I hate to see the bad PR for the USA. On the other hand, I hope Louisiana's tourist industry wakes up and puts extreme pressure on the authorities to crack down on crime. New Orleans has been a crime problem for years.

"New Orleans has been a crime problem for years."

Bush's fault

[SkyPilot]

What do you mean by "our" Women? White? I object to this.

[thoughtomator]

I don't think Louisiana has a tourist industry any more, or will have one for a long time, after this disaster.

"In that place, 98 percent of the people were bad"

and 100% of those are perpetually on the government teat.

[SkyPilot]

Let me tell you something. I am directly involved in this effort. We have coordinated the movement of the 82nd Airborne into Louis Armstrong Airport, and the Marines into Stennis and Gulfport. I ain't a spectator in this.

Mr Hopes, 32, said: "That was the worst place in the universe. Ninety-eight per cent of the people around the world are good. In that place, 98 per cent of the people were bad.

This is what mollycoddling criminals for 50 years does for you.

[Archidamus]

"In that place, 98 per cent of the people were bad."

The wonders of multiculturalism.

[Names Ash Housewares]

They have seen the worst. Now hopefully they will see the best.

[Hilltop]

Bad PR? That is what concerns you? I have not the words.

President Bush is being slowly crucified and is to blame for the actions of these animals that preyed upon the weak, the foreign, the white,the innocent blacks, the asians and others?

You view this horrific event through the prism of the tourist industry and "crime?"

Screw the PR and ponder this story.

[mmercier]

Women in the US should be proficient in the use of small arms and packing at all times.

Too bad for the Aussies that they are not to be trusted with such devices.

Even worse for their tourists stuck in the mud here.

[muawiyah]

Irrespective of what it was "really like" in the Dome, this particular reporter seems quite intent on writing "Heart of Darkness" into the experience.

[cmsgop]

Just amazingly Bad, so glad they got out ok.

[FlingWingFlyer]

I think we'll be okay after the race-baiting DemocRATS and their toadies in the "media" brand these Aussies as "racists."

[Michael Goldsberry]

Will you be going to Mardi Gras?

[rdcorso]

It's a real shame to see people from other countries having to fear for their lives during a natural disaster in America.I know for a fact that if this kind of storm hit my community there wouldn't have been any scenes like we saw in NO.There might have been a handful of idiots but they would have been handled by the other 99% who consider helping a neighbor as a noble thing.In NO you had 90% scumbag criminal and 10% good citizen which are terrible odds.

"Everyone brought their drugs, they brought guns, they brought knives. Soldiers were shot.

Last Sunday when all those thousands were queued up at the Superdome, it looked as though the people coming in were being thoroughly searched. I guess that wasn't the case after all.

Anyway, I remember FoxNews interviewing two tourists, one from Australia and one from England. They were very upbeat and optimistic about how things were going to go once they got inside. I remember thinking at the time that these were "babes in the woods". NO way would I have gone into that dome.

"The gangs . . . knew where we were. If the lights had gone out we would have been in deep trouble."

If the Leftists should succeed with their lunatic agenda, the lights would go out all over the world, and everyone would be in deep trouble; the hellhole would be global.

Throwing the Democrats out of office and reversing the Leftist/Marxist/Democrat agenda must be the single most important concern of the American people.

[quantim]

Just be happy the Great Lakes are level and Detroit isn't flooded.

[BadAndy]

"Ninety-eight per cent of the people around the world are good. In that place, 98 per cent of the people were bad. "

That sounds like a racial comment since 98% of the folks in there were black. Just a coincidence I'm sure.

[TheForceOfOne]

These thugs represent the core of most liberal cities and the rot within it. Like a magnet the social handouts attract the worst of the worst.

The swinging prison doors only allow the same thugs to commit many crimes before they manage to spend there lives in jail where they belong. Liberal ideology is destroying America.

Make New Orleans the new city of new America with no handouts and strict law enforcement and watch it explode with Capitalism as the greatest city in America.
