10 - 15 thousand at Convention Center . . . NO FEMA or NG presence . . .

[OneBlueSky]

no Red Cross, no Salvation Army, no cops, nobody but refugees without food or, more critically, water . . . many bodies reported inside, and the reporter I just heard actually watched a baby die . . .

this is unforgivable negligence! . . . four days in, and NOBODY has gone to help these people . . .

1. This is why there's been so much emphasis on looting.

They want the public to have less sympathy for those who are left behind to die.

2. If we can move armies into the middle east, we should be able to move

citizens out of a sports arena.

3. will there be accountability? or even recognition of the horror

probably not

4. There was a bunch of them hanging around one

of the wealthier areas affected (I forget exactly where), but the "white" people they interviewed were glad they were there :eyes:

Of course, I found that a sharp contrast to what's going on at the 'dome.

5. OMFG!!! The unbelievable horror of it!

Stray bullets or no, there should be immediate evac of everyone at the dome by air. NOW!!...and keep it up 24/7 until it is finally done.

How long does it take to bring a fleet of helicopters from all locations until the job gets done? How many news choppers are filming this madness rather than join in the effort? (I know some news teams are on the ground and are helping...they cannot ignnore it). Every chopper is worth at least 10 lives an hour!!

Fuck a plan...just get them out. When people start dying, many will turn into panicked animals genetically programmed for survival. In a large pack like that, they will start to tear each other apart.

6. Is this the Ernest Morial Convention Center?

Thats right on the river, and if memory serves they have a dock as well.

Why cant they get a boat of some sort on the river to that area? Either to get people out or get some supplies in!?!?!?

If its the Ernest Morial Center, that place is massive.
