guy inside the Convention Center
is talking to Wolf. Raymond Cooper: "Please DO NOT send in armed National Guard unles you have someone in charge to tell the people what is happening. I am ex military, I know. There are kids in here with guns, they are like Zombies, half dead, they are about to go crazy. You know what will happen. I am begging you"

9. There's no one to check them at the Convention Center
THis sounds like an impromptu shelter. Doesn't sound like ANYONE in authority even knew they were there until today.

So very sad.

10. The military needs to put down their fucking weapons
and carry in as much food and water as possible. Then there won't be any need for guns.

Of course Bush's only solution to any problem is to kill it, so I won't get my hopes up.

11. From WWLTV: 88 officers were beaten back by the mob...
http://www.wwltv.com/local/stories/WWLBLOG.ac3fcea.html

"4:15 P.M. - (AP): Police say storm victims are being raped and beaten inside the New Orleans Convention Center.

About 15,200 people who had taken shelter at the convention center to await buses grew increasingly hostile.

Police Chief Eddie Compass says he sent in 88 officers to quell the situation at the building, but they were quickly beaten back by an angry mob.

Compass says, "We have individuals who are getting raped, we have individuals who are getting beaten."


He says tourists are walking in that direction and they are getting preyed upon.

In hopes of defusing the unrest at the convention center, Mayor Ray Nagin gave the refugees permission to march across a bridge to the city's unflooded west bank for whatever relief they can find. But the bedlam appeared to make leaving difficult."
