Good! Can we arrest Mayor Nagin and Governor Bianco and Sen. Mary Landrieu, too?

[Qwackertoo]

Good~! Guess since they regulate and license the facilities they didn't want those 34 lawsuits coming against the state.

[SueRae]

If the owners can be charged, so should the public officials in charge of evacuation.

[jw777]

AMEN! ALL OF THEM should be investigated and tried for dereliction of duty.

[Conspiracy Guy]

My thoughts exactly

[madison10]

How can they arrest the nursing home operators without charging Nagin, Blanco, et al for negligent homicide...or is that why Nagin went to Texas, to avoid arrest?

[atomicpossum]

So they DID have busses?

[numberonepal]

Between death and involuntary manslaughter - I'd take the manslaughter charges.

I called this one back here:

"Wow - nursing home admin is culpable here and disgusting...sounds like involuntary manslaughter. She should be thrown in jail pronto..."

[Nachum]

Sounds like a gubment oh-fissial passing the blame...

[digger48]

Was this where Bawl-Baby Broussard's friends Mamma kept phoning in from the Great Beyond?

[Sofa King]

Refused to use available busses? Gee, where have I heard that before....

[GovernmentShrinker]

Um, who gave them the option of "declining the offer"? It was a MANDATORY evacuation order.

The Live Oak trees may be dead, or may be dying but I suppose they are plenty strong enough branches for a rope and the dangling guilty.

We have come to rely on those that are not worthy of our trust, I think a message needs to be sent that we are not amused. I also think that a public, non "lawyer" response will also give lawyers a wakeup call, the BS has to stop

I wonder how many thousands of people across the country had that same reaction to this story? I know I did, although I only thought of the governor and mayor.

Accountability has begun. This has got to scare the hell out of the LA Democrat political machine.

I wouldn't be surprised if some of these LA Democrats escape to Tora Bora and Michael Moore makes a movie showing how Bush was asleep at the wheel when it happened. I hope we are monitoring these people closely so they can't slip away.

Mable Mangano and Salvador Mangano Sr. declined an offer from authorities of buses to evacuate the residents of their facility, the state said.

I'd love to know which authority offered to evacuate the residents on buses.

Nursing home update ping

Just thought y'all might be interested.

Nope! Sovereign immunity.

[xrhopsiomega]

I've heard conflicting reports. Did they die from the actual storm surge, or from levee break?

A civil liability shield will be created by declaring New Orleans bankrupt. However, bankruptcy won't do a thing to shield the mayor from criminal charges.
