I sent this top post to several friends and family of mine who watch only mainstream news. The response was that it was all a hoax. None of my links listed worked for them and I looked like a fool. I know that this site doesn't post like that so I went out to prove it true by other notable news websites. Here are a few that back up the above story.

Absolute vaccuum of information. No way to prove it true or untrue with no eyewitnesses coming forward and no victims coming forward. Stories of rape and armed men are unsubstantiated but did hasten the relief effort.

This website has a supposed I'm going back and forth with someone in the dome, but answers with responses from someone else supposedly there as well that says it didn't happen. The one is a reporter, the other appears to be a government worker.

I saved the best for last. Police officer statement from one who didn't want to be identified gets a small spot when in this story. But the entire story is horrific. ABC news people. But not the american version.

To top it off, my mother, among the doubters, reported to me that FOX news finally had something on it. It was not the main new program, but it was the O'Reilly Factor and Geraldo Rivera Show was there onsite and provide truth to some of the stories. Why isn't this top news that this is happening? This entire horrible ordeal only happened in areas where the poor where left. To add to it, its being swept under the carpet like it didn't happen. Foreign news agencies are reporting it, but our home news stations aren't? Another tragedy is happening under our noses and the majority of the country its happening in doesn't know it. One of the major things that happened to Geraldo on fox news was that food was stolen by the police and held away from people at gun point. These people never had a chance.

Does no one recall that these exact things happened after the tsunami disaster last year in India and Southeast Asia? Women, young boys, and girls were raped and killed by evil opportunists -- some who may not have acted out in that manner ever in their lives, but given an opportunity without "society" watching, they take that opportunity to perhaps live out suppressed evil or violent urges.

I don't think it has anything to do with culture, race, or upbringing, but with the breakdown of human "self-government," if I can call it that, in times of extreme disaster.

Perhaps with some it is a way of life, to take by any means possible whatever one wants; but with others, in my opinion, it is simply opportunity that brings out this kind of evil.

Powerless? I see someone being abused to death, and I am powerless? I don't think so...oh, what this child must have endured. But yes, I can't help because God knows I might actually save the child...sarcasm... Sorry... Just angers me...

The Horror Of Katrina

jchampers - I was pleased to read your response because that's exactly what I was thinking while reading all the other responses. I know it's always easy to say when you aren't there but I know to the core of my being that the only way I'd be 'helpless' in that situation would be because I'd tried to help and been beaten unconscious. No way, no how could I sit and watch 'unable to help'.
I might be unable to help... But I'd never be unable to try!
At the very least, the victim would die knowing someone tried to help them.
Maybe it's the Marine in me, but there's just no way...

A federal judge Wednesday sentenced five former New Orleans police officers to prison terms ranging from six to 65 years for the shootings of unarmed civilians in the chaotic aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, prosecutors said.

The ex-officers were convicted in August on a combined 25 counts of civil rights violations in the shootings, which occurred on the Danziger Bridge on September 4, 2005, six days after much of New Orleans went underwater when the powerful hurricane slammed into the Gulf Coast.

The stiffest sentence went to former Officer Robert Faulcon, who was handed a 65-year term. Kenneth Bowen and Robert Gecivius got 40 years; Robert Villvaso, 38 years; and former detective Arthur Kaufman was sentenced to six years, according to the U.S. Attorney's office in New Orleans.

Prosecutors argued the officers opened fire on an unarmed family, killing 17-year-old James Brissette and wounding four others. Minutes later, one of the officers shot and killed Ronald Madison, a 40-year-old man described by Justice Department officials as having severe mental disabilities and who was trying to flee the scene when he was shot, according to a Justice Department statement.

One of the officers allegedly "stomped and kicked" Madison before he died, the statement noted. Ref. CNN
