New Orleans police officer shouting into a bullhorn: " . . . We moved 30,000 out of the Superdome and we can get you out of here."

What does he mean "we"? Nothing happened until the National Guard took charge.

Air Force SSgt. Walter Adkins stands guard on Canal Street in in the flooded city of New Orleans on Friday, Sept. 2, 2005. A huge military presence has arrived in the city, restoring order and bringing with them food and water to feed the thousands of victims of Hurricane Katrina.

Would this be ANG? Or regular duty AF?

NOPD orders fuel for generator at THEIR HEADQUARTERS and do not KNOW THE ADDRESS (per scanner) . . .

This is what our National Guardsmen are trying to work with!




I can confirm this as well by the scanner traffic.

Additionally, the National Guard asks when the State of LA is going to assist with Mortuary Affairs to deal with the bodies in the streets.

If the school administrators have any brains (debatable lol) they could set up special testing for those whose records were lost.

They may not be at regular headquarters. I thought police headquaters was on Rampart next to the shrine of St. Jude. Or was that just the precinct station?

Tulane & Broad had the jail, and the parish court when I lived there last....but it's been a long time.

Did anyone hear that idiot on MSNBC - president of National Urban League and former mayor of New Orleans?

Oh, yeah … sigh.

Marc Morial. Blech.

His performance was completely *despicable*. Now we can see where Ray Nagin got his talking points from. "Not me! Not me! I'm only the Mayor! I'm not responsible for my people!"

Man this must be a wake up call in our great nation. After this, WHICH ONE OF US would want to live any longer or any closer, near a major US metropolitan area with similiar criminal demographics to New Orleans?? (3 miles away? 5 miles away? 10 miles away? Knowing that with a national emergency, terrorist attack, or pandemic, those homes and businesses could be overrun by the lawless hoardes, and that help would not be on the way to do ineptness by Democrat officials locally, or political correctness.

Man, I'd get out. Far far away. And I'd buy even more guns in the process.

This is what I like to hear.

Re DEVASTATING DAMAGE EXPECTED . . .

Yep, and about 500 FReepers thought one of us had sat down and typed a hoax post.
I think some called for the banning of whoever it was that first posted that NWS flash bulletin...

Moral of story: we got our share of knotheads here, too.

Would you clarify this? How much of what you posted is what Lou Dobbs said? Thanks!

I remember reading that...and thinking how brave the forecaster was to say it point blank.

THIS GIRL NEEDS TO BE A FREEPER!!!!!

Hayley Brown, right, offers a counter-protest as she stands next to strking Boeing Co. workers Friday, Sept. 2, 2005 at the company's assemby plant in Everett, Wash. Brown, who says her two non-union parents both work for Boeing and were at work Friday, feels that the strike, which began at midnight Friday, will hurt the economy and possibly her parents, and that it is more important to remember the victims of Hurricane Katrina than to strike against Boeing.

I'm assuming "retiress" means "retirees," not those recent looters/deserters.
