Yes they were avoidable. There were THOUSANDS of able bodied men in that dome that could have protected the women and the weak. They could have BUT they were too busy shopping downtown of tearing the seats out.

Tonight on the San Antonio news they had a Texas nurse who was stuck in the River something Mall in NO.

She and seventy five other people banded together, and went up to the food court. They organized a bathroom area with plastic buckets, an area for the ill where she helped as the medical person. They prepared food to eat. I was impressed by her story.

She said there was looting, and sexual assaults going on in the lower level. They could hear the women screaming. It was quite horrific. But the seventy five people who had banded together were safe until their rescue after five days.
