glued to the tube...

well, monday night the only footage i saw was of the french quarter, dry and well...even on the internet, i saw very little damage... spent ALL night tuesday glued to the tv...can't believe the devastation...can't believe the utter stupidity of my fellow man...


heard there was a cop shot in the face during the lootings yesterday, another precinct was shot up with ak47s..i'm sick..people of new orleans...you were warned, you were urged to leave...now that you are on tv acting surprised i have nothing left but anger and would love nothing more than to see the cops start shooting your looting asses..

i know you have all no doubt seen the military..what pride..fresh back from iraq and in the thick of it, risking their lives to save us again...speechless...what dedication..anyone starting to have a firmer grasp on what it really means to support our troops??

of course the local cops are suffering too..they've lost their homes...their families are hopefully safe, but now like me, glued to the tv wondering if their spouses are going to make it out of the war zone..

brutal shame...sick for humanity...sick for the stupidity...so sad for all those who left and lost but starting to believe new orleans should be our lost city of atlantis...

as for the missippi and alabama coasts, i can't help but think y'all were caught with false security. my heart breaks seeing the devastation, knowing some of those who fled new orleans may have ended up in worse fate further down the coast...

my good friend mean jean lived in long beach, mississippi...it's one of those completely flattened towns on the gulf...no cell phone, can't get thru...worried sick..depressed..


my prayers are for our military and the local police, rescue and health workers...their strength and their desire to see this through are among our only hopes to survive this catastrophic event..i also pray for the strength of all those displaced families, now with nothing to return to..
