Now you got some knuckleheads out there, and they are taking advantage of this lawless -- this situation where, you know, we can't really control it, and they're doing some awful, awful things. But that's a small majority of the people. Most people are looking to try and survive.
And one of the things people -- nobody's talked about this. Drugs flowed in and out of New Orleans and the surrounding metropolitan area so freely it was scary to me, and that's why we were having the escalation in murders. People don't want to talk about this, but I'm going to talk about it.
You have drug addicts that are now walking around this city looking for a fix, and that's the reason why they were breaking in hospitals and drugstores. They're looking for something to take the edge off of their jones, if you will.
And right now, they don't have anything to take the edge off. And they've probably found guns. So what you're seeing is drug-starving crazy addicts, drug addicts, that are wrecking havoc. And we don't have the manpower to adequately deal with it. We can only target certain sections of the city and form a perimeter around them and hope to God that we're not overrun.

Unbelievable right? I recently heard some offhand comparisons made between this jack off and Giuliani after Sept. 11th. The contrast is pretty stark. What kind of a leader runs around spouting off like this basically inciting panic? There's enough trouble on the ground, the people know how @#%^ed up it is, they're there for god sakes. Leaders should be strong and resolved regardless of the circumstance, it doesn't matter if they know the situation is bleak...they need to be giving out instructions and finding solutions.
Why doesn't this @#%^ just step aside and join the rest of the paniced masses and let Harry Connick Jr. step in to lead these people. That guy has been amazing, he inspires me and I'm not even from the area. Keep his face on TV and let him speak to and for the people, he'll do some good. Then again, a retarded dog could do more good than this moronic mayor without even trying.
At least he's being honest. That's more than I can say for most politicians. He's not inciting panic, because the people on the ground aren't listening to the news. They don't have power. They don't hear what the president and the FEMA director and the mayor are saying. He can't be a leader because he has no contact with the people he's trying to lead.
You're right when you say the people on the ground know how messed up it is there, so what does saying this to others do, except put everything out there on the table for all to see?
The guy wasn't even a politician when he got elected. He was the GM of a cable company. He was a suprise victory. I personally think he's done relatively well considering the circumstances. The comparisons between him an Giuliani are bad, because 9/11 was a pretty localized event in New York City. Here we're talking about 80% of a city UNDER water. Their city hall is 3 rooms in a friggin hotel. Giuliani still had a city infrastructure and a working government. He had resources. This guy has virtually nothing.
And Harry Connick Jr.? Are you kidding me? He's a great guy and all, and he's doing wonderful things to help, but get serious.

Well, I don't see the mayor crawling around drooling and trying to hump the ground, so I think he's doing a bit better than that.
