Originally posted by Mines SVT: At this point, do you know what would happen if this were to take place? I don't think any of the supplies would survive long enough to do any good. The people down there are so desperate for all of this stuff that this would probably incite a riot and kill a whole lot more people than it helped.
If we are going to make a difference, we need people in charge of distribution of supplies that have the authority and firepower to keep people from rioting. Otherwise you are going to have mass chaos and nobody would get helped.
Good intentions, bad execution.

I would have thought that the 500 National Guardsmen armed with machine guns that were supposedly on site would have been able to provide some assistance.
