Saying shit like he doesn't care about blacks is asinine... how would people settle the disputes in N.O? With their friend who was shot over a glass of water and a looted television plugged into a socket leading into a lake?

God damn, this shit happened cuz the people on NO lived in a damn bowl. My dad lived their for most of his life, and he even said that it was a disaster waiting to happen. Wanna know why people aren't out? CUZ WE HAVE NO CLUE WHERE THEY ARE! Half of NO is under water, the other half is sewage and other shit. My friend's dad is going down there to help, so don't say the government isn't helping. How bout you all get your fat asses down there and help those people day and night. Listening to how it's your fault you can't find the people when you try but can't find em.

Shut the hell up, seriously. NO had no morals, maybe now people will reconsider their lifestyle and see that they aren't the most powerful things on earth. God > Us, period. Wanna live better? Don't get an ego and think you can handle anything.

It's not racism or classism, I suppose they're saving lives by not sending marines in there to start a war over it. People'll actually shoot down the helicopters and guard the supplies with their life, if they have a family or not. Violence will be at such a new high, supplies would be a waste of money. They were fucking shootin' rescue workers. I doubt that it's racism, and it's not that we aren't trying to help.

Valenti and her husband, two of very few white people in the almost exclusively black refugee camp, said she and other whites were threatened with murder on Thursday.

"They hated us. Four young black men told us the buses were going to come last night and pick up the elderly so they were going to kill us," she said, sobbing. "They were plotting to murder us and then they sent the buses away because we would all be killed if the buses came -- that's what the people in charge told us this morning."

Other survivors recounted horrific cases of sexual assault and murder.

Sitting with her daughter and other relatives, Trolkyn Joseph, 37, said men had wandered the cavernous convention center in recent nights raping and murdering children.

She said she found a dead 14-year old girl at 5 a.m. on Friday morning, four hours after the young girl went missing from her parents inside the convention center.

"She was raped for four hours until she was dead," Joseph said through tears. "Another child, a seven-year old boy was found raped and murdered in the kitchen freezer last night."

Several others interviewed by Reuters told similar stories of the abuse and murder of children, but they could not be independently verified.

Many complained bitterly about why they received so little for so many days, and they had harsh words for Bush.

"I really don't know what to say about President Bush," said Richard Dunbar, 60, a Vietnam veteran. "He showed no lack of haste when he wanted to go to Iraq, but for his own people right here in Louisiana, we get only lip service."

One young man said he was not looking forward to another night in the convention center and wondered when conditions would improve. "It's been like a jail in there," he said. "We've got murderers, rapists, killers, thieves. We've got it all."

Four days after the killer storm slammed into the US Gulf Coast, New Orleans was still plagued by gunbattles and rapes, with gangs of looters and carjackers roving the streets and bodies just left lying by the roadside.

Residents reported survivors dropping dead in shelters or gunned down outside the New Orleans convention center. Hospitals were evacuated after power ran out and helicopters ferrying patients and babies drew gunfire.

"This is a war zone," said Melissa Murray, 32, a Louisiana state corrections officer helping in the relief effort.
