'I will leave when I am dead' - video on CNN re the Holdouts - a good
look at the American Spirit. It made me smile. You hear a few people mentioning some old document called the Constitution.

American's aren't big fans of Authorities pushing them around. I'm not criticizing the NOLA cops, Nat. Guard or military but you have to love the feisty, independent nature of people.

Go down to where it says WATCH - link titled 'I will leave when I am dead'.

6. The U.N........
that would be nice........But all of this being played out before our eyes is only a small part of the bigger picture which is a one world agenda. I'm afraid the UN is complicit.

3. with the crap that's in the water...
unless that guy's gotten medical treatment, the authorities might as well leave him alone and remove his body in a couple of weeks. :scared:

4. Most of the people weren't in the flooded areas. The man at the
beginning - his property looked dry.

13. As long as you don't drink it it wont hurt you
or wade around with open sores etc, I think that is just an excuse to remove people

5. This just breaks my heart!
Well if you ever wondered how our own Military would treat it's own people and if they would follow orders against their own..........I guess we know now. And I can only imagine what is happening that we DONT see.....off camera.

7. Haven't sen any handcuffs on white people
Edited on Fri Sep-09-05 12:07 PM by malaise
looks like whether you own your home or not, if you're an African American you are not wanted. This is too sad to believe. The mask has been removed.
Edit -sp.

14. An interesting piece
that made me wonder why the city gov't of New Orleans doesn't seem to assert itself more. I guess the pecking order is turned upside down during a state of emergency. Empty French Quarter hotels with power seen to be a real waste.
