YOU MAY NOT LIKE THIS VIEW, BUT IT IS AMERICA ;)

Not my view completely, but the facts are there to EXPLAIN the unruly behavior that warranted MARSHALL LAW !


75% of the residents of New Orleans had already evacuated before the hurricane,

All of this is related, incidentally, to the apparent incompetence of
