Horrific story of rapes and murders/Reuters
So Bush is the great protector, huh?

God, the man should burn in hell for a very long damn time.
There was no reason for conditions to deteriorate this badly in spite of the disaster.

1. It says rapes and killings, but the only killings detailed on the front
page of the article seem to have been done by the National Guard and police, if you believe the eyewitness.

5. Medics from inside the Superdome reported dozens of murders on CNN
Interview was a couple days ago.

It's not "propaganda."

6. Never said it was.
I'm just pointing out that this article only talks about police and guard killing people.

2. Sickening!
How much more hatred can I have for one person?

I told my RW mother bush should burn in hell. Pissed her off like no other and she threatened never to let me back in her house again because of it. Go figure. Even dying babies won't get her to see how wicked and sick the man is. She'll just stick her nose farther in her bible.

I truly hate the man.

3. Those Charged with Keeping People Safe Kill Them Instead
Those Charged with Keeping People Safe Kill Them Instead
September 3rd, 2005

Horrible tales of “rape, murder and trigger happy guards” are coming from New Orleans. Refugees are recanting stories of utter lawlessness within the Superdome and Convention Center.

This is insane, absolutely insane! I don’t know what it’s going to take to get a grip on this, but it’s beyond anarchy at this point. The President has failed his people, the President has failed his nation.

“Several residents of the impromptu shantytown recounted two horrific incidents where those charged with keeping people safe had killed them instead.”

In one, a young man was run down and then shot by a New Orleans police officer, in another a man seeking help was gunned down by a National Guard soldier, witnesses said.

4. But nobody *asked* the NG to come!
:eyes:

I'm horrified alright, and I want to see these stories on television RIGHT NOW.

While this was happening, what was Bush doing? Oh.
