It will also need to be "de-liced" and sprayed thoroughly with a good dose of Urine-gone. I'm sure the entire ship now reeks of urine and excrement!
Hmmmmm. I wonder if they're allowed to use their FEMA-supplied $2,000 debit cards in the ship's casino?
Good question. If this is a "bar bones charter" then it could cost quite a lot.
Hmmm. And, I was still worried about the brand new school they put some of "them" in ... you know, the one where "they" trashed the school, smashed all the brand new computers and ripped the urinals off the wall ...
I'm wondering how much the Fedgov will end up paying Carnival Cruise Lines for "damages" to the ship given the repairs that will no doubt be needed after the "guests" have all gone back ashore with everything not nailed down to the deck. ...just a thought...albeit it a cynical one.
LOL
When evacuees first checked onto the ship, they had to pass through metal detectors and their luggage was screened, Gurganus said. People leaving the ship to run errands or make other temporary trips are required to check in and out, Gurganus said. She was unsure whether people and their possessions were being screened upon their return.
11 drug-related arrests
"She was unsure whether people and their possessions were being screened upon their return?" ---Well that explains how drugs are getting on. Have any of them even made an effort to find jobs and homes yet?
Consider yourself lucky Ben.
There are 15 fulltime gun toting police officers on our local High School campus every day.
Swell Huh?
The article said most were from Mississippi, but no mention of "demographics" was made.
Owners will have to scuttle the ship when last "passenger" is thrown off.
They're waiting for the Mexican illegal aliens to rebuild their houses
