An acquaintance of mine has an interesting theory on what is causing the chaos of looting, arson, and sniping going on in New Orleans: A fairly large percentage of the poor population of the N.O. inner city are drug addicts. With the extensive flooding and hurricane damage, they've all been "without" their drugs of choice for quite a few days now -- and they're all in withdrawal. Hell, no *wonder* they're all acting nuts. This would also explain why they didn't evacuate, I suppose -- and why they haven't done much of anything to save themselves, for that matter? Don't forget to factor in that every politician in the state from the governor on down is a crook and all the cops are on the take. Don |

Read up on how the Fed's tried to take apart the NOPD a few years back...it didn't get very far other than about 50 went to federal prison (IIRC). |
