Murder and mayhem in New Orleans' miserable shelter

You know all these folks that lived in the ghettos in NO are probably going to fall into that same lifestyle here. If they can't change the victim mindset, nothing will change and Texas has to deal with a suddenly expanded population of gangsters. Here they have a chance to start over and they're already standing around with their hands out , blaming and cursing the very people trying to rescue them!

Oh! Gottcha.

You are one ugly dude...but working for Satan. Fits you like a glove.
The end is coming...for you at least.

Get over yourself. Do you realize how stupid your "judgment" sounds?
Not even a bird falls from the sky without God knowing about it. Do you really think he'd miss a hurricane?

But as the masses lined up outside, . . .

Never trust anyone who uses the word 'masses' to refer to other people. The use of that word (including by such luminaries as Stalin and Castro) provides a singular insight into how the utterer of the word feels about his fellow man.

If a city has preplanned a facility as a shelter the preplanning should include food and water supplies. Obviously this city govt. doesnt know jacksht about planning for an emergency. I am sure there are federal govt books and pamphlets on how to properly set up such a shelter.Some of them probably written during WW2. Maybe the Governor and the Mayor cant read.

Check the guy I was responding to..."vvatcer"

He be gone.

Now get over your self-righteousness and tell me where I erred (not that I don't err all the time)...

But this time, tell me what is wrong...

[Sir Francis Dashwood]

of course they were animals. have you ever been to NO?

Yes, I have been there. Don't have much to argue with you about it neither. A lot of them think the voodoo thing is cute, too... It is not a place to bring children.

[auntyfemenist]

If these aren't true, too many true ones like it are. This question was asked a few posts back, but, have you ever been to New Orleans? It was full of savages before this. Now they are all concentrated in the convention center murdering children.

[Libertarian444]

What's being done to filter out the criminal elements before they ship them up here to Texas?

Absolutely nothing. And you can bet they won't be willing to stay put in shelters; eventually they'll end up on your streets.

This will be the standard reply I'd present to all presstitutes and others who carry the water (make excuses for DUmocrats) when the subject is to blame Bush for all:

The nanny state/welfare mentality - it's always someone else's job. What part of MANDITORY EVACUATION do these fools in the media not get? The people on the coast were warned, told to leave, and chose to stick it out thereby endangered themselves and their families. That would be considered neglect when parents put their children in danger.

The Governor and Mayor's extreme ineptitude is what the bozos in the lame-steam media should be focused on. It was their job to prepare their constituents, NOT the federal government. There was ample time to prepare, and most responsible adults took to the road for safety. Yet all that was offered on the state level was another poor evacuation plan from the dimwit dimocrats. Either using "one way out" stuck in traffic or holing up in the dome, what choices!

Before the storm, they could have used all the school & city busses to evacuate those who couldn't make it on their own to higher ground further inland. But they chose weakness in the face of real danger instead.

After the storm, all resources were put at their disposal, yet they delayed making the request as well as delayed the delivery when aid arrived. Martial Law was declared and yet they still sat on thier hands allowing lawlessness to erupt. Neither can handle their jobs, yet refuse to step aside and allow someone else to handle it.

If President Bush hadn't announced the evacuation order, there would be more loss and suffering, mainly due to the clueless Democrats who failed to do anything - who, by the way, have been in charge of that state long before Bush ran for office.

When you have your hand extended, you shouldn't b!tch about getting aid when you were told to prepare for 3-5 days of food and water. When it comes to your family's safety, waiting on government to solve your problems is no better than waiting on a welfare check instead of getting off your arse and finding work.

But I guess wading around in sewage and griping about it is a much more pleasing alternative if you always pull the "D" lever when it's time to elect leadership. The failure of a democrat-led state is why the media is out in force trying to point fingers at Bush, when they all know the reality of the situation...their own failures cause many more to die than would have if they hadn't been slow to react.

Don't tell me this nation isn't hurtling toward civil war. The intractable, irresistable and purely hate-filled Evil impulse that resulted in this article guarantees it. My self, I'm convinced (What with the lawlesness in NO as well) it's gun purchase time. I'm looking at the Springfield M1A.

All of America is watching this story, but they don't see the eeeeevil president Bush hurling the hurricane at these people. They see how the people down South are reacting more than anything. This is what they'll remember.
Give the American people some credit. The majority isn't that stupid. They know left wing hate speech when they hear it. They know Bush had nothing to do with it, and if Jeb Bush or Rudy Guliani were in charge of the states down there, it'd all be wrapped up by now.

Is it from now on going to be the federal governments responsibility to evacuate the inner city of every city threatened by a hurricane in the gulf?

Posting this for those who didn't see it earlier -- note the date was last Sunday:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was Bush that asked the Gov and Mayor to order a mandatory evacuation, NOT their idea at all.

Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco said that it was President Bush that had called and urged the state to order the evacuation.

[BohDaThone]

people were NOT released from jails. There were ample unjailed criminals for the looting. The prisoners were moved, under guard. The pictures you saw of prisoners on an overpass were distinct from the ones of ordinary folks on an overpass and wandering off.

[justkillingtime]

wait a minute..before I read any further..just what exactly is the U.S National Guard??????

[Dark Skies]

Are you God's man...are you filled with the Holy Spirit? If so, don't you think you need to communicate with me regarding your post? You might even want to seek humility.

I seek humility all the time...and it isn't hard to find.

[i_dont_chat]

Thanks for clearing that up. That seemed too crazy to be true.

[kublia khan]

I've noticed that trend myself

[Sir Francis Dashwood]

There is no excuse for that at all. Anyone connected with the city government, should be jailed...
