jeezus fucking christ...turn up BBC WORLD NOW!

[gp]

showing one chopper dropping ample food/water at the convention center...the soldiers didnt even get out...just dropped them off and let the people on the street fight for them...

overall reporting extremely critical and raw

showing bodies inside the convention temp morgue...

is this America?? :grr:

1. I have to wait until 11 pm to see it. They probably didn't want the

helicopter overrun. Plus that would be faster and they could get the next load.

2. Yes, but why isn't there someone to take charge there?

this is ridiculous!

4. You'd have to threaten lethal force to keep people back.

Drop some pallets of food and water. Wait a few hours. Go in with more after the edge's taken off.

Fewer dead that way, I would think.

3. unbelievable. the Beeb is doing a damned good job showing

the horror. They said he only glimpsed NO on the ground but flew over. They said if he had, he would have glimpsed something that no longer resembled America. THey also said he was 'very good' at faking concern.

They showed cops and military moving against people arms drawn and people flying apart with rage. Awesomely, terribly indescribable. I can only imagine what people in other countries think of this. I can hardly hold it together. My folks and I are not going to do Xmas this year. All that we would have spent is going to this.

God save New Orleans and her suffering people. God save us all.
