Who are these 2000 people left in the superdome?

[terip64]

Am I hearing it right that there are 2000 people left in the superdome and that they will not be evacuated until tomorrow? I heard someone on CNN say that they were going through their bags looking for things that were too new and even things that looked like something that these people would not own. I swear I heard that. I also heard that the authorities were taking their liqour and cigarettes, again I think assuming that it had been looted. Can these people be the alleged rapists and murderers that we have been hearing about and if they are do they have any rights and if they aren't where are those people?

1. OMFG! If they have something who cares-the whole city is

trashed. Merchandise does not matter comapred to people!!

2. The Superdome needs to be renamed

Gitmo-US

3. Going through their bags

if they see something new and they don't think it belongs to that person, they take it. Also they are taking all cigarettes and alcohol... MFu**ers...

12. And that they were very calm and orderly? WTF?

I live in the red part of MI and believe me these people would not be orderly if you tried to take their cigarettes. Makes me feel as if these people are so beaten that they are submissive. We are going to have to remember exactly what happened or people are going to try to say it didn't happen this way.

15. Jeezus H. Christ!

These folks have been through hell and they can't even have a smoke? If'd I'd been through what they have, I'd have a smoke and a couple of shots at least!

4. CNN just said

5,000 in the superdome and 20,000 in the convention center.

5. turn off the damn box

and get real. So they might have a pack of fuckin cigarettes. Big damn deal. Now you think they are rapists, etc.

Did it ever occur to you that they might be the sick and/or diseased people that cannot be moved or perhaps those that are about to die or maybe those 2,000 people are already dead. :grr:
:argh: :argh:

10. I think you are probably right

I think that I may be going crazy and should go watch a movie or read a book. I just can't seem to get away from it.

6. CNN just said there will still be some people left at the Convention

Center by nightfall and they will have to wait until tomorrow. I do see some porta potties in the background though. And at least they have food and water. But to me, they should have delivered all that stuff by Tuesday.

7. They took out the infirm and elderly and critical cases first

these are the people well enough to wait

9. In a place that has to stink and be very unhealthy?

8. Did anyone else hear it?

I only heard it once on CNN and they didn't make any reference as to who these people were or as to whether or not they were these supposed criminals that have created all the anarchy that the press has been talking about. I am asking because I whave been wondering where these supposed people are and how they were going to be handled. I had heard in an earlier report that there where some scary people on the fourth level of the superdome. I just wonder how much was true and how much has been fabricated to almost validate or excuse the government from getting the job done. And if not WHO are these 2000 people and why are they not being evacuted NOW.

11. I heard... one night...authorities were so afraid to evacuate the old

from this group..that they sent the buses home. You know.. once the old and the grandma & grandpa's are gone..nothing psychological is stopping the odd gang member from being all out predators. That some people were threatened with murder as soon as the elders had left. They left the elders in there.

Of course we cannot separate fact from fiction here..until there is some sort of confirmation. And the innocent should be separated asap from criminal elements. And it should have happened on Monday or Tuesday if they needed the roads cleared.

Bush is a freak!
