    New Orleans was 80% evacuated before the storm.

    That left 250,000 still in the city.

    Less than 100,000 refugees/people at the Super Dome

    Over 100,000 people unaccounted for.

    This is very very bad.

    I can see the violence happening. No food, no clean water, no electricity, no roads, no place to go. On top of that, the city is flooded and people are wading through waste water. Add to that, high temperatures and high humidity.

    I'm not saying I agree with it, I'm just saying I can see it happening. So sad.

    us here on the west coast are in for it now.

    Compared to the rest of the world, we are far over due for a major disaster.

    So a hurricane blows in a destroys a town and a lot of people are now homeless with no food or water and somehow this makes it ok to commit murder? Sorry, I don't see your reasoning.

    where there is no rule of law might equals right. if the civil authorities refuse to render assistance when it is thier job and duty to do so it is criminal negligence. in this case the courts will probably rule in defense of the parties attempting to board civil service boats and using force to do so.

    Like 1,000,000 tons of bricks being suspended 100 miles in the sky, by a rope that can hold 1,000,000.1 tons.

    actually, at 100miles altitude you would only need common sewing thread to hold it together and in one place.
