american wasteland...pt. 2

"New Orleans firefighters walk through water as a looted sports store burns in the background..."


it continues. New Orleans, first a wasteland as a result of a hurricane is now a more tragic wasteland of degenerate, selfish people, more concerned about their so called needs of $100 Nike shoes and expensive NFL jerseys...


LOOTERS RAMPAGE NEW ORLEANS
"An operation to bus more than 20,000 refugees to the Houston Astrodome was suspended temporarily when shots were fired in New Orleans at helicopters being used in the evacuation, a local government spokeswoman in Houston said."

NEW ORLEANS EVACUATION DELAYED BY SHOOTING
"Authorities suspended an evacuation of New Orleans on Thursday after a reported shooting at a military helicopter..."

An angry Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco told reporters: "We will do what it takes to bring law and order to our area."

"I'm just furious. It's intolerable," she said.

"Elsewhere in New Orleans, gunshots repeatedly rang out and fires flared as looters broke into stores, houses, hospitals and office buildings -- some in search of food, others looking for anything of value."


I know it must be crazy being forced from your home, your possessions and maybe even your family, but these desparate acts are only making things worse and making things take longer. It's fuel to a fire already raging. It's lawlessness.

Last night an entire unit of ambulances stopped making runs because of violence against them and their crews. An ambulance was overturned, a generator was stolen as well as other communication equiptment. Add to that hopsitals being broken in to. That is the lowest of low. Civility must have been blown away with the hurricane-force winds...

TROOPS DEPLOYED TO STOP LOOTING
