I read this story right on the tails of Katirna. I don't think it's true, or at least true to the report. The new twist is that now the women are "girls" and they come from Britain. I think this new wrinkle is because nobody in their right mind thinks NOLA natives would refuse to show their boobs for rescue.
In a city of a million could this happen? Yes. It probably happens every third month in NYC.
But "Ged" has no beef as far as I'm concerned. What happens in NOLA, stays in NOLA. Las Vegas is just a shabby pretender next to NOLA. Nobody goes there to study bible lessons.
Some police looted, abandoned their posts, and acted poorly. I'm sure many more "volunteers" enacted their own brand of opportunism. This story is an outcome of that fabric.
If it is true, they should have just showed their damn breasts. They don't have anything special or new that several magzines and websites haven't already exposed, ad nauseum.
