None of the shots fired at helicopters or rapes were confirmed by anyone. http://www.reason.com/links/links090605.shtml

So sending 80 officers in to stop the rapes was a publicity stunt? Or did that not happen, too?

I would like to see more discussion about the impropriety of corporate welfare as well as the Army Corps of Engineers in this disaster.  Would people even be living in this disaster-prone area if not for government underwriting of flood insurance, expectations of FEMA relief, the existence of the levies built and maintained by government, etc.?  Tracinski focused on what we traditionally consider "welfare" but these bigger questions provide deeper answers to the causes of this catastrophe.

Don't look to the New Orleans Police for help:

Steve Pilotte directed people to a X-rated site that has problems.  I hope your firewall is robust.

There is porn there, but there is also a link to a video of police officers looting Walmart:
