Fox Reports: NG not allowing people to leave Convention Center

[liberaliraqvet26]

Geraldo and Shepard smith revolted on live tv. The NG has locked people inside the convention center and are not allowing them to cross into neighboring Gretna. Geraldo broke into tears and told Hannity to knock his spin off that people are dying and it is worse than "Willowbrook". (the mental hospital of death in Staten Island that he exposed back in the '80 that made his career)

1. He told Hannity to knock off the spin?

What was the reaction?

[LevelB]

2. Yeah, both the FAUX reporters were ballistic.

But Sean looks very dapper tonight, don't you think?

3. I feared that the NG would do this!

There are close to a hundred buses sitting right outside the convention center!!!!


Get those people out of there!!!!:grr:

[me b zola]

4. Nero's photo op is over so they are letting those people lie there & die?

:nuke: :nuke: :nuke:

[SledDriver]

5. Why does this misadministration get off on torturing innocent people?

Buses right outside and they LOCK THEM IN THE CONVENTION CENTER???
:wtf:

[tuckessee]

22. You'll have a better chance of getting an answer

if you ask the troops.

After all, they're the ones who are actually sticking automatic weapons in the victims' faces and preventing them from reaching safety under penalty of death.

Soldier confirms Chile Stadium killings
Tuesday, 27 June, 2000, 08:53 GMT 09:53 UK
A former army officer in Chile has said numerous executions took place in Santiago's national stadium in the aftermath of the 1973 military coup.

Former non-commissioned officer Roberto Saldias said on national television that he saw prisoners taken off for execution at the stadium when he was on guard duty.

They took the law in their own hands," he said, adding he was prepared to provide the names of the executioners.

According to an official report, more than 3,000 people were killed under General Pinochet's regime and more than 1,000 are still unaccounted for.

7. What could they possibly hope to accomplish by doing this?

Is this some experiment to see just how far they can go?

At first I believe that this was sheer incompetence and criminal negligence. Now, I am beginning to believe it is much more sinister.

9. I posted that same thought yesterday

that this may be a test. The thread was removed. So were others like it. After the photo-op this morning it was looking like I was right. And if this is true, if people are being held hostage in NO then we are in deeper shit than I thought.

8. next they're gonna ship in the gas then............

[jasmeel]

10. What can we do? Anyone to call. I am stunned those people

are still there. Call me naive.

11. If that's true that will cause a riot

12. Geraldo won an Emmy for Willowbrook, excellent investigative reporting

He weeped for that story too, one of incredibly inhumane treatment at a Staten Island mental health facility that left its patients lying in their own excrement for days at a time. At that time he reported for ABC-NY Eyewitness News and had a very good reputation.

13. Jesus Christ this is awful! These people have been calm all week!

[slipslidingaway]

14. I heard that on Fox although I thought what they were referring

to was the Convention area and not the center itself. Shepard Smith said there is a checkpoint on the bridge/overpass and they will not let them pass, they are turned back.

Geraldo was saying let them go, let them walk out!

This is the first time I've heard they were being held at that location. I do not know the area and thought they were surrounded by water which is why they stayed.

Does anyone know if they could have walked out days ago? I'd be curious to know when this checkpoint was set up, today, yesterday or a couple of days ago.

15. listen they called for all available aircraft earlier before it got dark

something terrible is going to happen there. I am sure of it.

16. America's Tiannamen's Square?

I hope that's just tinfoil thinking.

17. LA GOV SAID JUST NOW THAT THEY'LL BE MOVED IN THE MORNING

I watched her say it on WWL live feed

Don't panic...

On edit: I don't really like how she's saying that the people remaining in NO are wrong for not evacuating. WTF?

[Tyranny_R_US]

19. Whatever she's had up her ass lately she needs to pull it out.

[McCamy Taylor]

18. Are they hoping for a riot to motivate the Right Wing base to vote in 2006

[RagAss]

20. Great post

..actually he broke Willowbrook in the early 70's...the man basically invented hidden camera journalism....

[lala_rawraw]

21. What the fuck is going on? social experiment to see how far they can push

the rest of us?

[Desertrose]

23. Bush likes killing....
