1. The guy who broke into the home to rescue him disobeyed

orders and is probably in trouble. This country has been ruined by the BFEE.

[WePurrsevere]

6. If we find out who the guy was that saved this man by disobeying orders...

we should write him in support. Sadly I don't think he'll get very much of it from the military or Bush*'s gov.

13. Some Sergeant, I was "stealth surfing" at work and didn't note

the name.

NEW ORLEANS - A National Guard team of searchers rescued an unconscious and emaciated man from his duplex Tuesday, two weeks after Hurricane Katrina had devastated his neighborhood.

Medics from California Task Force 5, a rescue squad based in Orange County, were able to get intravenous fluids through a vein under the man's clavicle, an intricate curbside medical procedure that may have saved the man's life.
The man was transported to Ochsner Hospital and is expected to survive.

Identified by a police official at the scene as only "Mr. Hollingsworth," the man had been lying on the couch in his locked and sweltering home. Lt. Fredrick Fell and Sgt. Jeremy Ridgeway, who had been searching the neighborhood for survivors, peered through the front window at 1927 Lopez St. and saw Hollingsworth's foot extending over the edge of his couch.
At first, they thought they had discovered a dead body. But Fell, whose unit is based in San Diego, decided to investigate. Soldiers bashed open the front door and found the elderly Hollingsworth was still alive.

19. Thank you for the info! If they disobeyed an order to save a life...

they should get a medal.

Thank goodness that there was a doctor who had a good head on his shoulders so close by. It's wonderful that they say he's expected to survive and I'm so glad they got the puppy out as well and it's okay. I wonder who and what happened to "Lillian Hollingsworth" though.

22. It seems there's a slightly different edit of the same article

in the SF Chronicle
http://www.sfgate.com/chronicle

that says FEMA had instructed searchers not to break into homes. They were to knock AND IF NO ONE ANSWERED, move on.

One of this crew looked in a window and saw the man's foot "at an odd angle." They broke in and found him alive.

[Desertrose]

2. I am so beyond words.........

.................................

:cry:


what goes around comes around......but sometimes not soon enough...........

[buff2]

4. I'm afraid there will be many more deaths

before Karma hits that idiot. I've been waiting.....and waiting....and waiting.....and waiting....and waiting...

[buff2]

3. My God.......

No wonder the bu$h bastards don't want any more photos of "bodies" being taken out. That is so sad.15 days. It looks like that poor man didn't have any water or food in those 15 days either. God,this is awful. :cry:

[Xenotime]

5. * is responsible for this poor person's suffering.

This is a perfect example that he should have done something sooner to take care of these poor people. :cry: :cry:

[WePurrsevere]

8. Yes, and I get more disgusted and angry by the day...

we need to fight for verifiable ballots in all states so we have a FAIR chance of getting these inhuman pieces of Bush* out of office ASAP. :grr:

That poor man... I hope and pray that he makes it through.

[JuniperLea]

9. You can call for mandatory evacuation, but some people

have no means of getting out of town. I wonder how many people were bed-ridden and just left behind.

[JuniperLea]

7. tip of the iceberg, people

i just know that there are far more horror stories to be told and we don't know the half of it.

more and more bodies will be found as the flood waters subside, i imagine many people in their attics, still in the position where they took their last breaths. and there could very well be more survivors. knocking on doors and yelling isn't enough! how many days has it been? jeez... this is moving waaaaay too slowly!

[WePurrsevere]

11. Sadly I think so as well but I'll be surprised if we're "allowed" to see..

the rest of the iceberg since it's hidden pretty deep in Bush*.

[JuniperLea]

15. True, sad but true

The one thing we can hold onto is the fact that so many are waking up and smelling the "chimppuccino" including the media. And we can't underestimate the power of people in the public eye who appeal to a very wide audience, like Oprah.

There are far too many people involved to keep this buried forever, mainly the Chimp's victims. I for one want to hear their stories... I think it would be cathartic and therapeutic for all concerned to hear those stories.

They can fiddle with the death toll numbers all they want, the people will be looking for family members. I'm sure there will be a massive missing persons list.

10. We will honor those who suffered by awakening the country

The hearings in Congress for SCOTUS should be suspended for immediate -- oh wait-- bipartisan hearings on the Bushco. Katrina failures....


IS ANYONE IN CHARGE HERE?

[sickinohio]

12. OMG - why can't charges bu$hco

the same as they were against the people that owned the nursing home?? Throw the whole lot of these crazy basta*ds in JAIL!! Geez- I bet the chimp doesn't even see pictures like this. He's so out of touch with reality. AND, he wouldn't even care if he did see the pictures!! I bet xanax laura doesn't care either - if she did, she wouldn't have married the evil basta*d!! I can't believe those two heartless fools had offspring!! There should have been a law against it!

[SammyBlue]

14. That dude being carried looks like he just got out of Dachau

I am sickened, appalled and embarassed. :near tears:

16. IS THIS AMERICA?

would have been my caption

:hug:


After this, ya know I never tossed around the F word or the (other) N word-- but how can we deny these people are Nazis?

[Zynx]

20. I was going to say Auschwitz, but that works too.

Something has gone horribly wrong in America.

[omega minimo]

21. The drama of the emaciated figure surrounded by uniforms

speaks volumes.

I keep seeing "warning graphic" threads (new one just now on Latest) and posts that we "need" to see the most grisly of the images.

Some of us don't .
