"They won't just let these people leave the dome right? When will the national guard be here?????"
 HAHA Im sorry I understand your pain, but are you really watching the news and paying attention to the posts on here. You can see on the news that the gov can not contain everything

Why would they not be free to go where they will? They may be refugees but they are still Americans.
Still, I'd sleep lightly if I was you. |

My understanding is they are given wrist bands and can come and go as they please. They aren't prisoners so they can't keep them there. I'm worried because a majority of these folks have nothing left so what do they have to lose? |

That was their first mistake. I'm just saying that since they aren't criminals (yet) whether they put themselves under the care of the gooberment or not they ARE still free and retain their rights. |

On the other hand, a friendly welcome and a bit of sympathy might be all it takes. Four days in the PooperDome would have me on edge. A welcome would go a long way to defusing the bomb.
Still, one eye open. |

The problem I see with letting them go free is saturation. We can not handle an excess 2-3k homeless people in a radius of walking distance from the dome.

You guys need to show a little compassion. These people just lost all stability in their life: their home, belongs, and even family members. In many cases, they got on the bus not knowing where they were being taken. Just because they’ve sought help from the government doesn’t make them all ingrates. You’re treating them as if they’ve been infected with the plague. Sure, they may be from a lower socioeconomic level than yourself, but that doesn’t justify your ill treatment of them.

This is really a great opportunity for you to open your heart to some people who've really been through hell. I am serious. If you can, do something, anything. Buy a pizza, give them some blankets or clean old clothes you don't need any more.

Some of those fine upstanding evacuees earlier pulled a carjacking after being brought to Houston. They took a car of a volunteer bringing in supplies to help them. Many of these fine citizens are also gang members. There were reports of rival gangs fighting in the Superdome, these same people are now in Houston. And there were reports of women being raped in the Superdome, one of which was reportedly a child. Another woman was raped so brutally that both of her ankles were broken by the bastards holding her. I am willing to show compassion. But there are plenty of criminals in this crowd also, so my distrust of them would remain very high if they were in my area. It might be the healthiest thing to do. |

You should be pretty safe. I doubt looters would want to raid a bunch of college dorms however I'd still keep one eye open at all times. In fact, I'd just hunker down with all you've got at the ready until things clear up. |

On Fox news, these upstanding member of society also raped 2 little girls 9 & 10, and I think the said they murdered one of them.

Point being? I have watched over one hour of live coverage by the local news to past 1 oclock this morning. Saw 2 fights and groups of screamers. The pics you showed are simply the MINUTE minority. As in less than 0.01% Anyone think of mentally insane. No idea what meds they take. |

NEW ORLEANS (AP) - New Orleans descended into anarchy Thursday as corpses lay abandoned in street medians, fights and fires broke out, cops turned in their badges and the governor declared war on looters who have made the city a menacing landscape of disorder and fear.

You're absolutely right. So lets just discriminate against all of them. Let Mr. and Mrs. Heinrich deal with it themself. You're a true American and should be proud of yourself. |

The point being????……… Well, the news networks are majoring on the looting, but thousands of perfectly decent people like Mr & Mrs Heinrich are also caught up in this. I'm seeing coverage from all over the area and away from the Superdome and NO it seems to be a case of people wading in to help, Gulfport and the mall townships along the coast for instance. |

Vito, there were hundreds of pictures on that site. Here are a few that I quickly pulled up...that are representitive of most pics there:    Some of the refugees would scare me if they were wandering around my neighborhood at night, with nowhere to go. |

On top of compassion, you should learn some respect. Don't talk to me about poverty and lawlessness. I walk and drive through some of the worst streets in our country, I know how these people think and act. You on other hand, have already demonstrated your ignorance regarding such matters. Go back to watching TV and gathering your facts from the liberal media. What you've been fed, and what your whole argument is based on is biased. |

Did you read the part where I live right down the street from the dome? The coverage I saw was basically a guy with a camera. Local media. Not CNN turdbucket. Thats great you live in the slums but i don;t and don't want lawlessness around here. WTF is your problem? Keeping these people contained is a good move for everyone involved. |

I worked in these neighborhoods when I lived in NYC , my store was constantly getting ripped off by "wilding" local kids, I was assaulted with threats of murder at the peak of cracks popularity, I don't trust them nor believe in PC. I have facts to back up my shit and there was no flood going on either. |
