Evacuees in Astrodome: The 17th street levee was bombed, food not being provided...

why should these people be treated like criminals and lose their freedom because of a hurricane...? the neo-cons can justify it...but can anyone really justify it?


Evacuees in Astrodome: The 17th street levee was bombed, food not being provided, we are trapped like prisoners, 20 rapes a night in stadium

Report from the Houston Astrodome...

10:23: Joel just got removed. Almost arrested. Fox News is down on the floor. Iâ??m in dome, hiding in seats. Theyâ??re allowing some media on the floor, not others.

10:31 Just met members of the Polish press, they are being stopped from entering floor. Says this is like the former USSR.

10:57 Raw transcript of comments by NOLA evacuee : "The 17th street levee was bombed by the Army Corps of Engineers to save the more valuable real estate in the city... to keep the French Quarter protected, the ninth ward was sacrificed... people are afraid to speak out... everyone who was near there heard the bombings... they bombed seven times. Thatâ??s why they didnâ??t fix the levees... 20 feet of water. Gators. People dying in water. They let the parishes go, not the city center. Tourist trap was saved over human life. A six year old girl was raped in here.. 9 year old boy killed. A man in the shower beaten. No hot food. No help for elderly."

Another evacuee: "Over 20 rapes per night happening inside this place. They bring in national guard for media purposes. Bush wants us to stay here to raise his ratings. Some workers are stealing the good stuff, like shoes."

11:16: Rough transcript of comments by NOLA evacuee, male: "We are treated like prisoners here. Placed under mandatory curfew. We are citizens!"

11:22 Now Iâ??m speaking to someone else, another woman, who says some people report having witnessed "bomb sounds," believe 17th street levee and others were blown up to manage water flow and protect more valuable portions of real estate.

Evacuee: "They blew the levee to save the city..." Saying a barge broke the levee. She is from St. Bernard Parish. "More expensive places were saved at the expense of the neighborhoods that arenâ??t as valuable... Rebuilding Bourbon Street matters more to the government... thatâ??s what mattered to Governor Blanco..."

BWWWWAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!


I just fuckin' knew there was going to be a conspiracy behing this!! Great confirmation on that gothhead!!! :D

This is a funny, if not totally false story. As for Food/Water, YES it was OUTSIDE of the Superdome, but LA State/Local Officials wouldnt let the redcross inside to distribute it, saying it was too dangerous inside. but I bet you leftist rebels find a way to blame bush for that. OH..and lil information...LA Gov/New Orleans Mayor = DEMOCRATS!

Actually, it was FEMA that wouldn't allow people in. C'mon, why do you think Brown was removed?

And a little more information: Nagin was a REPUBLICAN 'til he decided to run for mayor. Guess he wanted more of the black vote.

Take your ininformed, racist ass elsewhere.

Reports of this have come out of San Antonio as well.
