I just talked to some kin i got in magnolia, they sayin that the projects are fuuuucked up, course no coverage on them because what does fox news and cnn give a fuck about them niggas? but anyhow, nigga sayin shit is crazy, fuckin niggas actin crazy as fuck, lootin and robbing all kinds of shit, talkin bout the police basically sayin stay the fuck inside or we gonna shoot you (marshall law). How the fuck you can stay inside the whole time this shit goin on, when you got babys that need diapers and milk, no fuckin food, no electricity. wtf! shit is fucked man..prayin for my folk man

You're a fucking idiot...Learn to speak some english you stupid fuck. Your people or should I say "niggas"?? dont have to rob and loot shit...I understand looting for food, but they're taking everything..I just saw on cnn where a walgreens was looted and guess what they went for?? Money and Drugs....The city is under Marshall law because of idiots like your "niggas" that are breaking into homes and stealing peoples shit...

 

 

 

I grew up in NOLA and have talked to quite a few people that had sense enough to get out...And they're worried about your "niggas" breaking in their houses...

 

You're an ignorant dumbass, that some how spun a national tragedy into a racism issue...Fuck you!

[/b]

 

 

 

why do you keep putting quotes around niggas? my folk are black, they are niggas. the looting and robbing was referring to basic necessities, such as food and diapers. not fuckin girbaud pants and reeboks or your friends teapots and fine china. NO FOOD. GET IT? BABY NEEDS DIAPERS. GET IT? My main point was that i have family there and they are in serious danger, and I am concerned. I don't think you understand what living in the projects means, "scrawburry" (nice play on southern slang there, G). it means, you don't have much of anywhere to go to, you're whole family is usually in the hood, so where the fuck are you going to evacuate to? with what money are you going to put up your whole family in a hotel/motel? so, you ride that shit out and pray for the best and prepare for the worst. You sissy ass hoe, quit your crying, i don't give a fuck that you grew up in nola. And you seem to be the racist one here. A lot of slick referrences were made in your reply about niggas and lootin. You talkin sideways, cocksucker.

this is a written acct of what someone heard from a nat'l guardsman working inside the dome..

 

One of the girls I work with's boyfriend who I'm in a pool league with is in the Guard. Anyways, she talked to him last night and this morning and has some pretty good information.

 

heard from him last night he scared the shit out of me he said the back up generators were about to go under water and there would be no lights at all their all still stuck in the dome people are looting and rioting tehy've had fights out the ass and they had to contain some guy running around stabbing people with pens and whatever else he could find, then of course the one that jumped off the rafters and killed himself. then jas had to take of of the sgts to jackson barricks and fill the lmtv with body bags and i think jas said they got about 500 and all of them are full now, the toilets are backing up people are pissing and shitting in the hallways and on peoples belongings

 

and he said if the lights did go out prolly half of them wouldnt make it through the night with all the freaks in there so i was all upset but he called me this morning said the water didnt rise that high to take down the generators but if they dont fix the levy they very well could cover them today or possibly tomorrow

 

hats just what they got until they ran out of bags he said its not people from the dome its the ones that were burried coming back up

 

heir running out of food, and clean drinking water he said theres bodies all over in the city floating around which is not good considering the risk of disease. but this morn he said things were a little better besides the water rising

 

yea he said the smell is unbearable he said the dome smells like someone just took a big shit in it and its been sitting there for weeks

 

yeah i think jas is about to flip out his dad said he called him yesterday morning in tears bc the way these people int he dome were acting trying to start shit with the nat guard and fighting and the smell and no ac

9:33 a.m.: Mayor: It Could Take Months To Get People Home

The mayor of New Orleans says it could be months before evacuees from Hurricane Katrina will be allowed back into the city.

 

Two broken levees continue to spill water into the streets, swamping an estimated 80 percent of the below-sea-level city. Efforts to plug the leaks aren't going very well, and the governor has ordered the city abandoned for now.

 

Speaking on ABC's "Good Morning America," Mayor Ray Nagin says it could be 12 to 16 weeks before anyone will be allowed back in. Besides the flooding, he says he's concerned about disease issues because of dead bodies in the water.

Story continues below ad

 

Gov. Kathleen Blanco tells ABC that looting is also a severe problem but the focus right now is on survivors. It could take a month just to pump out the water. -- Associated Press

 

9:14 a.m.: Volunteers Head to La. To Look For Lost Pets

A Madison County, Ill., prosecutor is leaving this week for the Gulf Coast to offer assistance to some lower profile hurricane victims -- family pets.

