Massacre of the poor in New Orleans?

[proud2BlibKansan]

If those 100,000 New Orleans poor are in fact concentrated in the Superdome and disaster then strikes, it will be the single biggest massacre of the poor since the real-life Vlad the Impaler (the Count Dracula of fiction) invited the poor men, women and children of his land (Transylvania) to dine in a building - and then set the building on fire to murder them all. And that would all be in typical character for the Dajjal Bush, who bicycled around his ranch in the days following last December's Asian tsunami disaster.

1. You don't understand. The superdome is ONLY for those who cannot

evacuate for medical reasons. Period. If I heard correctly, those who just didn't evacuate because WHATEVER (like poverty, no transportation, no money) are SOL.

They won't be getting in. They are on their own.

3. I believe that was changed today to allow everyone in.

Too little, too late, though.

7. I think they will be

sitting ducks.

5. Not true. I've lived in NOLA and the Superdome is for EVERYONE who

can not evacuate.

6. That's not what I heard just a few minutes ago

CBS said ALL folks who couldn't evacuate would be taken to the Superdome.

2. And it's a real possibility

I'm terrified for everyone in the path of this storm.

4. Im terrified for them as well.

Mostly black, poor folk will die in this storm.

8. How much wind speed can the superdome take?

Anyone know? I'm searching around and not finding any info.

9. 200 MPH, IIRC. -nt-

10. Here's one. 200 mph.

But can it take that wind force with rain?

11. I was wondering how water tight it is

It isn't that far from the river.

12. It's above sea level

But that is of little consolation.

[proud2BlibKansan]

14. I thought all of NO is below sea level

Did I hear that wrong?

[Horse with no Name]

15. No you heard correctly

But the Superdome is, from what I understand, above sea level.

13. There are going to be serious issues even if it stands up to the wind

From that article I get the impression the place is neither staffed nor provisioned to provide water and food, let alone sanitation if the power gets out and it turns into an island.
