Katrina Response Mismanagement - Page 16

Carville-jacked.

So, has anyone been reading the horrific accounts of time in the Superdome and convention center being posted by foreign tourists who are just getting home? Should I post? How about the dogs in NO now being shot to death by NOPD? Or the film of the woman being tackled in her own kitchen by "rescue workers?" Or are we just content to know that its all probably Mike Brown's fault, and since he's been fired all will be OK?

Just asking,
Snarky Snarkinson

ya, saw some video of the "search and rescue" guys on the news last night, looked a lot like a SWAT operation more then a search and rescue operation. I guess they are now forcibly evacuating people?

The authors were attending a paramedics conference in NOLA. They, along with about 500 people who had been stuck in hotels in the French Quarter, spent 2 days trying to get out. In the process, they were refused water by the national guard, lied to by the police chief simply to move them out of his sight, shot at by police from neighboring citys because "the West Bank was not going to become New Orleans and there would be no Superdomes in their City", and had their encampments purposely destroyed by the wind of helicopter blades of a chopper from said same police department.

And all they wanted to do was get out of the city, something they are now trying to force people to do.

I heard this same account on "This American Life" Friday night along with a few other eyewitness accounts. It was incredibly disturbing. KPCC (89.3) will run the show again tonight at 8:00 PM.

Well, Brownie's resigned. He did a heck of a job.

I can't find a full text report of Brown's resignation speech. I want to know what he said.

Thank God he had the decency to step down.
