The world watches and sees the 9th Ward, New Orleans East, and the 9th Ward, and New Orleans East, over and over. These folks sat on top of their homes for a whole week after the other areas were evacuated. We hear about the white conspiracy, what happened here. Were these folks not white enough or could that whole whine be a cry for more goverment freebies. These folks worked for their homes. Most of the other areas were goverment homes. Thank you for showing the world.

Well bear in mind that about half the people in the 9th Ward owned their homes and home ownership in NOLA East was high too. The levee breaks devastated all races and classes

St Bernard sherifs dept's "street crimes unit" make up there own rules.civil liberties?hey why should that get in the way of a good collar,they enter your home without a warent and threaten you with arest if you dont comply.will stop you for nothing more than walking or riding you bike after dark.Most,not all,but most of the deputies are nothing more than criminals with badges.I speak from experence in having to deal with them.

This was once the garden district of Chalmette...

These scumbags revel in arresting any one who violates their imaginary sundown curfew, throwing people in jail for preposterous reasons. They seek easy revenue instead of justice against real criminals. In all honesty, all the law abiding citizens I know fear the cops more than the criminals. Believe it or not, they're actually (And I never thought I'd say this...) worse than the NOPD. Imagine that.

I live in St. Bernard Parish and I'm here to tell you that the St. Bernard Sheriff's Department is the most disgusting embarassment to law enforcement this state has ever seen. Do you remember all those cliched "Yokel cops out of control." movies of the 70's and 80's? No cliche, I'm afraid.

You know what they parish should do to make it easier on the residents? Put a tall grass lawn in, if they grass gets about a foot, charge them $100 a day. If they don't pay put a lien on their property and take it. Oh wait, they are doing that. Crooks!

I spent a week in St. Bernard Parish a few weeks ago for humanity and i just can't believe the conditions that are still down there THREE years after the storm. Nothing is being done by your government. I am from Canada and was surprised to hear that our RCMP force was one of the first responders after the storm. I can see that area being a beautiful place before the storm and with you all the luck in your recovery. We plan to spend another two weeks there this summer.

Thank you. I'll never forget when I went down to St. Bernard Parish...mucked all the mud out of a family's home, and low and behold, I found their most prized posession that they thought they had lost forever..it was under a mattress, it was their jewelry box, which contained the husband's wedding ring that had been missing all those months. We all cried.

God bless the Gulf Coast. May we never forget to help ALL Americans.
