Wade Batiste, 48, recounted another tale of horror."They killed a man here last night," Steve Banka, 28, told Reuters. "A young lady was being raped and stabbed. And the sounds of her screaming got to this man and so he ran out into the street to get help from troops, to try to flag down a passing truck of them, and he jumped up on the truck's windshield and they shot him dead."
HEREHERE"Last night at 8 p.m. they shot a kid of just 16. He was just crossing the street. They ran him over, the New Orleans police did, and then they got out of the car and shot him in the head," Batiste said.

I guess it's just the conspiracy theorist in me, but I really think there's a lot more going on with this whole situation than what we're being told. I am so fucked up over all of this, I don't think I'm gonna be able to even sleep tonight.

....THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT MAKING MASS GRAVES!!!!NOT EVEN RESPECTING THOSE THAT DIED FROM A NATURAL DISASTER...
IT WAS WRITTEN
WHERE IS ARCHAIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I loved Nawlins so much, man... out of all the places I've visited, that was probably my favorite (or at least in the top 3). Just something about the laid back atmosphere, the friendliness of the people down there. There was just something very special and different about that city, I can't even put a finger on it. One of the few places that I felt like I might even want to move to someday.
sickening, but not surprising... you have troops going to an area that appears to be totally laweless. no matter how many times ge. honore sez "this is not bagdad!" or "keep those guns pointed down", the bottom line is every soldier there is scared and jumpy as fuck.
for every story like this, think about how many you read of the police letting people take shoes if it was there size... basically, the cops have no idea how to react and are doing the best they can... (so far at least 2 police suicides,,,) but i would treat the troops/cops down there like a unchained dog: plenty of space... they are def. doing a difficult job and i think we all knew as soon as they were going to get called that we would hear of a LOT of casualties one way or another...
Make no mistake, this isn't a New Orleans thing or a Southern thing, this is your United States of America.
My family and I lived/will live in New Orleans. My wife was born there, her family still all lives in the area. We are lucky because we could evacuate.
I'm with my Mayor, Ray Nagin:
"And they don't have a clue what's going on down here. They flew down here one time two days after the doggone event was over with TV cameras, AP reporters, all kind of goddamn -- excuse my French everybody in America, but I am pissed. "
been there and experienced the shit first hand 3 years go. Wrongfully arrested spen the night i the jail/county prison (its all the same there)... Outside of a few drunks the rest of the people were dirt poor and stuck i the system and similarly didn't know how they got there. Now I know when you're on he other side of the bars everyone is innocent, but, in reality alot of those people were not there because they did anything even remotely arrestable outside of being in their neighborhood.
I never wanted to go back and cursed that city for all it was worth - 36 hours of hell.I don't wish this kind of tragedy on anyone, but really its because the people I dealt with during that experience that are bearing the worst part of this (and I am not talkin about the criminals) just the poverty stricken ignored segment of society that never really had a chance at the "american dream".
shit was fucked up there but more importantly on the real, that is every major metropolitan area in the US. If this incident doesn't serve as a wake up call this country I think is seriously headed for a much bigger widespread social disaster..
There's not. Most of the city will have to torn down and completely re-built. The water that flowed in from the neighboring lake was filled with waste from the city's and surrounding areas sewage system. After a house gets flooded you have 2 days to dry it out and try to save it, with damage from this stuff, I think it's called "black water" or something, the only thing you can save is clothing. Everything else will be covered in mildew and will have to be destroyed. With 80% of the city supposedly flooded, that's 80% that will probably have to be knocked down and rebuilt from scratch.
Its true - If there was that much water in the city that homes are submerged, forget about restorations. Everything needs to be bulldosed. Its all a write off. I don't know how much of the city is under water - I can't figure out how people are driving buses out of there - but mold & rot can't be prevented now. Think of all that history, the buildings & landmarks just washed away in a day.
Of course, it takes other country's news sources to report them.
F?????% that!
That's unbelievable!
The police are here to protect and serve...and by "serve" I mean gaffle...this is hilarious...
By account one of their own[/b], at least ONE THIRD of the cops down there deserted. Dude was calling them out, calling them cowards unfit to wear the badge, all on CNN today. It was wild.
NO SHIT
I just got checked by my wife for calling dude a prick in front of the kids.
I fucking hate condescending cracker reporters like that.
