"Son finds body in rubble" 4 months later he returns to find her body

I cannot say how totally angry I am.

There is even a picture on the front webpage of http://www.nola.com/

All I saw was a man holding a camera out the sunroof

one is of people loading a body bag. I couldn't find the picture by itself, hit refresh a couple times and it will come up. Sorry, didn't realize they cycled the heading picture through.

I was at a library and didn't have time when I found and posted originally. Thank you.

It's been four months since Katrina and they're still finding bodies?

there is probably not a day that goes by that I don't think about Katrina and the victims. But what you still hear from this monster adm. and the media is sept 11 for the simple reason to perpetuate the continues lies.

is this the neighborhood they were going to raze? and is this why?

I heard that on the TV so it must be true. If the wave didn't kill you, you're still around.

But we let our own people die on their rooftops.

How many does that make now? Do we know the amended count of the dead?

The truth will always be something to hide or to twist when the Bu$h administration is involved. Not something to confront. And deal with in a constructive manner. We are not a country who really cares about our fellow human beings on this planet while we are being led by the Bu$h junta. Yes, some of us as individuals do. But as long as we are led by these senseless murderers, (the Bu$h`s) we will not as a whole be able to account for the dead the most powerful country in the world leaves around to rot.

Al Gore is My President

He was very upset and yelling. Said he had called the authorities over and over. He told them the exact address where she could be found. Yet when he gets to that address 4 months later, her body is there...Nobody could have properly searched that property.

My home only had an exterior search. I haven't seen many that had interior searches.

too many stories of people coming back to find bodies in plain view. No searches meant lower body counts. Lower body count makes gov. screw up look less dishonorable. This is shameful and totally intolerable. Freedom's on the march while Americans drowned, rotted, and were left without even a proper and honorable burial. This says so much about what and who we truly value.

They found every fucking bone fragment in the WTC disaster.

This is bullshit. Someone should be slapped right to hell for this.

This only makes me hate Bush all that much more than I already hate his crime laden, impeachable ass.

how people who support this administration can't see this is beyond me. but then again, people who support this administration only see what fits into their view of the godly man that * is....

It is truly sickening and telling, all at the same time.

I've been watching, and doing my own impromtu sociology. Cousins, nephews, aunts and uncles.

It's who they come in contact with. Although it's not obvious. And then there are mysterious factors. But it's a sickness. Especially when it involves ignoring or not seeing someone elses suffering.


No common sense. This is such an outrage I can only think of what Bush would do if this were Dear Barbara.

It's no different than the money we paid in taxes that could have fed THE WORLD. But it went into white phosphorus and depleted uranium and Humvees.

There's a hell waiting for these people.

while our american brothers and sisters suffered. There's also a special place there for those who focused on some looters instead of the cries of the hungry and thirsty, and for those who blamed victims for not leaving when they actually couldn't.

As I was traveling home from a holiday visit in south GA, I am sickened by the number of * stickers I still see proudly displayed on cars traveling I-75. It's a culture. It's a status symbol. It's a wink and nod said without words that "we're better than "those" people. And no matter what, we stick together." It's about disregarding reality because it just doesn't fit into what you were brainwashed to believe. And, even if you now know the truth, it's about the collective inability to deal with it, therefore, you continue ahead on the road that leads to certain destruction.

I fear and pray for us. This culture is willing to do whatever possible to maintain the myth. And as we see in the headlines, our very civil liberties are already the victims.

Pushing and shoving in order to get the date as close to the anniversary of the disaster as possible (as they did with last year's convention in New York City)? And all eager to build a big spectacular memorial with the victims' names on it so they can stoke up the memory of the event every time they need a boost in the polls?

I guess not.

they used to wipe dust from the windows, because that dust might contain human remains and funerary rites would need to be observed (I remember hearing that on the nightly news and it stuck with me.) So in New York paper towels were buried with respect and on the Gulf coast bodies were left to rot down to the bones. Hard to believe it's the same country and only four years later.

Of course, the New York victims were mostly properous and those in New Orleans and on the Gulf were generally not. I'm sure that has nothing to do with the disparity. :sarcasm:

sort of like newscasters being happy that the reason the plane crashed was because a wing fell off, not because someone bombed it? NewYorkers were killed by The Enemy. Mississippians and Louisianians were killed by nature. :sarcasm: as well as the money thing. Cynical New Year

it was appropriate-

NY was terrorism- La/Ms was torture.

Deadly, calculated, in-human torture. I am so ashamed of the suffering that was not only allowed, but excused, explained away, and continues to destroy and fester for the folks left at the mercy of its 'most compassionate nation in the world'-

Individual people did the best they could- (many did, at least) but the government fucked this up BIG TIME to our eternal shame, disgrace, and i predict, regret.

