Tonight our hearts go out to those who have lost their home or are struggling to conquer the elements they face after the devastating Hurricane Katrina.
Sadly, there are those taking advantage of the situation:
Denise Bollinger, a tourist from Philadelphia, stood outside and snapped pictures in amazement.May justice find those who need it.
"It's downtown Baghdad," the housewife said. "It's insane. I've wanted to come here for 10 years. I thought this was a sophisticated city. I guess not."
Around the corner on Canal Street, the main thoroughfare in the central business district, people sloshed headlong through hip-deep water as looters ripped open the steel gates on the front of several clothing and jewelry stores.
One man, who had about 10 pairs of jeans draped over his left arm, was asked if he was salvaging things from his store.
"No," the man shouted, "that's EVERYBODY'S store."
Looters filled industrial-sized garbage cans with clothing and jewelry and floated them down the street on bits of plywood and insulation as National Guard lumbered by.
Mike Franklin stood on the trolley tracks and watched the spectacle unfold.
"To be honest with you, people who are oppressed all their lives, man, it's an opportunity to get back at society," he said.

A fine example of how the leftist lies spewed from our universities creates injustice.
