
Sorry, no, a poor guy who lost his house, quitting the fishing business, and is moving back to Texas.
Fox pulled Humes show?!?!? What!!!!!!!!!!!! He's the only one worth watching on there anymore!
I didn't deny there were bad ones in there. I said not to condemn everyone there because of them. The ones they showed are decent human beings who are helping each other out as best they can while watching their backs.
This is AT LEAST a factor of ten worse than the situation after all of those hurricanes, at least in N.O.
Many of these people are stranded in the middle of a huge cesspool, with no way to depart the area, with zero electricity, food ten feet underwater, and death all around them.
If my specualtion is accurate (that FEMA authority is the source of commanderring their convoy), the choice is betweenn letting them and the hotel manage their own evacuation, or submitting to the duly constituted authorities.
My vote is to let them handle it themselves, assuming there was a roadway out - FEMA should be biased to get people out of the city, not trying to hold 'em in.
I owe you an apology from the last thread. Another FReeper was kind enough to point out the sarcasm tag that accompanied your photo of the President's visit commemorate V-J Day, which I overlooked in my haste to catch up on recent events. I'm sorry.
If they can lift 5000 to 20000 sand bags they can try. That and roadway concrete barriers are what they are using to plug the breaches.
MRE's...are better than canned food.
I know there's a LOT of sensationalism on the cables right now...but I'm really beginning to wonder ..where are the buses?
Thanks for the article about Memphis. We are expecting 20k to 30k more. They are all welcome. An aside, the Bishop for the Diocese of Memphis, Terry J. Steib, was in Bay St. Louis when all hell broke loose. He, along with several other bishops, were trapped at Divine World Seminary until yesterday. They got to Baton Rouge and are trying to get a flight out. My wife works at the diocesan office and told me he called and told them that there is no way to convey in words how bad it is. The photos and video is hard enough to view. There is no way to imagine what those poor souls are going through.
Prayers and support to those that was in harms way.
Rita Cosby is just bubbling with excitement on MSNBC!
That is none of your Business. I am through babysitting your butt. This is a thread about really important human matters. Freepers are having a hard time looking at this horror, and there are ways we have here of helping each other cope. You are not helping.
However, to summarily write-off the complete and utter devastation that occurred to residents of Mississippi and Alabama is tunnel vision, and frankly, an insult.
I agree. they are gang lords running the streets and the centers. they must be dealt with.
yer welcome
