the topic is still the same as yesterday: chaos. Only now the chaos is really beginning in baton rouge. the city is running out of gas. parts of the city still do not have electricity, and it has been 95 degrees with a heat index approaching 110. there is serious talk that by next week our population will double to one million. almost all of the apartments in the city are gone, and houses are being bought sight-unseen. there are simply not enough resources to handle all of them, and i have no idea what we are going to do.
i was out and around the shelters yesterday, and it is simply unbelievable. it is really quite something, to say the least, to see your basketball arena converted into a goddamned field hospital.
the city of new orleans is now burning in some parts. 50% of the NOPD has walked of the job. those that are left have had to defend their command centers which are now being fired at by the looters. (it should be noted here about some of the history of new orleans. Nola has always been a violent city. it recently became the murder capital of the U.S. again. if you've ever taken a tour of the cemetaries, you know that those groups have to have armed escorts because of the large amount of gang activity. you may also remember that there were a number of shootings during Mardi Gras this year.) babies don't have food, and the infirmed are dying in bunches. there is an oil-spill in the gulf. and now the Feds are beginning to show up. it is not better late than never. this gigantic fuck-up has cost lives. apparently, the next time this happens the city should make sure to keep rich people there and have "York" in its name.
