Gretna Louisiana. A day that will live in infamy.

On 60 minutes now.
What they did to keep evacuees out is beyond criminal.
Gretna don't like niggers.

OK, I'm sure there are some really nice people who live(d) there.
But their government sould be shamed before the world.

children who were the "criminal element" the mayor was talking about. Now they are telling us that the real terrorists are American eldery people and American children. Give me a fucking break.

6. There should be arrests for what they did.

That was pure out and out racism.

Let's keep this thread kicked. I'm nominating it.
