As for Katrina he could of sat outside the city as did hundreds of truckers trying to bring in supplies, seems it was a war zone there, why would ya send innocents( or would innocent volunteer)to go in when people are killing each other?
Being someone who made three trips to NO with trucks loaded with essential supplies I can tell you that it was not a "war zone" but rather a "tragic zone" that required compassion and care for your fellow Americans.
The "war zone" bullshit was .. as usual .. blown out of porportion and used by the right to justify their apathy, inhumanity, and outright racism .. and the media took part in supporting that racism.

New Orleans violence 'overstated'
Reports of murder, rape and violence among the thousands trapped in New Orleans' shelters in the wake of Hurricane Katrina shocked the world.
The city's police chief spoke of babies being raped. Mayor Ray Nagin told of Superdome evacuees "watching hooligans killing people, raping people".
Now, a month later, officials say many of the accounts were probably false or greatly exaggerated in a time of chaos.
New Orleans police confirm they have had no official reports of rapes or murders in the days after the city was catastrophically flooded.
And the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals says only two of the 14 bodies found at the Convention Center and Superdome had gunshot wounds. One of those is believed to have been shot elsewhere and brought to the Superdome.
So, is there any truth in the awful image that emerged of New Orleans as a city where killers and rapists roved, even as the flood waters rose?
Or were the accounts simply panic-fuelled rumours that took on the guise of truth as they were repeated by evacuees, officials - and waiting TV crews?
'No trouble'
Capt Marlon Defillo, of the New Orleans Police Department, points the finger squarely at the media for any exaggerated accounts.
"The news media wrote those reports and I cannot tell you where those stories came from," he told the BBC News website.
"We've not received an official report from anyone regarding any sexual assault that may have occurred... we haven't received any official coroners' reports regarding any homicides."
Police chief Eddie Compass, who spoke on the Oprah Winfrey show of babies being raped, stood down on Tuesday.
He admitted in a New York Times interview last week that some of his claims of tourists being raped and beaten in the street were based on second-hand reports - and had turned out to be untrue.
And the head of security at the Superdome has also stepped forward in recent days to say reports of violence were overblown.
"The incidents were highly exaggerated," Lt Col Jacques Thibodeaux of the Louisiana National Guard told the AP news agency. "For the amount of people in the situation, it was a very stable environment."

so you know for a fact that everything in that black bag is survival supplies? i'm just curious how you can unequivocally compare the two....one has someone only take bread.....the other has a large bag....
at first blush it does look like racism, but unless you know for a fact what is in that bag, you can't for sure call it racism

SERIOUSLY dumb as fuck ..
Do you know what's in the bag?
It was reported that he "looted" a grocery store .. thus what do you think is in the bag?
At first blush .. second blush .. or millioneth blush, it is exactly what it appears to be.

so everything in the bag is 100% for survival? the author who wrote it, since he knows what type of store, might also know what he took.....
i never claimed i know, but unless you know whats in the bag is solely for survival.....how can you claim to know more than the author? how can it be "exactly" if you don't know whats in the bag....grocery stores sell more than food now a days....

I have no interest in arguing the GLARINGLY obvious with you.
You don't get it .. you just don't get it.
... and you wonder why you're seen as the racist party.

If they went into a store and took items without paying, it was looting. Whether it was justified or not is another matter.
The fact that the author didn't know what either set of people had in their bag or backpacks does show racism. There is no doubt of that.

Mayor Nagin was a waste of skin then and is a waste of skin now.
The Gov. of LA had to formally ask for federal assistance before any military can be used in the state. She did not make that request until after the levees had burst.
You are absolutely correct in saying that Nagin and the gov should be held responsible.
Oddly, Nagin was reelected.
