City is totally fucked.. they can't stop the water from coming in and the pumps are breaking every few hours..

Last report was that they were getting about 2 feet in an hour.. they think it will take at least a month to get the water out..

I heard the mayor (or governor) this morning say that they will probably not let anyone back into the city for 12 to 16 weeks! Fucking 4 months! This city is ruined. Wtf will people do without work for that long?

Their water system is down, the sewer system cannot function under water like it is so there is not one single toilet in the city that will flush. Snakes, alligators, etc. No electricity or gas. No public utilities at all.

And the government is breaking down. You can tell in the voices of the mayor and others that they don't know what the fuck to do. I saw the governor this morning being interviewed and she was asked about the looting and the armed gangs that were confronting police while looting. She said that right now they have priorities and the levies need to be fixed. So, basically, its just what-ever-the-fuck you want to do now. No laws.

I heard Tulane's football stadium literally looks like a bowl filled with water.

Well, the dumbass thing is that she may not know it, but the looting is the worst problem that they have right now. Not because of the monetary loss that the looters are stealing, but in the public perception. People can't get to their homes for 12 to 16 weeks and they turn on the TV and see people walking around town with shopping carts full of shit they took from somewhere. And then there are people like me that charities are asking money from and I look on the TV and see people shooting at police so that they can carry TV's out of some guys store. A person's will to help can get diminished watching that shit.

They may have priorities, one of which is to fix the levies and stop the water from coming in, but they better figure the fuck how to work on two problems at the same time. One of them being looting.

Likewise I have followed this pretty intently, and I am DISGUSTED by the behavior of the blacks in the area.
I just saw a woman police officer (with gun and all) looting with the rest of th elooters.
Parasites of society. I am not suprised.
I feel so bad for the good blacks when they see (pretty much ONLY) their race doing the looting.
Damn those parasites to hell. Just heard that a Police precinct was attacked by two black thugs with AK-47s, another was shot in the face, and multiple other Policemen have been shot as well.
I could shoot the looters with a smile. Sorry ass oppurtunistic predators. [Image: icon_evil.gif]

You know, if you could drop the racial slant in your comments, you could make a much more intelligent comment.

how much time did the people of New Orleans have to get out of town? part of me is very sad that this kind of thing happened to the people there, but hell...why not get the fuck out?

New Orleans - Paddy - 08-31-2005

to clarify major privates comments and yours clays...

probably 90% of people that stayed behind were in the poor black area. These were people with no cars, no credit cards, no family.. nothing. These were areas of new orleans that no police would even goto on a sunday afternoon. Most of the rescues shown on tv are from the 9th ward. if you notice all the houses look the same .. there is a reason for it. Its sad to racially profiles something but more than likely its because that blacks make up most of whats left there.

Now there were alot of tourist that got caught there because by saturday all the rental cars were gone and the airport was shut down. So what do you do? Its a bad situation and its only gonna get worse. Most of the cemetaries in new orleans are under water which means the dead are floating around.. and thats not counting the people who died during the hurricane. Most of the people there in boats are driving through dead bodies and they won't even try to count them until they get the water out.

I wonder if Master P, Juvenile, Lil' Wizzy, Silk the Shocker, and C-Murder are okay.

Seriously, that shit is fucked up.

New Orleans - Bill - 08-31-2005

fact is New Orleans has known that a disastar of this nature was emminant(sp?fu) they should have had a better disaster responce plan in place. don't get me wrong I feel for the people but face it, they really have no idea what to do next. there is no contingincy plan. The looting on the other hand is just shamefull and I hope the all get crotch rot from the contaminated water.
