Reply #4: French Quarter? Then it *matters* [View All]

[wellstone_democrat]

From Texas all I hear is worry about the French Quarter and the "stranded tourists!" The racism in other remarks is astounding even for my neck of the woods but if I heard it once yesterday, I heard a 100 times "at least the French Quarter is safe!"

Guess if armed men are in the French Quarter my middle-class suburban neighbors might believe that there is a problem!

I wish that someone would care that the National Guard is missing and that it matters, but all that will come out of this is more slander against desperate people because criminals are also loose in the city. Anything to deny that no one cared that 100,000 were expendable on the day of evacuation and that the government response has been shameful.
