they cant force people to leave who refuse to go. though, considering the risk they put rescuers in who have to go save their asses, i think they should be able to.

Not only were a lot of the people of NO ignorant to the warnings, so was the government. But really no one knows exactly where it's going to hit. The thing is we knew it was going to hit somewhere. We knew there were going to be people that would stay behind for various reasons. We knew there would be looting etc..

It was just poor preparation from the government and the people. Problem is the government has paid agencies to be ready/prepared/trained/and the resources to do what their suppose to do, we have military that could have been in there to restore order and evac within hours. I don't blame the war in Iraq, I've been lead to believe we can fight 2 wars on 2 different fronts at the same time. That's what we have, lets get it taken care of. We are finally doing now what we should of been doing immediately.

I live about 3 1/2 hrs.to the west of N.O.,we are doing all we can to help out the people in need.There is alot of people hold up in shelters here and its a sad sight,but what really sucks is with all the people that migrated here brought more crime to my city.Shit when we had a mugging in the past it would make the local news,We are hearing of all kind of muggings at the local walmarts and other stores.But ofcoarse the local goverment officials are denying it.

now thats a damn shame, id be all sorts of pissed off.

[noobie]

Get em Brooke.

 

Personally I wouldn't evac people that were shooting at me either fuck em.  Its one thing to get that primal rage and fight someone to the death its another to shoot at the people trying to get you out to food water and shelter.

and a human canlast 7 days without water and many weeks without food, so blaming the government on them starving is ridiculous.

Not to disrespect anyone here but has anyone else been paying attention to some of the news casts? I'd say the majority are VERY overweight, and the rest are all smoking cigarettes...

As for the looters and the idiots shooting at the people trying to help.............. Leave them there to rot. Consider it cleansing of the gene pool.

Glad you posted that Hott, I saw it over the weekend along with the NO evacuation code where they say that they use those exact buses to evacuate the elderly and poor who can't get themselves out. The problem was that the hurricane was not that bad of a hit on NO it was what happened the next day. Anybody read a paper last Tuesday that said "New Orleans Missed" or something to that effect? The levees broke Tuesday and they had some working water until Wednesday the local gov't thought they were through until the systems couldn't keep up then the disaster started and the media jumped in saying they should have all been evacuated after the hurricane that took out the bridges to Slidell leaving two roads out of the city, the causeway had flooding and damage on the north end so that leaves only one main road to evacuate people with to the west which is what was done. I don't understand how someone could stay in there house while water is rising in it that's beyond my understanding but they did and there's still 10,000 people who refuse to leave, that's right 2% won't leave and they are all that's left of the city after 1 week of busing 100,000 people 50 at a time.

I saw that the people that won't leave, think the water will just go away.

They have no idea what its going to take to get rid of it, and what will be left behind.

Right now most of that water is so toxic, that its burning peoples skin.

I think a lot of those people don

I was wrong, not hundreds, but rather there were two thousand school buses (not to mention hundreds more city transit buses) not used as should have been by the mayor. Below is a must read.

 

 

Not much traction with the abuse

September 6, 2005

 

 

 

George W. finally gets it -- in more ways than one. The tardy president was back on the Gulf Coast yesterday, bucking up the spirits of the damned and stiffening the resolve of the slackers.

    He's getting it as well from his critics, many of whom can't believe their great good luck, that a hurricane, of all things, finally gives them the opening they've been waiting for to heap calumny and scorn on him for something that might get a little traction. Cindy Sheehan is yesterday's news; she couldn't attract a camera crew this morning if she stripped down to her step-ins for a march on Prairie Chapel Ranch.

    The vultures of the venomous left are attacking on two fronts, first that the president didn't do what the incompetent mayor of New Orleans and the pouty governor of Louisiana should have done, and didn't, in the early hours after Katrina loosed the deluge on the city that care and good judgment forgot. Ray Nagin, the mayor, ordered a "mandatory" evacuation a day late, but kept the city's 2,000 school buses parked and locked in neat rows when there was still time to take the refugees to higher ground. The bright-yellow buses sit ruined now in four feet of dirty water. Then the governor, Kathleen Blanco, resisted early pleas to declare martial law, and her dithering opened the way for looters, rapists and killers to make New Orleans an unholy hell. Gov. Haley Barbour did not hesitate in neighboring Mississippi, and looters, rapists and killers have not turned the streets of Gulfport and Biloxi into killing fields.

    The drumbeat of partisan ingratitude continues even after the president flooded the city with National Guardsmen from a dozen states, paratroopers from Fort Bragg and Marines from the Atlantic and the Pacific. The flutter and chatter of the helicopters above the ghostly abandoned city, some of them from as far away as Singapore and averaging 240 missions a day, is eerily reminiscent of the last days of Saigon. Nevertheless, Sen. Mary Landrieu, who seems to think she's cute when she's mad, even threatened on national television to punch out the president -- a felony, by the way, even as a threat. Mayor Nagin, who you might think would be looking for a place to hide, and Gov. Blanco, nursing a bigtime snit, can't find the right word of thanks to a nation pouring out its heart and emptying its pockets. Maybe the senator should consider punching out the governor, only a misdemeanor.

    The race hustlers waited for three days to inflame a tense situation, but then set to work with their usual dedication. The Revs. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, our self-appointed twin ambassadors of ill will, made the scene as soon as they could, taking up the coded cry that Katrina was the work of white folks, that a shortage of white looters and snipers made looting and sniping look like black crime, that calling the refugees "refugees" was an act of linguistic racism. A "civil rights activist" on Arianna Huffington's celebrity blog even floated the rumor that the starving folks abandoned in New Orleans had been forced to eat their dead -- after only four days. New Orleans has a reputation for its unusual cuisine, but this tale was so tall that nobody paid it much attention. Neither did anyone tell the tale-bearer to put a dirty sock in it.

    Condi Rice went to the scene to say what everyone can see for himself, that no one but the race hustlers imagine Americans of any hue attaching strings to the humanitarian aid pouring into the broken and bruised cities of the Gulf. Most of the suffering faces in the flickering television images are black, true enough, and most of the helping hands are white.

    Black and white churches of all denominations across a wide swath of the South stretching from Texas across Arkansas and Louisiana into Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama and Georgia turned their Sunday schools into kitchens and dormitories. In Memphis, Junior Leaguers turned out for baby-sitting duty at the city's largest, most fashionable and nearly all white Baptist church, cradling tiny black infants in compassionate arms so their mothers could finally sleep. The owner of a honky-tonk showed up to ask whether the church would "accept money from a bar." A pastor took $1,400, some of it in quarters, dimes and nickels, with grateful thanks and a promise to see that it is spent wisely on the deserving -- most of whom are black.

    The first polls, no surprise, show the libels are not working. A Washington Post-ABC survey found that the president is not seen as the villain the nutcake left is trying to make him out to be. Americans, skeptical as ever, are believing their own eyes.
