I hate to say it , but that city is full sumbags!
Highest murder rate in the country almost every other year. The murder rate was as high as 88 per 100,000 pepole in 1994, but is usually closer to 40 (the nation's average is 6-7 per 100,000)
-the city where you can drink underage and get away wit it
-the city where if you step in the wrong neighborhood you get capped for looking like a tourist
-the city where a nigga can get shot for borrowing his homies crack pipe to long
-the city that is named the murder capitol almost every year
-the city where there is like 1 nice neighborhood
-the city with the most :q:q:q:qty education period

The places where the levees failed were NOT part of the plan from the Corps as places they were going to shore up so it wouldn't have made any difference.97silverlsc said:

You are right, Hannity doesn't point the camera, he apparently isn't even watching what is being broadcast while he babbles either. The logical FLAW in YOUR argument though is that YOU CAN'T READ. The ONLY one I SAW looting something OTHER than FOOD during his dribble was "WHITEY"!

Then you must have watched about 2 seconds, because I saw atleast 20 minutes of footage of people stealing stuff. I don't want this to be a race thing, but I didn't see any white people stealing stuff. Either way, white or black, or brown, or green. Who gives a #$@@#$. They all suck no matter what color they are if they are stealing from anyone, and they deserve to be shot. And no I'm not a hypocrite, because I'm anti-abortion, not pro-life. I'm all for capitol and corporal punishment, as I would imagine Bryan is too, but I can't speak for him.

I'd shoot them in their big toe. However you want to play it, stealing is wrong. Taking food and water is one thing, but you have to have your head buried in the dike to think that bad people are not doing bad things right now. The whole rescue effort is turning into a police action. Why do you think that is?JohnnyBz00LS said:
Excellent job of demonstrating how little you know about the city. I lived there for four years and experienced a much different place than you described above... and I didn't live in that "like 1 nice neighborhood". I'd imagine if you took any American city and subjected its residents to the same conditions, the reaction and outcome would be the same, perhaps worse.

OH! Whew! Well, that's............. DIFFERENT!
I'll take back that bad thing I said about you.
Yeah, the violence down there, especially in the Superdome, is crazy. But I do NOT agree that it is a result of a "breakdown of the moral fabric of our modern society" as alot of you on the right (including Hannity) want us to believe (and that was a quote from Rev. Ghrahm Jr. what ever his first name is ... William?? .... who was interviewed via telephone last night on Fox).
First of all, there are criminals in every city. Violence and crime is going to happen all the time, even w/ no hurricane. Now flatten the city, distract all law enforcment officials w/ the task of saving lives, spread thinly over the area. Displace a million people from the security of their homes. Now you've created a feeding frenzy for those criminals. Pack thousands of hungry, homeless, desperate people into a confined space like the Superdome, w/ barely any law enforcement or food or water or sanitation so they are all fighting for their lives. Chaos is sure to ensue. Delays in getting them food, water, shelter and help, in large quantities, only makes the situation worse.
And for some of you to say that these people who didn't evacuate before the storm are stupid, you are just showing your igonorance. Most of them are poor, living below the poverty level, and have no personal transportation. HOW were they going to get out? Walk? WHERE were they going to go? Go stand in a swamp and get pounded w/ 180MPH winds?

MY grandfather grew up near New Orleans. Maybe may statments all can ge confermed yet Murder Rate is ez to find out.
yes I could see it happing here in CA : Oakland, L.A.
but again those places are have well under 200 Murders a year
just google it!
Updated: 7:20 p.m. ET Aug. 18, 2005
NEW ORLEANS - Last year, university researchers conducted an experiment in which police fired 700 blank rounds in a New Orleans neighborhood in a single afternoon. No one called to report the gunfire.
New Orleans residents are reluctant to come forward as witnesses, fearing retaliation. And experts say that is one of several reasons homicides are on the rise in the Big Easy at a time when other cities are seeing their murder rates plummet to levels not seen in decades.
The city’s murder rate is still far lower than a decade ago, when New Orleans was the country’s murder capital. But in recent years, the city’s homicide rate has climbed again to nearly 10 times the national average.
Many of the killings are related to drugs and gangs — but police say more are simply disputes that get out of hand.
Along with reluctant witnesses, experts say the city has too few police and inexperienced prosecutors. Coming up with more cash has been a chronic problem for money-pinched New Orleans, which typically lurches from budget to budget.
“As far as law enforcement goes, money is at the root of everything,” said Lt. David Benelli, head of the police officers union. “We need more personnel, more equipment. The DA’s office needs more people and money. The corrections department needs more people and space to house prisoners.”
Homicides hit their historic peak here in 1994, with 421 dead — more per capita than any other U.S. city that year. Within just five years, the number was slashed by nearly two-thirds, to 159, as homicides plummeted nationally.
Back up to 265 last year
But by last year, the number in New Orleans had crept back up to 265. There had been 192 this year by mid-August, compared with 169 at the same time in 2004. Adjusted for the city’s size, those numbers dwarf murder rates in Washington, Detroit, Baltimore, Atlanta, Chicago, Los Angeles and New York City.