 

Amy Maher is a coordinator for a national organization called Noah's Wish, which works to save as many pets as possible during such catastrophes. The group expects more than 100 Noah's Wish volunteers to arrive in Louisiana Thursday.

 

The volunteers will provide temporary shelter for animals whose owners are unable to care for them in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. If they can't be reunited with their original owners, some of the rescued animals could also be brought back to Illinois and put up for adoption. -- Associated Press

 

9:06 a.m.: Pope Praying For Victims

Pope Benedict said he is praying for victims of Hurricane Katrina and urged rescue workers to persevere in bringing comfort to survivors.

 

In a telegram of condolences, Benedict said he was "deeply saddened" to learn of the catastrophe caused by the storm. The telegram, sent by the Vatican's secretary of state, Cardinal Angelo Sodano, said Benedict was praying for the victims and offered consolation to their families. -- Associated Press

 

8:49 a.m.: Looting Continues Unabated

Looting broke out in some New Orleans neighborhoods Wednesday, prompting authorities to send more than 70 additional officers and an armed personnel carrier into the city. Police said one officer was shot in the head by a looter Tuesday, but is expected to recover.

 

The (New Orleans) Times-Picayune reported Wednesday that a Wal-Mart in the Lower Garden District was looted, and the entire gun collection was taken.

 

Terry Ebbert, New Orleans Homeland security chief, said there are gangs of armed men moving around the city. Also, the governor's office reports looters tried to break into Children's Hospital.

 

On New Orleans' Canal Street, dozens of looters ripped open the steel gates on clothing and jewelry stores and grabbed merchandise.

 

In Biloxi, Miss., people picked through casino slot machines for coins and ransacked other businesses.

 

In some cases, the looting was in full view of police and National Guardsmen. -- Associated Press

 

8:37 a.m.: Superdome Evacuation Under Way

Bus convoys will begin moving at least 25,000 Hurricane Katrina refugees Wednesday from New Orleans to Houston.

 

Most of the refugees are among the thousands who have been sweltering for days inside the Superdome in New Orleans. Harris County officials said they will be sheltered in Houston's 40-year-old Astrodome. The Houston domed stadium hasn't been used as a sports venue in years.

 

Rusty Cornelius is administrative coordinator for the Harris County Office of Homeland Security in Houston. He told The Associated Press that initial planning has been under way since early Wednesday. -- Associated Press

 

7:26 a.m.: Washington Rushes Aid To Victims

Washington is rushing aid to victims of Hurricane Katrina. The Navy is sending four ships carrying water and other supplies to the Gulf Coast region. The Federal Emergency Management Agency has sent medical specialists from across the country.

 

FEMA says it has 500 trucks of ice, 500 trucks of water and 350 trucks of military meals-ready-to-eat scheduled for distribution in the next 10 days. Four Navy amphibious ships are to leave Norfolk, Virginia, over the next few days for deployment on the Gulf Coast.

 

The Coast Guard is conducting search-and-rescue missions, assessing damage in the air and on the water and flying in supplies. -- WDSU.com Web Staff

 

7:13 a.m.: More Than 40 Aircraft Used For Rescues

More than 40 Coast Guard aircraft from as far away as California and Massachusetts are being used to rescue hundreds of people left stranded by Hurricane Katrina on the Mississippi Gulf Coast and New Orleans. The Coast Guard says it received more than 350 requests for help Tuesday, many from urban areas in New Orleans, but also from along the Mississippi coast, where people were stranded on rooftops due to severe flooding.

 

Additional Coast Guard small boats and cutters are poised to join the search and rescue efforts today off the coasts of Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi. They will provide communications and fueling for aircraft and will patrol nearby waterways. -- Associated Press

 

6:40 a.m.: Plugging Leaking Levees 'Engineering Nightmare'

Louisiana's governor says trying to plug the leaking levees in New Orleans is an "engineering nightmare." Kathleen Blanco said workers will try dumping concrete barriers into the gaps to halt the flow of water from Lake Pontchartrain that's filling up the city like a bathtub. Sandbags alone aren't working. She told NBC the levee repairs and rescuing people are the top priorities, and she said the refugee center at the Superdome must be evacuated. She's also addressed the looting problem, saying authorities intend to restore law and order. -- Associated Press

 

6:10 a.m.: Oil Will Be Released From Petroleum Reserves

Energy Secretary Samuel Bodman says the Bush administration will release oil from petroleum reserves to help refiners affected by Hurricane Katrina. -- Associated Press

 

5:43 a.m.: Katrina Biggest Effort In Red Cross History

It's being called the largest response to a natural disaster in the history of the American Red Cross. Spokesman Peter Teahean says the agency will prepare half 1 million meals a day and deliver them to people in Gulf states hammered by Hurricane Katrina. And it's bringing water, which Teahan says is "like gold" right now. He says the federal government expects that at least 10,000 storm victims will need government shelter for weeks, months, or even longer.

