I was down there for a week in 2002 and after seeing some of the filth that populates that city, maybe this is just the cleansing it needs....
they\'re shooting at rescuers because they feel like they\'re being abandoned. The people organizing the bus runs wouldn\'t let folks on the buses unless they were already being housed at the Superdom. A couple gun cracks have changed their story. Now everyone gets to go. I say bravo to the guntotting. Makin\'
**** happen! I hope when Bush tours there tomorrow, they have the same attitude!
Here is one of my favorite images out there. For one reason or another, this one has stuck in my head. I first saw it one the news and everytime I think about the destruction of Katrina, it brings me back to this photo. This is not the best photo of the scene but what is happening in the photo kinda sums up how much New Orleans is in turmoil.

The prisioners from the prisons down there were forced to spend their time after the hurricane on a bridge. Where they sat for hours/days.
I say let them live in the disaster they all knew New Orleans was capable of being, may be a few days in filth will make them smarten up.
If the destruction of this storm hasn\'t deterred them from acting like a-holes, then nothing will.
I wonder if the casinos in Mississippi removed all of the coins and cash prior to abandoning the riverboat casinos. If not, I\'m sure we can count on the looters making some explorations of the remaining premises.
when they go beyond the line of desperation (which IMO they are just at), things will change. They will realize that they need help. Either that or they what till the water levels off and starts to recede.
I am sure that the casinos have secured their money.
anyone confirm that there are now supposedly Tiger Sharks swimming in the streets of New Orleans?
havent heard that one yet spacey?
maybe some of hte profits from moe.down will go to help those whose lives have be devasted. someone has to step up in the aftermath

Boston Beer Company (Samuel Adams) is doubling all employee donations. If you would like your contribution doubled, paypal it to me by 9/8 at
terrapinwolf@hotmail.com and I will donate it through the company\'s fund so it can be doubled.
Does anyone know anything about how bad Mississippi has gotten it? I heard that a few towns have been lost completely, mostly the ones in the direct hurricane path.
I only know what I read and see pictures of, but Mississippi seems to have it the worst. In New Orleans, the buildings are flooded and being looted. In the Gulf Coast of Mississippi, there are no buildings.
That\'s what I heard too.
Mississippi, I guess, many small towns have been wiped out of existence.
I could not emagine. Where do you start after everything you own is gone?
Since most of these people did not have proper insurance, I guess they start where they are right now. Pissed off, homeless and broke.
