>>Last I heard, there are women, and even children being raped in the Super Dome - 20,000 people inside and not enough cops or supplies, and none of the promsised buses to evacuate them. Man, this seems worse than the relief the Tsunami hit countries received!

From here it looks like a shot at a helicopter and some looting was a damned useful event to claim "personal safety issues" as reason for delay in moving 'security' into place.
After all, reporters from every network/cable channel are there talking from every part of the city and you don't hear a lot of shots in the background and they aren't wearing flak jackets and they aren't reporting shooting.
I've seen only one frustrated/sapped NO cop say anything about rape in the Superdome or Convention Centre.
