Survival in New Orleans
- Thread starter Sulaco2
- Start date
I have this large pelican case that holds my "essentials". Unless they inspect the case when I enter or I am dumb enough to show off, why would they know or care?
As to my going to a shelter, I would rather engage my survival skills on my own. I would have been long gone by now with my family, guns, and copy of my insurance policies. Too many wait for the last minute and them wimper about the lack of assistance from public officials. Aren't they the ones that have been saying LEAVE for the last 48 hours? If I couldn't leave, it would still be my last choice to head for a shelter.

Why would they do that? People are not evacuating to Massachusetts you know..........
FWIW, In the shelters people are filling up in my town, people with weapons are welcome. If you look in the parking lot of my town's Civic Center, you will see rifles and shotguns on gunracks in trucks, and I have seen a couple of people open carrying. It's a non-issue. I suspect the Winnibagos have a few firearms inside as well. This is Louisiana, not California. Most people would not dream of evacuating without a gun, because it might be needed on the return home. If you are evacuating to a church or synagoge overnight though, you cannot CCW in a place of worship.

In the event of a natural disaster, the last place I'd choose for seeking refuge would be a giant government-run building with ten thousand other people in it.
I dont think guns and the SuperDome would mix. A lot of the people from the wrong side of the city are couped up there. It would not be a good idea to let the very low class/criminals have guns. Other shelters should allow it. But I think problems would arise at the superdome because of some of the people riding to storm out there.
Hope everyone on this forum getting hit by the hurricane is ok.

So everyone got searched going in - took hours to do. And now they are not letting people out until it is "safe"? Thank you, miss nanny!

Media report of police "protection" in the big easy today: :barf:
"At a drug store on Canal Street just outside the French Quarter, two police officers with pump shotguns stood guard as workers from the Ritz-Carlton Hotel across the street loaded large laundry bins full of medications, snack foods and bottled water.
"This is for the sick," Officer Jeff Jacob said. "We can commandeer whatever we see fit, whatever is necessary to maintain law."
Another office, D.J. Butler, told the crowd standing around that they would be out of the way as soon as they got the necessities."

I hate to say this but I agree with them getting this stuff. All kinds of stuff is going to hit after the initial shock has worn off.
Was watching Fox this morning and they had full coverage. The Big EZ is basically gone and the waters are still raising. The French Quarter is starting to get deeper also so with all the sewage, chemicals, etc.. going around, the medications are going to be badly needed.

Drudge Report: Cops Join Looting.
“Law enforcement efforts to contain the emergency left by Katrina slipped into chaos in parts of New Orleans Tuesday with some police officers and firefighters joining looters in picking stores clean. At the Wal-Mart on Tchoupitoulas Street, an initial effort to hand out provisions to stranded citizens quickly disintegrated into mass looting……
Some officers joined in taking whatever they couldOfficers claimed there was nothing they could do to contain the anarchy, saying their radio communications have broken down and they had no direction from commanders……
One man said police directed him to Wal-Mart from Robert’s Grocery, where a similar scene was taking place. Most officers, though, simply stood by powerless against the tide of law breakers….
One veteran officer said, “It’s like this everywhere in the city. This tiny number of cops can’t do anything about this. It’s wide open.”
Inside the store, one woman was stocking up on make-up. She said she took comfort in watching police load up their own carts…….. “
Now we know why you must be disarmed for the good of all…. :barf:

All the info you can stand on New Orleans. Click Here. There's an old NOLA saying........."We got a different way of doing things down here..........."
New Orleans has more looters than shotgun shells. The best that can be done is organize the looting so nobody gets hurt. If the goods are not taken by looters to help themselves and their families survive, the goods will be ruined by the rising waters. Law Enforcement is having major problems with communication. It will get worse, much worse in Nawlins. They are still evacuating. I think that the police are not joining in the looting, but simply trying to manage the chaos.
