Mouthpiece Work / New Orleans
FROM: saxgourmet (STEVE GOODSON)
SUBJECT: New Orleans
Sharon and I were forcibly evacuated by troops yesterday and are now with family in Birmingham, Alabama. We were allowed to take NOTHING with us, so all we have is the clothes on our back. We had flooding on the first floor in the repair shop, the showroom, the shipping room, and the office. The warehouse we had next door seems to have floated off its foundation and was partially collapsed when we left. All survivivng inventory is still in New Orleans. We have nothing with us. We don't expect to be able to reopen for at least six weeks. We don't know what the looters will leave, so we don't know what will be there when we get back. The Army is going from door to door opening houses and looking for bodies, so we expect to have everything left wide open. They were begining this process in our neighborhood as we were being loaded onto the truck that took us away. EVERY business we passed on the way out had been looted. I'll be dealing with insurance etc. for the next few days. I don't have regular internet or phone access, but wioll try to read this group when I can.

SUBJECT: Re: New Orleans
I have a theory... I think the "authorities" in New Orleans WANT looting. I saw cops on the news prying burglar bars off a pawn shop to get in. Not a home, a shop in a business area. The owner left it secured. Those guys were either looting, or they were going after 4473's (gun owners know what that is... see the movie Red Dawn in case you don't know). But my theory is they want to finish off the remainder. After the recent eminent domain ruling re New London, CT, I think they want to finish off people there, condemn, eminent domain, or seize for nonpayment of taxes as much property as possible. Then bulldoze as much as possible, and people connected to the "authorities" will be making a killing in New Orleans real estate. Just my theory... I think I need some more Reynolds Wrap (for my tin foil hat).

It is frustrating to see secured businesses made unsecure. But there marching orders are "life over property". It would be a shame to loose one more life from not being thorough. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
