My poiint is those people had amaple time to get provisions that are
necessary to sustain life for just a few days, a case of bottled water
sdome cans of beans etc would do just fine.........but they elected to

the fan and then do their own ittle looting. These peope were ...[snip]

Just to be clear, which "those people" are we talking about.

looters......Its plain as day who I am referring to they are on TV
constantly being filmed........inside stores pileaging.....should be
pretty easy to save those tapes and start picking them up once things
simmer down a bit......

Not always so. A woman was shot to death today in an argument over a bag of

Good thing we have the national guard available to for deployment to
assist their state in times of disaster and to prevent looting.

You're absolutely right Snooze, since the governor of each state has
publicly stated that they have plenty of National Guardsmen available
to meet any need they have. If you really had the courage of your
conviction, you'd recommend the governor issue shoot to kill orders for
the looters, that way it wouldn't take that many Guardsmen or Police.
Once the word was out that looting will cost your life, it wouldn't
last long.


The Koreans did exactly that, permission or not, in the Rodney King riots,
seems word got out really quickly.

What I cant understand is the lack of unorganization by the goverment.
They knew this storm was coming and it didnt seem like they prepared
too well for transportation for people to leave the city. Also, why
doesnt Bush just send in a massive military force to put things under
control and stop the looting and organizie things? How about putting
some Navy and Coast Guard ships right off New Orleans and transporting
people to them via, boats, helicopter or whatever where then they can
have food and shelter. It just seems liek a big lack of communication
and unorganization. Am I looking at things wrongly or am I expecting
too much, I dont think so. Does anyone know if extra buses, trains, or
whatever were available for people to evacuate who couldnt afford any
other means?

Also for those people who are looting for personal gain should not be
rescued. Bush should put out an order about stopping the looting or
there will be severe consequences!

$$ There didn't seem to be any way at all for the poor to leave and where
would they have gone? They can't afford Motel and Hotels.

$$ That takes time. I heard that a ship is on the way. Someone needs to
pick up the dead bodies. In that head decomposition is rapid.

$$ I don't think anyone expected this storm to be so catastrophic.

$$ All I saw were some buses hauling them off to Texas.........
