Any word on the NOLA survivors who were relocated to a lead toxic barrack?
I tried the search engine but I can't find the DUer's post on the subject. The DUer saw activity on a military post near his home and figured out that they were relocating NOLA refuges into barracks which the EPA had claimed to be toxic. Lead paint, apparently. He said that no one goes in without wearing a suit. He got to the refuges and told them about the situation before he was forced to leave by the military.

I can't find his post. I think it happened in Arizona?

1. It was Fort Chafee...
I think that DUer said he was in touch with lawyers/CNN and they went back and got pics/video....he implied CNN was leading with it on Tuesday (I'm not sure how he could know that).

Not sure what state that's in...

4. Make sure the daytime people see this.
Someone should post to it closer to 9 a.m.

not longer with us. He's taking a dirt nap. He uncloaked several hours after those posts. I'd take what he says with a grain of salt.
I'd also beware of anyone who makes outrageous claims.

7. Oh good, thanks for posting.
Like I said above, the last update I got was the whole CNN thing.

I hate when trolls come over here trying to be clever.
