I love how so many supported not helping them because of a few people with guns. They used it so make sweeping generalizations about New Orleans, now likely 10,000 people are dead.
In contrast, once the military moved in, they confirmed what reporters were saying all along, they just needed help. Of course there were risk in moving in. Of course there is crime. Would they not move into Los Angeles after a quake? You think a some people would act lawless?
Funny, everyone had to focus on the looting. Last night, it was reported that officials needed more footage of people dying and that the focus on looting was actually counterproductive.
I am from Louisiana but I would not care where in the world this was happening, I would be so dissapointed.
How on earth is Harry Conick Jr and a Photojournalist for NBC walking around the convention center unscathed yet we couldn't get any military help in?
