:P I'm a little disgusted in what I have seen on TV and yes I have watched a lot but wow they are not even dropping water or food to some of these people, and they cannot say its unsafe everywhere because of the crazy looters and snipers as all the news people look very alive and well.

Lots of people are sending some very angry emails into CNN and I can see why there is something very wrong in this, where is the real help these people need they keep saying its coming but no one arrives its really heatbreaking to watch all of this, donating money is good but donating for what? To watch on TV an old lady dies in her wheelchair because she simply dehydrates from no water :(

2005 a civilized country and to see this is so very wrong

its times like this when I see how filtered the British Media really is... they showed Iraq's side of the war (somewhat), but aren't showing us anything to do with New Orleans...

Man I really hope that the living survive this! I heard a sad thing that there were bodies floating up like ones not even deaths caused by the storm! This is like the biggest thing since the tsunami. Everyone that isn't in the hurrican should be very thankful right now.

This is just total bull****, these ppl NEED TO WORK TOGETHER!

Rescue Operations stopped due to 'Urban Warfare'. Rape & murder rife + police looting

More News on the New Orleans situation...

Here is just some of it:

http://www.cnn.com/2...index.html#fema

The director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Michael Brown, said his agency was attempting to work "under conditions of urban warfare."


One displaced resident at the Louisiana Superdome said [sic] "They have quite a few people running around here with guns," he said. "You got these young teenage boys running around up here raping these girls."


Elsewhere, groups of armed men wandered the streets, buildings smoldered and people picked through stores for what they could find. Charity Hospital, one of several facilities attempting to evacuate patients, was forced to halt the effort after coming under sniper fire. (Full story)


http://www.editorand...t_id=1001051261

Some groups, the reporters wrote, "organized themselves into assembly lines to more efficiently cart off goods. Inside the store, one woman was stocking up on make-up. She said she took comfort in watching police load up their own carts. 'It must be legal,' she said. 'The police are here taking stuff, too.'


This is just crazy and sickening....

This is no laughing matter :D and I do hope you are kidding. There are thousands dead so far, and more are dying as we speak as hospitals are shut down and critically ill patients are being refused from federal triage centers. It's sickening.

Edit:

The Red Cross is requesting that if you are able that you give blood. Please if you are able donate this valuable resource to help those injured. Please give the gift of life.

Blood. It's In You To Give.