 

Target Corporation says it's donating $1.5 million to the Red Cross and the company will aid in the distribution of water, ice, energy bars and bug spray in the disaster zone. -- Associated Press

 

3:22 a.m.: Destruction Will Likely Lead To Katrina's Retirement

Hurricane Katrina is a storm many victims would like to forget, and while that won't happen any time soon, the name itself may be destined for the scrap heap.

 

The widespread destruction and deaths caused by Katrina are likely to lead to retirement of that name. The final decision is up to a committee of the World Meteorological Organization. But the National Weather Service notes that names are usually dropped if a storm is so deadly or costly that future use of the name would be inappropriate.

 

Sixty-two names have been retired so far, including Charley, Frances, Ivan and Jeanne last year. If there is a "K" storm next season, it would be Kirk. -- Associated Press

 

3:09 a.m.: Initial Hurricane Recovery May Take Months

It may take months before insurance adjusters can begin to get a handle on damages from Hurricane Katrina. One expert says he's basing that estimate on Hurricane Andrew, which until Katrina was ranked as the nation's costliest natural disaster.

 

Mark Hagan, who chairs an insurance industry group in New York, says counting up hurricane damage may be the least of the Gulf Coast's worries, since construction contractors may be in high demand, but short supply. Hagan also says hurricane survivors will probably keep taking it on the chin, when insurance companies try to recoup some of their expenses by raising premiums.

 

Risk assessment firms say the damage from Katrina could be up to $25 billion. -- Associated Press

 

3:00 a.m.: Bush Returns To Washington Today

President George W. Bush is hurrying back to Washington Wednesday to coordinate the response to Hurricane Katrina. He's cutting short his Texas ranch vacation so he can return to the White House and chair a meeting of a special emergency committee. He will visit the storm-hit areas later in the week.

 

The president says he wants to ensure federal, state and local officials do what they can to help Gulf Coast residents "get back on their feet." Plus he adds, it's clear there's "a lot of work to do."

 

Meantime, the Department of Energy has now received formal requests for crude oil from the nation's strategic reserve to replace production lost to the storm. However, it's unclear when Bush might approve the request or how much oil would be loaned out. -- Associated Press

 

1:05 a.m.: Houston's Reliant Park Offered To Saints For Home Opener

Reliant Park could be used for the New Orleans Saints' home opener if the hurricane-damaged Louisiana Superdome isn't available. Stadium president and general manager Shea Guinn offered the stadium as an option to the NFL, but as of late Tuesday night, had not heard back from the league.

 

The Saints are supposed to play their home opener Sept. 18 -- the same date the Houston Texans play the Pittsburg Steelers at home. Guinn told a Houston television station it would be a lot of work and a challenge but the circumstances are extraordinary. -- Associated Press

this shit's just WRONG..

 

Children's Hospital under seige

Tuesday, 11:45 p.m.

 

Late Tuesday, Gov. Blanco spokeswoman Denise Bottcher described a disturbing scene unfolding in uptown New Orleans, where looters were trying to break into Children's Hospital.

 

Bottcher said the director of the hospital fears for the safety of the staff and the 100 kids inside the hospital. The director said the hospital is locked, but that the looters were trying to break in and had gathered outside the facility.

 

The director has sought help from the police, but, due to rising flood waters, police have not been able to respond.

 

Bottcher said Blanco has been told of the situation and has informed the National Guard. However, Bottcher said, the National Guard has also been unable to respond.

You spun it racist, not me. I didn't say a thing about white/black relations. You fuckin suck at debates, bruh. Your facts are backed by weak opinions and personal hatred. You call someone ignorant based off of their grammar alone, when I probably have a higher college education than you, and will very soon be working on my Masters. Your original post sucked so much, it had me vivid. There really is no need to read it, I can recap it for you: You don't want poor, homeless, hungry people breaking in your peoples homes (as if they are in any fucking condition to even care at this point) stealing their prized possessions, Walgreens is sad that their drugs and money is gone, "niggas" means i'm an ignorant dumbass, people from the hood don't have enough sense to evacuate (see my post regarding them having nowhere to go) and I'm a racist. I think that pretty much covered the complete bullshit you spewed.

 

Bruh, you are a covert racist, period. You got "black friends" i'm sure, but in the end, you would rather be with your own people, the white kind.
