I wanted to turn this off SOOOOOO many times and have cried so many tears, but I had to watch it.
Aside from hearing ol' girl buck on the airport security, there were a few other highlights tha made me throw my head back in laughter:
* When Michael Knight (9th Ward resident) said they dropped water on his boat like they were trying to sink it. He said, "I bet I won't ask no mo'!"
* Fred (Johnson?) stating "I ain't 'bout that leavin'!"
* "Swamp Thing" talking about he had never seen any boats in the projects He said that the boats were looking like cars.
Can't wait for Acts III & IV.

i agree with everything you've said.
you know, i talked mad isht afterwards about the violence and the looting. this is the first time i've heard about the police chief trumping up the situation. and after really looking and hearing what those people of all races had to say, i'm like "shiiii you want some jordans, that is the LEAST of worries."
i knew about the slow response and i knew about the ball being dropped but watching this made it all too real. my eyes hurt right now from crying.
one of my colleagues at work is a former N.O. resident and just 2 weeks ago, he was telling me about hurricane betsy and about the levees being blown up and to see it all on screen is like "whoa!"
can you tell i'm having a hard time putting what i watched into words right now?
