Just saw it . Cant blame the guy though he's in a very tough situation. It appears thats its every man for himself there.

I agree with what O'Reilly said early on , that if you rely on Government to protect and provide for you in an emergency you wil be dissapointed.

Yeah, that guy was pissed. I sure hope what he said about nightfall isnt true.

Just reminded me of how horrible a reporter Geraldo is.  

Screaming at the top of his lung to egg on the chief.  Sheesh, not like a little calm might be more useful.

As the Superintendant of NO's Police Department, he has one of the toughest jobs in the world right now...but he needs to maintain some composure and show some leadership.  If his officers and the citizens there see him breaking down, what hope does that give them?

Hopefully the Guard will move into that area with a heavier presence tonight.  it only takes one hot head to spark off a major riot with that many people.

On a side note, I'm glad O'Reily is bringing attention to the fact that the LA governor and LA state government are very heavily to blame for this.

I'm sure Geraldo was pissed when the helicopters showed up just as they were asking "where are the helicopters?"

Looks like Geraldo is encouraging a riot, more than trying to prevent one.

As for the NOPD Chief, no doubt it's a tough situation, but the dude was melting down.  He wasn't exactly a commanding presence instilling confidence and calm.  His job is to lead, not be the loudest voice stammering and screaming for help.   Natural reaction given the circumstances, but those that are the best in such positions elevate themselves and their organizations in such times.

Of course, it's easy for me to be critical.  I'm not in his shoes with the weight of the world coming down upon me and my personnel.

Can't blame the chief.  I can't even begin to imagine the stress is under, and I'm sure I wouldn't even handle it nearly that well.

That dude crying about racism, trying to defend a theoretical 5 big screen TV looteer, got OwNeD by O'Reilly.

Yeah, I thought so too.  I feel for the guy cause he's in a really tough position.  However, one needs to remain his composure - especially on national TV.  He almost was playing the same blame game as the rest of the "leaders" over there - execting someone else (higher gooberment) to come in and save them.  I know thats not really the case because he's kind of on the front lines actually "doing" something.  Either way it's a shitty situation.  I'm glad I'm not there, and I'm not saying I would be doing any better than him.

I saw it. He is panicked. He needs to keep his compasure no matter what. He is the HMFIC and others will follow his downward spiral if he continues. Imagine Eisenhower acting that way on D Day. It is now time for marshall law.

They're both fucking idiots.  Sheppie "J-Lo" Smith standing there blithering like a histrionic fuckhat because he's seen dead people and the feds can't beam people out instantaneously.  Apparently, to hear Blabbermouth Bill tell it, Sheppie Smith and Geraldo Capone are in charge of emergency management for the gulf coast states.

Regular ass clown circus on Fox news.


Edit: Can't spell "Geraldo".  Should be spelled with a "J" or "H" anyway!

Both he and Geraldo Capone would be better placed with, hell I dunno, CNN, Al Jazeera, etc.  I had to change the channel.  Their blithering, hand-wringing emotionalism is just too much.  It's not "news".  They're becoming part of the story instead of reporting the story.  Or, maybe the producers told them to spice it up with more wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Fucking Geraldo.  Makes it sound like George Bush should have parachuted into the eye of the hurricane, swam to New Orleans, stripped to his underdrawers and singlehandedly started carrying cripples out of harm's way.  Why doesn't he put that microphone down, shut his fucking cake hole and start carting people out himself?

+ 1...........and who knows how many people deployed who are sick of people here stateside being fucking pussies about shit..........and yes - I mean the so-called "men" who have reverted to metrosexual faggots incapable of any real leadership.

We got people dying overseas for their rights as Americans - men getting badly wounded and returning to the fight - and we have MEN here stateside who sit around and cry like little girls. WHAT THE FUCK is wrong with modern America?

what a joke that Shep smith was------- screaming like a blathering idiot at Hannity

and Hannity reminded him that "Oh by the way Shep, help HAS arrived!"

Oh......


Please. get a fucking grip, drama queen


and Geraldo waving a black baby 3 inches from the lens howling about getting these people out.
Then the camera man zooms in on Capone Geraldo to see if he will tear up again.

don't these morons realize that they are supposed to calm the hysteria not be the center of it?

Most police chief positions are political. Politicians are rarely leaders or commanders.  

The NO mayor has yet to show me any leadership or command attributes.  He spends his time passing out blame (but, then again, he is a democrat).