According to Johnny, anybody who is an outspoken conservative is a racist. That kind of blather just saps credibility and makes him look like a wacko. Only people like Johnny who don't actually listen to Hannity regularly make those kinds of claims.
I've listened to Hannity for a long time now, consistently, and there is not only not a racist bone in his body, but neither is there a mean one. Hannity is one of the nicest, most polite, most well-reasoned, and most thoughtful guys I've ever heard on the radio. But heeeeeeeeeeeere comes Johnny calling him a racist (while leaving Colmes alone, although he's on the show too).
It's all about trying to bash conservatives INSTEAD OF trying to win in the arena of ideas. Which proves again why we won the last election, and not the left. The politics of personal destruction doesn't work. Case in point: When Johnny reads this, he will have no choice but to attack me personally, since he can't argue with the truth.

I'm sure, like any other highly populated and urban city, New Orleans has it's good and bad neighborhoods. But I have heard repeatedly, not on the news lately, but before all this happened, that the wrong part of town in New Orleans is about the worst place to be in the United States. I have also heard repeatedly that New Orleans is the murder capital. I don't want to sound racist, but I will. The fact is anytime I turn on the TV I see video of blacks looting. Many of the videos are from grocery stores, but many others are stealing clothes, shoes, anything they can get their hands on. Out of all the video I have seen of the people looting, 99.93% is black looters. That's just the way it is. It is probably due to the large black community in New Orleans that had no way to get out. Even though I hate Sean Hannity with a passion, you can't say that by watching the videos you don't see an overwhelming majority of black looters. It is a big problem and the police/national guard do need to do something about it. Having said that, there are a huge number of people, again mostly black, stuck in the city doing nothing wrong. They are starving and dying waiting to be helped. It's just a horrible situation. And I agree the people shooting at helicopters/ambulances need to be shot on site, no questions asked.

I have watched Hannity and Colmes many times and there is no way that you can say he is polite and nice. Sure, he is nice to people who say exactly what he wants them to say, and will let someone like that talk about something that is irrelevant forever. But as soon as someone that he either doesn't like or doesn't agree with tries to make a point, he interrupts them and will not allow them to say anything. And you can't even bring up Colmes as a part of that show, he is there for looks and that is it. To try to look 'fair and balanced' they put a liberal on there with Hannity. Colmes has the backbone of a nightcrawler and is there only to get pushed over by conservative powers that run the show.

First of all, Colmes most CERTAINLY isn't there for looks. Geez. Can they find a liberal who looks at least normal? Secondly, you obviously don't watch Hannity & Colmes very often, b/c if you did, you would know that Colmes gets plenty of say on the show, and he interrupts guests more than Hannity does. His problem is that often he has to take the "balanced" liberal side, which is a house built on sand most of the time, and he looks like a goof doing it. Not to mention the fact that he has no talent.
The rest of your post is just sprinkled-in rhetoric about Hannity based upon the fact that you disagree with his ideology, but it's not really based on facts.
what about shows like crossfire?? There's always another side to everything. But again, Fox KILLS everyone in ratings, and it's not just with their news show, but the political commentary shows. Explain how such a horrible show just completely demolishes everyone. And don't say it's all repugs and all that crap because the ratings demographics shows they have viewers all over the map!!!

The Fox network is the most balanced on television. THAT is why it is by far and away Numero Uno.
I know, I could understand that whole "right wing watcher" argument if the ratings were closer, but I mean it's like one show on Fox has more viewers than an entire CNN lineup. And I'm sure that's true with not just O'Reilly, the number one, but even H and C, and sometimes Greta (althoguh I can't stand Greta because she's a gossip queen, and she's a scientologist).

OK, I will address a few things...
Yes, Colmes is one goofy looking dude. He looks like a mix between a turtle and a fly to me. And as far as Hannity, you're right I don't agree with his ideology, but I did not make one reference to that. It was said that he's the most polite and nice person or something, and by watching the show it's simple to see that he most definitely is not. To me he comes off as a jerk, not because of his points, which are his right to make, but just how he treats guests on the show. And it's like that with other shows too, like crossfire. I hate that show as well. And I never said Colmes didn't get airtime and talk time, it's just that the show comes off as "The Hannity show" with Colmes as just a watered-down filler. As far as ratings, shows like Bill O'Reilly and H&C get great ratings because 1) many people love the show and watch all the time and 2) many people hate the show and...watch all the time. It's like Howard Stern in the 90's, half the people that listened to his show hated his guts.
