WTF!! People are fuckin' dyin'in the streets 'cause they don't have water!!  It's been 2 full days since the storm cleared the area.  It's fuckin' inhumane that the damn government can't find at least some helicopters to start droppin' some water to these poor sufferin' people.  WTF!!  I have to question whether this would even be happenin' if the people who were down in the flood were middle classed white folks, pro'ly not.  i think this is jus' more fucked up ugly racism.  Once again Bush has shown his incompetence.  This whole situation down in N'Orle'n is extremely disturbin'.  i'm disgusted by the callousness of the government.  Fuckin' pathetic, especially since this kind of doomsday hurricane, direct hit on N'Orle'n, scenario has been talked about for years. God help us all.

And I bet they don't give away nearly as much FEMA money as they did in FL last year----it was an election year, and W bought a lot of votes that way.  I nearly puked when this one white trash woman was screaming "God bless George Bush!" after she got her check.  Her trailer was barely damaged, and wasn't worth $2k to begin with, she got $20K.  After the election, a lot of the federal aid $$ dried up.  Coincidence?

RIOT
Rioting, the unbeatable high. Adrenaline shoots your nerves to the sky.  Everyone knows this town is gonna blow and it?s all gonna blow right now! Now you can smash all the windows that you want. All you really need are some friends and a rock. Throwing a brick never felt so damn good. Smash more glass, scream with a laugh and wallow with the crowds watch them kicking people?s ass. But you get to the place where the real slavedrivers live, it?s walled off by the riot squad aiming guns right at your heads. So you turn right around  and play right into their hands and set your own neighborhood burning to the ground instead.  Riot - the unbeatable high. Riot - shoots your nerves to the sky. Riot - playing into their hands. Tomorrow you?re homeless, Tonight it?s a blast. Get your kicks in quick. They?re callin? the national guard. Now could be your only chance to torch a police car. Climb the roof, kick the siren in and jump and yelp for joy. Quickly - dive back in the crowd slip away now don?t get caught. Let?s loot the spiffy Hi-Fi store, grab as much as you can hold. Pray your full arms don?t fall off, here comes the owner with a gun.  The barricades spring up from nowhere. Cops in helmets line the lines. Shotguns prod into your bellies. The trigger fingers want an excuse. Now, The raging mob has lost its nerve.  There?s more of us but who goes first. No one dares to cross the lines the cops know that they?ve won. It?s all over but not quite the pigs have just begun to fight. They club your heads, kick your teeth. Police can riot all that they please. Tomorrow you?re homeless.  Tonight it?s a blast.

Are any of you actually from NOLA?
Did any of you evacuate?
Do any of you know people still in NOLA?
Have any of you lost everything you own in NOLA?

If not, what do you know?

I evacuated. Might have lost the house. My neighbors stayed.  My friends and loved ones have lost all they own.  I am alive.  I was in NY 911. I am in NOLA for Katrina.  The reality on the ground is:

Copters evacuating people being shot at.
Snipers shooting at Charity hospital as they try to evacuate. People with knives trying to steal boats from those trying to rescue them.  People fleeing not the storm, but the looting, the danger created by their very own neighbors.  Bush and Rumsfeld sent our rescue equipment to Iraq long ago.  People are paddling through floating bodies. Coffins are breaking out of the ground. Police officers in uniform are looting the Walmart. Five days later and no food drops have been made. Our national guard is in Iraq. The people who are starving are not stealing big screen TVs.  This should say more about education in New Orleans than anything. Perhaps these idiots don't realize they might need electricity. That the only way the t.v. will get out is by carrying it on foot.  And who in mississippi or the gulf coast is going to buy that shit. We've all been hit.  So don't give me this shit about how the looting is "survival". Don't give me this shit that the violence is desperation. Shut up all of you who think it's justified.  These are people who are deterring all efforts to rescue those at the Super Dome, at the Convention Center. . . those dying in their homes.  These are people who are killing the very people who have stayed to keep patients alive in our hospitals.
What are you idiots? This isn't about getting out. It is about thugs and lunatics trying to prevent rescue and insure that more people die a horrible death.

Hey, I don't condone any of it, at least not the senseless violence and such. Just noting that this is how people behave and that I'm a little surprised at all the surprise over it.

May your days be joyously challenging and your words artfully true.

Looters are not looking to survive; they're looking to take advantage of the weakness of others. They are predators. They're taking not what they need but what they want. They are breaking into stores in New Orleans and elsewhere and stealing flat screen TVs and jewelry, guns and CD players. They are breaking into homes and taking what those who have fled trustingly left behind. In Biloxi, Miss., looters went from shop to shop. "People are just casually walking in and filling up garbage bags and walking off like they're Santa Claus," the owner of a Super 8 Motel told the London Times. On CNN, producer Kim Siegel reported in the middle of the afternoon from Canal Street in New Orleans that looters were taking "everything they can."

Nothing is better than a DEAD predator!  At least they would be out of the picture. They don't deserve to live!  If I was there and was armed and someone broke into my store to steal my non food item stuff they would be met with supreme force. I would not hesitate at all to protect myself and law abiding citzens.

And the gas stations charging $5 a gallon and hotels charging $199 a night are not predators?

Well I guess the gas stations and hotels preying on people should take caution then I gather.

No they should have charges filed against them from the state, and I think you may see that after this settles down. It should.

You handle a looter with a pen like Ginger said in court. You handle a looter with a crow bar and a gun with a well placed shot.  You have a duty to protect the law abiding people remember. And if I owned a food store then of course they can have it. If I was there I would hand it out myself.

It's like we are witnessing a mini-Iraq right now. Same story... same mistakes. You have got to feel for those poor people and tourists stuck in that mess. I'm reading stories or rapes, murders, gangs robbing everyone in sight. I've visited nawlins this time of year, and the weather is unbearable. I can't imagine the living hell they are going through right now.

I can't believe they have not airdropped thousands of pounds of food and water for the people. It unreal how we can make it into Iraq ok but we can't get food and water to those people because of 6 feet of water and a few nuts with guns!1

What the heck is going on there.
