Re: put dhlaw's thread back up!!!!!
bring it back.....however some of the posts were WAY out of hand!!
some people could really use some tact here in the posts (not this thread, the deleted one!!)
keep the info flowing, its nice to hear more than the media can supply....they seem so one sided and quick to point blame and politicize the whole trajedy!!

For starters, turn off your phones, your power and your water, put the food from your refrigerator in coolers and take the screens off your windows. Pretend ALL the stores and gas stations are closed and your place of business has disappeared, then go sh it behind the bushes in your yard for three or four days and come back and tell us how you feel.

The situation in New Orleans was a bit different, but I can understand what happened, given the type of envirement & social science there.

I've been there before, I've lost everything in a hurricane, I've come home to a place filled with water and ate beenie weenies from the red cross. And all I can say is it makes me F*cking sick...the only pleasure is knowing these ungreatfull peices of sh*t will rot in hell for what they are doing, I only hope someone arranges the meeting sooner rather than later for them.

Criminals were NOT released. These are your everyday variety scum of the earth. What you are not being informed of are the heroic and compassionate acts that are happening by the thousands every day.

Re: put dhlaw's thread back up!!!!!
If you havent lived it, you dont know jack...
After Andrew the same dregs of the earth were out terrorizing and looting. It took four or five days before the National Gaurd was able to get here and put things in order...
My heart bleeds for the good people of NO and the other affected areas. (Keep in mind we are seeing NO the most because that is where the news crews were sent, and are stuck there now.) The rest of em need a well placed shot to the forehead, then let the mighty Mississippi cary them away....

If they reported the good, more people would behave and be calm during the situation.... Instead, all the trapped and evacuated have been listing to the news reports and the dumb ass reporters....
I understand reporting the bad.... but be equal and tell about the good things that are happening.... Like whole communities coming together helping evacuate people... Like the people who offered food to neighbors who were hungry.... Like the woman who opened her house up to 16 neighbors who's houses were destroyed....
I HATE the news stations....
