I'm really sickened by everything that's happening in New Orleans right now. It's like something out of a Third World country. The opportunistic murderers, rapists, and looters there represent some of the worst scum on earth, yet they appear to have no shortage of left-wing defenders, who predictably spin a bunch of excuses about "root causes" like race and poverty.

The only thing that mitigates the sadness and rage I'm feeling about what's happening is the stories about the people who aren't afraid to do what it takes to defend their lives and property.

Unless I am mistaken, Biloxi and Mobile were just as badly hit.  Why are there no horror stories emanating from there?  Perhaps they are doing something right.

Aaron,

Do you have to be underwater to loot and shoot, rape and kill?

PS and set fires?

http://www.city-journal.org/html/eon_08_31_05ng.html suggests an answer to Davison's question in post 2: NO's history of corruption lies behind its vulnerability and its inadequate response.
