CNN now reporting explosions erupting in NO/ evacuee reports from center

[Kurovski]

On Daybreak show

Southwest NO. Chartres Street, where railroad cars are located.

Speculating that they were set, "the city has fallen" and people are taking atvantage.

Report has now switched: Alan gold? (evacuee)claims "genocide going on." inside convention center. "We need the Army or national guard." "people are sick and dying" "we need help"

"we need bush to stand up, come down and get us out of here."

They "banded together" to "get rid of" people with guns in the center. "We are one big family now, we have to take care of each other, no one else will."

"it doesn't take 5 days to get busses down here."

Newscaster just said " I can't believe this is happening in the United States." Me neither, sister, but here we are.

1. The police officer on interview said...

"The city is gone"

Costello asked him again, and he repeated it and left the interview.

2. Yes, I think he went to the scene.

"police force crippled"

[JohnnyRingo]

3. CNN is at a loss for coverage

Is this what desparate anarchism looks like?

[Qibing Zero]

5. No, this is chaos. This is your dystopian society,

not your utopian one.

4. It sounds like a war zone

People begging to get out

[Kurovski]

8. I just can't imagine what bush will do or say when he gets there

tommorow.

if he's smart he'll bring a bus and drive it himself ahead of a 500 bus caravan of evacuees.

anything short of that at this point is utterly worthless.

6. I wonder if they're bombing the refugees now. n/t

7. Why would a war be erupting in NOLA? Makes no sense at all

...

but then again, nothing does under BushCo.

[Kurovski]

9. Police are not going into convention center

to handle the violence taking place. (sounds like the Iraqi police)

Guns made there way in, apparently looted weapons.
