U.S. vows to end New Orleans' violent crime wave

By Jim Loney

BATON ROUGE, Louisiana (Reuters) - With thousands of troops pouring into New Orleans, law enforcement officials vowed on Saturday to retake the swamped city and halt a crime wave that erupted after Hurricane Katrina's destruction.

Saying he was carrying a message from President Bush, New Orleans U.S. Attorney Jim Letten said police and prosecutors were ready to hunt down a small group of criminals responsible for "horrendous" crimes in the stricken city.

"The streets of New Orleans belong to its citizens, not the violent thugs who have stuck their heads up out of holes in an attempt to exploit a national tragedy," Letten told reporters.

"Not one inch of that city is going to be ceded to the criminal element," he said in Baton Rouge. "Not one inch."

A wave of looting swept New Orleans after Katrina's assault on the U.S. Gulf Coast on Monday. Storm survivors trapped in the city complained of rapes, brutal assaults and murders at storm shelters, including the Superdome football stadium and convention center.

Read the whole thing, it gets worse.
No mention of no food.  No mention of being trapped there in, then outside the temporary refuges.  The deaths, the fear, the return to Might Makes Right.  Just re-establishing law and order, something our government values more than life itself (because without law and order, there are no taxes or campaign donations).

Nothing at the highest levels for the people there, only for the scared white people watching on TV and reading the news in safety.  Only the effort to assuage the fears of the wealthy that the brown people have gotten out of control.

  I don't know whether to throw up, howl with rage, punch holes in the walls, or... what.

  Sniveling Cowardly tough talkin assholes trying to cover up the fact that they are total and complete failures when it came to helping people. They know they should have been there on day one and now all they can do is talk tough and tell more lies. By the way I have thrown up, screamed with rage, punched holes in the wall and broken down in tears. I am embarassed to be an American and embarrassed at the failure of the Federal Goverment. The only thing they can do is talk tough and show up late.

•  Wow I love your signature.

  And I think I've been at this same level of swearing and incoherency all day.  I just type during the calm points.
