Hurricane Katrina Aftermath (and other stuff I find interesting)

"Today, I have two friends who are nurses, and they put on scrubs and their LSU healthcare ID’s and were able to get in. They made it to their house and were able to get some things out. They live right behind the Target at Clearview Shopping Center. However, believe it or not, they each carried pistols, and while one got some things out, the other stood on the front porch with a pistol in hand. They saw a couple of people walking down the street with shopping carts – I suppose seeing what they could get. As of today their house had not been looted, but one of the folks walking by with a shopping cart asked them how their house had fared and after my friend gave a cursory answer and showed they had a firearm, the person quickly left. Can you believe we live in times like this???"
