My bet is that most of it will be unverifiable. Tom, it’s going to be a long time (I think) before we know the full scope of what happened at the Superdome.

First time here. I wanted to make a quick commment concerning the apparent "suicide" in the Superdome. I volunteered at the Reliant Center in Houston in Katrina's aftermath (it is a convention center directly adjacent to the Astrodome, which is actually officially known as the Reliant Astrodome, if anyone cares). I heard countless stories from the evacuees there. One man in his mid 20's told me of a man who raped a woman in the Superdome. He was subsequently tracked down by the woman's boyfriend and his friends, beaten to a pulp, and thrown from the upper levels of the Dome -- prehaps this is the "apparent suicide?" There is, obviously, no verification of this other than Jamal (the man I spoke to who claimed to witness the entire thing)and his family. Other interesting tales include one of a man in the Superdome who raped a teenager and was beaten and turned over to the National Guard. The Guard proceeded to heave the unconscious perpetrator off a bridge into the flooded city of NO, where he presumably drowned. There were many people (at least 20) who told me they tried to cross the bridge into Gretna and were turned back by the sheriff's department with shotguns and dogs. The media obviously has a responsibility to verify tales like this before releasing them on its pages. That being said, I tend to believe them. I also personally hope that frontier justice style stories are true. If these men did the acts they are accused of, they deserved their punishment. They were a waste of water and food that belonged to deserving victims. Hello to all. First time here. I wanted to make a quick commment concerning the apparent “suicide” in the Superdome.

Three uncorrected outrages and they're gone. Running short of papers. I believe in the three strikes law for newspapers. Three uncorrected outrages and they’re gone. Running short of papers.

I never watch CNN but it's good to be informed from time to time what I'm missing. Thanks. The MSM is getting less and less reliable every day.
