"Looted" water and food...interesting use of terms. > Violence is minimal-- most people are pulling together & helping > each other Yes, that's what the media have been reporting. It's quite amazing given their desperate situation. > He's had a water & one MRE. > > People recognize him (he's a popular cult figure and author) he > reports how friendly and supportive most everyone is... trying to > keep morale high. > > Buses did turn up at the convention center yesterday but they were > without guards/support and had to turn back.

Maybe that's why they didn't all just take a little stroll and help themselves to food and water. You think? > Apparently military convoys are just arriving with food and water. That's what I've been reading. Some of the news stories are saying trucks with food and water have actually reached the Convention Center, but I haven't seen any film of it yet, so that may just be wishful thinking on the basis that they *intend* to go to the Convention Center. It looks like things are *finally* starting to look up for the Convention Center folks. But it took too f*cking long. ------------------------ Yahoo!