Being betrayed is not something that goes away easily or quietly.

but it was to the advantage of this political empire to claim as many deaths as possible on 9/11 because it fueled the desire for hate and revenge.

Downplaying and denying the devistating death toll on NOLA is 'damage control'- and i too hate that this not only happened, but is not being faced by the american people, and that the loud outraged voices aren't coming from the same mouths that decried the deaths of 9/11.
But that means blaming us- not some invented 'cabal' of foreign evil people "who want to harm us, who don't have any respect for human life" as bush would say- Where is his respect for his own citizens?
Where is the rule of law for those of us living in this 'democracy'??? Where is his compassion?

Empty words? Actions speak the truth, where words often decieve.

hope youre doing well-

How many more of these stories are there? That American citizens are left to rot after a disaster, while our President hands out no-bid contracts and suspends a law that would ensure a fair wage for those who would rebuild the devastated area, is unconscienable!!

If only we had a free press, they would at least be shamed into restarting the search for bodies and would be prevented from profiting from this disaster.

I can't believe what has become of this country. I will never forget the sight of bodies floating down flooded streets in the US, while Condi shopped and Bush ate cake, and Cheney was shopping for a mansion, and Rumsfeld went to a baseball game. Brownie was concerned with looking like a fashion king, and Chertoff 'didn't know there people needing help' despite the fact that the whole world knew.

I won't forget either, that Bush's aides were afraid to tell him the bad news, so people died because the bully in the WH would have thrown a temper tantrum if anyone had told him to get off his rear end and do something. Why didn't Congress call an emergency session and take over, since he either couldn't or wouldn't (wouldn't is my guess) try to save the lives of American citizens?

There are still thousands missing, many of them children. But all he can talk about is 'freedom and security' I feel sick when I hear him claim he's spying on the American people because 'it's my job to protect the American people'. I don't know how reporters can listen to that without saying 'cut the crap, we watched you turn the other way when thousands of American people were dying.' But there's no outrage, or if there is, it's not being allowed to be heard.

America's darkest days, when we abandon our own to drown, starve, and die in the flood waters of a hurricane. Meanwhile, some are more concerned with tax cuts, waging war, and keeping gays from marrying. What a totally fucked up country we are. May God help us.

Just like they had to stop counting the votes in Florida and stop counting the bodies in Iraq. Whatever it takes to make the WORST PRESIDENT EVER look good.

Impeach, and then send him to the Hague for crimes against humanity. Send the complicit, know-nothing television news people with him.

you can't come over the bridge without seeing her on the roof, he says. They returned and couldn't find her then, glad they found her now so they can at least have some sort of closure. The baby's body is still missing. This is just wrong. I know that originally the focus had to be on saving the living, but this is 4 months later, they had the address in article 2 months ago. One big thing the Katrina aftermath has shown me is how reliant we must be on our communities. And how little we can rely on the government.

Or at least front page EVERYWHERE?!?! :mad:

If there are more people dead from Hurricane Katrina, it takes away his 9/11 weapon to justify his miserable war.

But from talking to real people, even with the media protecting him, it doesn't matter. Those images for days, of people begging for help with no help coming, the sight of the destruction, children dying for want of water and old people dying before our eyes in their wheel-chairs, have had a serious affect on people. Even those who voted for him. You can't erase those images, and it has made people, who before may have believed his 'I'm looking out for the American people garbage', realize he doesn't care one bit about them.

That's why, imo, no matter what he does, no matter how many times he says '9/11' or 'terror' or 'we're fighting for our freedoms', the polls don't change much anymore. He just sounds idiotic and phony. To many of us, that was always obvious, but he's lost the support even of Republicans. No decent person can forget those sad, horrible days.

"You can't erase those images..."

The images are being erased because the images, the follow-up stories are not MSM every day. The less the aftermath hell of Katrina is NOT on page 1,2 or 3, means the less there is reason to give credence to the lives of those still in great need and how they are faring. Print no news about it in the mainstream, treat it all as an aside, the more likely people will be "shocked" in the coming days, the next year and two that things are still as bad or worse for those who survived Katrina.

After they refused to let the families back in....cover-up.

who may be saying, "Well, the flood waters receded for the last time months ago, so why didn't this man take responsibility and go to see if his mother's body was there?"

THE AUTHORITIES FORBADE PEOPLE TO RETURN TO THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS IN SECTIONS LIKE THIS. FORBADE. AS IN, YOU COULD GET ARRESTED. AS IN, YOU MIGHT GET SHOT BY POLICE (GIVEN THE RECENT HYSTERICAL BEHAVIOR OF THE TRAUMATIZED N.O. POLICE.)

four months -- and HE has to go back and find the body -- amazing.

their political lackeys
