B.)As usual, I resent the implication that you are now, or ever have been, in any way...censored. Lebell, myself, and the other moderators have an obligation to kepp these boards as "clean" as possible, while still stimulating healthy debate. He is no more "free" to post what he wants, than you are. What he may be, is more judicious about it.

I vehemently disagree with the accuracy of the observation that throroughly documented reports of police from a neighboring parrish of N.O., blocking pedestrian traffic, at gunpoint and with attack dogs, from passing over a bridge that was in close proximity to the superdome, at a time when doing so would be reasonably considered by many to be a cruel, unusual, inhumane, and, taking into account the conditions that small children, the elderly, and the infirm were subjected to at the time, criminal action.....have been "hashed, rehashed," etc.
I have provided links to reports of this abuse of authority from both Foxnews via video, and ABC, via audio. This is an alarming and distrubing news story, made even more so if one watches the video and clicks on one of the links to the map that demonstrated the close proximity of the superdome to the bridge out of N.O. Please point me to where I can find this information readily available elsewhere on this forum. If I've missed it, I am sorry to present it here again.
On edit....a search of this politics forum, using the search term, "Gretna", yields, aside from my posts in this thread, only a result from a post about last fall's election. Is this not a news story with implications weighty enough to merit a unique thread? I would not have believed, two weeks ago, that police and dogs would be deployed for a lengthy time period in any location in America, to effect such a distressing experience on our fellow citizens.
