These people in the Superdome are not just victims
They are "material witnesses" to the crimes that were committed in the name of our country in the Superdome.
There will be very little to no access to them by anyone until they are "debriefed".
None of the other evacuees will be treated like these people. Just watch.
The ones in our area came in by private cars and have free access to the community.
That's why they weren't letting people that drove there in the Astrodome--these are "designated shelters"--to be used ONLY for the Superdome evacuees.
This is creepy.:scared:

They reversed that decision yesterday (Dome not only for Superdome evacuees). And the people staying in the Dome will be allowed to come and go -- they're giving them some sort of bracelet to identify them as residents so they can come and go freely, as the general public (including press) won't be allowed inside. That won't keep reporters from interviewing right outside, as was happening last night as the buses were arriving.

I agree that they're material witnesses, but I don't agree that they're going to be sequestered to hush them up.
