And now people are apparently leaving the Superdome and taking their chances in the streets of NO. Between those two choices what would you take. I guess you might think it was safer on the streets of NO. But it sounds like even the police are giving up.

The Governor said much earlier this afternoon that there were only 2400 left at the SuperDome. Was she wrong in those figures?

The police have been going into NDP (night defensive positions) for at least two days now, with significant firefights for control of their positions, but the MSM is just now picking it up. As I see it, the police have been essentially abandoned by their command structure, some officers going 24 hours without communication from higher authority. They are doing what they can, doling out resources, including food and ammunition, accomplishing what is possible.

I said this morning that this will be resolved, win or lose, in 24 hours and it will. If the cops can hold the line through tonight, the Feds have till tomoroow to have enough ammo, rifles and warm bodies in there to stem the tide of rising violence. I don't think the cops will last another night after this one, if they last that long.
