NEWS EXCERPTS HORROR in the Big Easy
British
students reported the horror of death and rape The early morning blasts were a few miles south of the French Quarter and jolted residents awake. The extent of any possible damage was not immediately known. The explosions came as British students caught up in the horror of Hurricane Katrina spoke of their four days of “hell” at the New Orleans Superdome. They described how their place of refuge descended into a scene of terror as people ran wild with knives and guns, used crack cocaine and hurled racial abuse. Tourists, meanwhile, were turned out of hotels to face terror on the streets. Debbie Durso of Washington, Michigan, said she asked a police officer for assistance and his response was, “Go to hell—it’s every man for himself.” Up to 30 British students who huddled among the thousands in the Superdome were forced to set up a makeshift security cordon to fend off abusive locals ["Locals is a code word for the Black mob]. Jamie Trout, 22, an economics student from Sunderland, kept a record of his terrifying ordeal. He wrote, “It was like something out of Lord of the Flies—one minute everything is calm and civil, the next it descends into chaos. A man has been arrested for raping a seven-year-old in the toilet, this place is hell. The smell is horrendous, there are toilets overflowing and people everywhere.” Jamie, who had been coaching football with disabled children as part of the Camp America scheme, said people were shouting racial abuse at the Britons because they were white.

trail of anarchy Explosion …

were heading for New Orleans last night with orders to shoot to kill
as armed African-American gangs terrorized the city devastated by
Hurricane Katrina.
Thousands
still stranded as chaos reigns Police Chief Eddie Compass said there was such a crush around a squad of 88 officers that they retreated when they went in to check out reports of assaults. “We have individuals who are getting raped, we have individuals who are getting beaten,” Compass said. “[White] tourists are walking in that direction and they are getting preyed upon.” Col. Henry Whitehorn, chief of the Louisiana State Police, said he heard of numerous instances of New Orleans police officers—many of whom are from flooded areas—turning in their badges.
Chaos
in New Orleans New Orleans has descended into chaos in the wake of the devastating Hurricane Katrina. The following are quotes about the situation on the ground. Baron Duncan, describing the time he spent inside the Superdome: "The last few days were utter hell. The stench was unbearable. We were treated like animals. “There was shooting, our lives were in danger. A seven-year-old girl and an eight-year-old boy got raped." Audrey Jordan, who sought refuge in the Superdome: "We are lost. We are [white] tourists. We don’t know how to get around, how to protect ourselves. It is like being in a jungle. “People were staring at us, waving clubs [when we walked through one inner-city neighborhood]. "I was scared. For the first time in my life I thought I would die." Kelly-Rae Smith, Australian woman, whose parents are hiding on a road overpass with 40 other tourists after their hotel was flooded: "The violence is escalating. There are shootings. They have three dead bodies at the bottom of the stairwell where they are. "They have a pay phone but have to strategically plan when they go. There’s so much violence going on even the SWAT team has locked themselves in their building." CNN reporter Chris Lawrence, holed up with a group on the roof of a police station in the middle of New Orleans: "Right now it’s the only safe place to be in the city. We were on the street earlier but the police said under no circumstances would you be safe on the street. "They said anybody walking in the streets of New Orleans is basically taking their life in their hands. "As they hustled us off the street some of the officers told us that groups of young men had been looting the city, shooting at people, attempting to rape young women. "They directed some of the young women to get off the street immediately." New Orleans police officer, who asked not to be identified: "People were raped in [the Superdome, where refugees were staying]. People were killed in there. We had multiple riots." Dr. Andrew Sandler, working at a hospital in New Orleans: "It’s very easy to get from our point to the bridge that can get us out of here. The problem is that the buses that have been ordered … that were supposed to come here today … two were commandeered by FEMA and the other four, they were told that it wasn’t safe for them to evacuate us because of the snipers. "With 60 residents, the average aged 87, that have not had air-conditioning in five days, three have died and another eight—no matter how much water we give them, could expire because it’s too hot for them. "The variable I never, that I hadn’t planned for, are the snipers—in fact that nobody would give the buses, they won’t let the buses get us out."
NY Daily Post "The guardians of the public order in Katrina-ravaged New Orleans, where mobs of gunmen openly loot and rape and car jack and bus jack and peg shots at police officers and soldiers at will—and where anarchy, Mogadishu-style, is just around the corner if they’re not stopped hard and fast—must regain control immediately. They must do whatever it takes to curb the hard-core, armed, violent felons who are making it impossible to save the city. These are a very different breed from desperate citizens who are trying to get food and water. " … Who’s in charge? Random lawlessness went un-addressed in the early hours of Katrina’s aftermath, search and rescue clearly being more pressing a concern. That was then. Today, New Orleans is spinning wildly out of control, as armed-to-the-teeth killers carve out post-apocalypse gangdoms with little fear of consequences. The critically ill are under siege in hospital beds. The elderly are driven from nursing homes. Snipers fire at evacuation points. These are budding warlords. The city must be taken back from them. The members of this lawless army need to know their own lives are in danger."
The Independent (U.K.) "The potential for racial conflict has been quietly side-stepped in much of the U.S. media coverage to date, but it is also impossible to ignore. "The chaos, inhumanity, brutality worsens day by day. The government was prepared for mass hunger and thirst. For days before the Hurricane, formal government reports predicted a nightmare scenario of “Lake New Orleans.” But the government officials weren’t prepared for the "citizens" to be shooting at rescue helicopters, police, literally besieging Police stations, mass robbing and raping and murdering of innocent civilians, many of whom came to help. They had expected the citizens to act like human beings, and endure hardship, and take care of themselves and each other the best they could, to pull together in the midst of deprivation and loss. "They were wrong, dead wrong. "Not all the people of New Orleans are acting like savages, but unfortunately there are significant numbers of the African American community behaving that way. Sorry, but I have to call it as it really is and not with some politically correct jargon spouted by too many media reporters and politicians. "Many White people just don’t get it either. In the midst of the media hiding the anti-White component in all this, many decent White folks took their boats and headed into New Orleans to help people stranded by the flood. Most of the people they helped were in fact African-American. They didn’t realize that they’d likely run into heavily armed thugs who would murder them and steal their boats just as they have done to countless automobile drivers in city. "Many are now reported missing. Their bodies may never be found in the destructive sewage-laden waters. Boat jacking will now likely enter the vernacular of America much like the African-American specialty of car jacking. "If the events of horror described above can take place in the presence of reporters and police, you can be sure it is happening on a massive scale in the remote and cut off parts of New Orleans. There is no reasonable doubt about that."
