How did you feel about the looting shooting, rape, and Police officers deserting their posts in the city of New Orleans during Katrina? When the soldiers came with water and food there were A-holes shooting them from the rooftops.
This reminds me...I read a news analysis fairly recently, past month or so, that went back to all the reports of that stuff happening in New Orleans, and almost none of the reports, from helicopters being fired upon to rape in the Superdome, could be verified at all. None of the claims that the mayor made could be backed up, almost none of the "on the spot" news reports were very accurate, and if I recall correctly, the scope of the human calamity was generally determined to be overstated. It wasn't a cakewalk by any means, but there were a lot of rumors that took on lives then.
