If you don't believe there was hysteria and people scared to death in the Superdome you haven't been reading the right articles.
I certainly don't doubt some people were scared but the article you provided talked about soldiers being shot!!! First I've heard of it. Is the media part of the conspiracy to cover this up?
It also talks about women being threatened with rape (which would certainly be frightening) but says nothing about these people being raped or seeing a rape.
The article also says 98 percent of the people in the Superdome were bad people. From everything I've read that's complete and pure bull. They may have been poor and desperate and angry and most definitely not the sort of folks these Aussie tourists -- who I assume were probably fairly well off -- are used to hanging around with, but 98 percent were not "bad."
As I said before, the article is full of baseless hysteria.
