I totally agree with you Nic on a lot of that when it comes to becoming rich, but I mean more welfare families becoming middle class. For example, I graduated from high school with a good friend in the same class year at another public school. He walked out the door just like myself. He graduated from his school and you know Nic he never even learned how to read? We were in school so long and he joked and never paid attention while they let him, and they let him advance all they way until they killed him from neglect one night 2 years later on Paseo in a drug deal gone wrong

Hey J and Nic, you both now each other, well kinda. J, Nic helped Jeremy body drop his square body S-10 in Olathe. Nic, Im pretty sure you know Justin, he's got the doored Tacoma in KC thats been "under construction" since I was in diapers. (just a joke, me and j are the same age).
Nic, I was the one that laid underneath that huge fucking Excursion at Slambo 2 years ago and let it drive over me. I was down with all you IV ever guys with Tim Stafford.
Me, J, and Timmy are now MODIFIERS.

I found these pages, which you might find informative, though possibly appalling (especially a comparison between the first one and what we've been hearing non-stop in the mainstream media).
Here is a timeline of events regarding Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans, and rescue efforts:

Here is one woman's viewpoint on lessons learned from this disaster and its aftermath:

Here is an essay which sheds some light upon differing mindsets, and it's probably NOT what you think:

Got ya. I lived up in KC for few years, school at DeVry over by grandview triangle. Relocated to Wichita for work. Ya I helped lay Jermey's S-10 on rockers few years ago. Off top of my head can't put a name with a face/truck, but I'm sure I've met ya? It's a small world, I'm sure we'll run into each other sometime.

Forgot to add this. Newsweek has a good writeup. It doesn't really point fingers but really states by a timeline a story of by facts, what happened. Overall, yes the government's leadership is in question and response time is sadly slow, which the media is now eatting up in all their stories. Just sad that all the poverty, un-educated, unfinancially stable people had to suffer and die.

That's not a TIMELINE, it's an ARTICLE, and considering the source, practially an EDITORIAL.
For instance, that Newsweek article basically STARTS on Sunday, August 28th, ignoring much of what preceded that:
"FRIDAY, AUGUST 26
Afternoon
Dozens of local, state, and federal disaster officials meet to discuss FEMA Disaster Declaration No. 1601 that was issued as a result of tropical storm Cindy damages that occurred in July.
They also briefly discussed Katrina

I posted the one I found from newsweek which I agree is an editoral rather then a timeline, then read the one you found. That is a timeline and the author of that site is looking for links and facts. That is a good site and wraps things into perspective.

I am a Sheriff's Deputy who is part of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness in the New Orleans MSA.
Mayor Nagin has been speaking furiously about the lack of everything from the State and Federal Government. Here is some info:
1. There are two States here. Louisiana and the City of New Orleans/Orleans Parish. Always has been and always will be. When a State Law passes, Law Makers ALWAYS write whether Orleans Parish wil allow the Law or not.
2. When the MSA (Metropolitan Statistical Area) meets for Disater Planning and Equipment Purchases (6 times a year for the last 15 years), we all agree how we will spend the Federal Money as a team since we are in this together. Orleans DEMANDS they will choose how they will spend their portion.
3. During Communication Infrastructure Planning we ALL (N.O. MSA) purchased Satellite Phones. We all pay several hundred dollars a month as a "Just In Case Measure". Orleans said their Infrastructure was TOP NOTCH and the money would be better spent on Ford F-150 Pickup Trucks. I dunno what they bought, but it wasn't sat phones.
4. The looting, Rape (Newly Wedded European Woman who was raped and beaten as well as MANY others), etc. That is life in New Orleans. Why people find New Orleans a romantic, cherishable place is beyond 90% of all Louisianians. It is Hot, it Stinks, Non of us even go into New Orleans without a sidearm and we prefer to leave our women at home. Rape's, thefts, and murder in New Orleans are as common as a High Speed pursuit in California.
5. When we enter New Orleans to issue an arrest warrant, the SCAT (Street Crime Arrest Team) is ALWAYS present. Me and/or other officers have been part of 18 arrests in New Orleans and been shot at 17 times. 11 of those were with AK-47's and 3 of those 11 had two 40-round clips taped together.
6. Even before Mayor Naggin took office the Fed's and State were never allowed to do anything to improve New Orleans. New Orleans ALWAYS wanted the cash to do their own improvements, their way.
7. There was no way in Hell the State was gonna make a move until New Orleans asked for help. There was No way in Hell the Fed's were gonna make a move until the Governor asked for help. That is Law.
8. The people looting and shooting have it better than ever. Those areas are known for people living in crappy homes without electricity. Now they have some flood water in their home. They stole guns, ammo and food. They have never had it so good and don't want to leave.
9. The people whining the loudest about racisim are the same people who always whined about racisim.
10. Jefferson Parish President Aaron Broussard declared martial law Monday Night. Mayor Ray Naggin didn't want to alienate any refugees and allowed all this to happen. We sent officers in to help. As a report of an officer being shot and supplies and boat stolen we BEGGED Mayor Naggin to pass Martial Law. NOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!! After 2 days, Our department left New Orleans to die, then Mayor Naggin decided to declare Martial Law.
In our own Parish, we have arrest several refugees. We have recovered stolen Corvettes, Escalades, Mercedes Benz, BMW's, etc. A young black female ran over one of our officers. She was driving a Nissan with a VIN from an Oldsmobile 88 and a Plate from Alabama registered to a Ford Van. An elderly white man died because our Hospital was unable to fill his Oxygen Bottle. Refugees have stolen an EMS Generator at the Mobile Command Center. Refugees have stolen an Entergy Truck trying to restore power. Most Parishes are out of gas at all stations and most of us cannot drive to work. All gas stations have a 15-20 minute wait for gas. Some stations are selling only 2 gallons per customer. One station raised prices to $5.64 a gallon. The owner refused to lower prices, we promptly hooked him in the cuffs and dumped him in jail. There is tons more.
Mayor Haggin had years and so did his predessessor's to prepare, but they refused and they refused everyone elses help. Now he is bitching because no one is coming and everything is falling apart.
The media is asking why was the State and Fed's not prepared, New Orleans NEVER allowed us to hold drills. All other Parishes and Baton Rouge have drills just for this. The media is asking why no help is coming for the dead. Their Dead, we are only worried about the living. We are tying the dead to a tree or pushing them aside in an attempt to save the living.
I say, if you want out, we'll get you out. You wanna stay, then stay. I think we should let New Orleans die and REBUILD the National Infrastructure somewhere other than a damn Bowl.

its kinda hard to "help" people when they had time to get the fuck out and are shooting officers in the head for trying to help................what the hell do they expect? if they act like animals people are going to be less eager to help. plain and simple. if these people could have acted in an orderly fashion then things would have been a lot better off. but i have never been through a hurricane...............
