Actually what i have said several times and will only repeat one more time. When you dont have any money, a vehicle, or anywhere else to go. What are you supposed to do?

Answer that question and this whole crisis would have been averted.

I dunno.... I saw one guy floating a tub full of stolen beer and whiskey down the street. I guess that's what I'd do if I was the total loser you described.

"When you dont have any money, a vehicle, or anywhere else to go. What are you supposed to do? Answer that question and this whole crisis would have been averted."

Not true. The crisis itself is a combination of local mismanagement of levy and educational funds for the past several decades combined with Mother Nature and capped off by roughly a third of the able-bodied population that **chose** to remain in place when they had been ordered to evacuate.

Thus, contrary to your inane claim, answering your "one question" would not have averted this crisis.

...And where do you go and how do you get there? You walk **away** from the disaster area to any area of civilization that is connected to our infrastructure grid (e.g. food, water, sanitation, electricity, medicine, roads, phones, law/order, etc.).

Remaining in a lawless disaster area without food/water is as idiotic as "riding out a storm" when you've been given days of advance notice to evacuate. It's repeating your earlier mistake, writ large.

Likewise, shooting at the rescue helicopters and boats that are being sent to aid your evacuation is a pretty large mistake, too.

What are you supposed to do?

You use the tools god gave you. Your legs and feet. You do realize that we existed as a species for thousands of years before cars and money were invented. I survived near Los Angeles for a number of years without a car. Went through many pairs of shoes though.

give em all 40 acres and a mule and say, "Thats IT!! We're even" Now STFU!

The reason you see those shacks and hoards of poor blacks is because they get fed promises by the latest "Dr." preaching from their local church pulpit to support the latest crook running for State Senate, mayor, councilman, ... whatever. Who gives them empty promises in return for a path to Easy Street.

If you all want a good laugh as to what ignorance and corruption has done to Augusta, GA. I invite you to do a Google Search for "Charles Walker". He is a shining example of Liberalism gone bad.

This "pillar of society" even supported his son to run for Congress, and the Dims actually propped him up as a candidate! Well, "Champ Walker" (the son) has as much intelligence as a freshly squeezed turd.

Please bookmark our weekly paper, the Metro Spirit (every Thursday), and read the "Insider" opinion column. You may appreciate your own local government.

Walk!

Sheesh. It's slow, but it's free.

Plenty of immigrants have come to this country with nothing but the clothes on their backs and a dream. Somehow, many have made it. What I am seeing in NO is the product of liberal welfare policies that won't make anyone take responsibility for their lives. Many of these public assistance lifers are just standing there waiting for a handout. I'd be damned before I would stand on an overpass for five days waiting on government aid.

(1) There was no one in N.O. who was unable to scrape up $40 for a bus to Baton Rouge. Even the homeless people in N.O. when I was there seemed to be perfectly capable of buying bottles of liquor and sixpacks of beer. If you have enough money for hightops or gold fronts, you have enough money for a bus ticket.

(2) If you have no car, no place to go and little money, take a bus out of town and go to a homeless shelter.

You DO NOT steal televisions, DVD's, etc. I am convinced that some of these people stayed in NO just for this chance to steal and wreck havoc on the other citizens.
