they are all gonna die in nawlins for one of these reasons...or maybe both? notice how different the response has been between sept 11 with big explosions and lots of white ppl dying and the flooding nawlins with niggers looting on tv 24/7. whats the story?

You are absolutely right.

Time for the USA to step up and embark on The War On Weather! :icon33:

I don't remember any televised looting after 9/11.

so now there's sniper fire at hospital evacuees... and you wonder why there's a difference between 9/11 and now...

Nope, it was done with smoke and mirrors.

The biggest difference is the percentage of poor between New Orleans and New York City.. There was some looting on 9/11 on the news, but the damage on 9/11 was pretty much limited to 5 square blocks or so... in general..

The devastation for the hurricane damage is hundreds of miles. 80% of New Orleans is underwater and the majority of New Orleans under the poverty levels, it also just so happens the majority of New Orleanians are also black.

The disaster area for the hurricane is 90,000 square miles. Lots different in security and news coverage.

Holy shit you're right. I was browsing the hurricane forum just half an hour before I went to see land of the dead. I just returned and now it's gone.

Guess they ran out of fuel.

BTW everyone who survives New Orleans and goes to see Land of the Dead will probably have some flashbacks.

I'm pretty sure, yeah. There was a sticky thread in GBS about it.
