Agreed. Turner is not just nuts - but a racist bigot.
Definitely
Klan material.
Yes, and so much worse than those non-racist bigots we used to
have.
If you are implying the two words are synonomous, that is
incorrect. A racist is a subset, but in fact the great majority of
bigots are not overtly racist. Case in point: the term 'bigot' is
most often applied these days to religion, but even the most
ardent religious bigots, like Pat Roberstson and the other
televangelists, are seldom racist - in fact these religious bigots
often make open attempts to publicly demonstate non-racism. Their
private opinions may be another matter.
Did anyone else happen to see the eyewitnesses say that it was
an
untethered barge that ran into the levee and broke it? Or was
that
a different levee?
No same levee and thanks for mentioning this. Here is a report:

And this makes a lot of sense. Barge (mass 500,000 kg??) strikes
levee, levee breaks, water gushes in to already saturated streets,
knocking down some utility poses, trasnformers explode, water
builds up further and is noticed shortly thereafter by residendes
some few streets away from the levee, who cannot see the barge.
Residents now believe that the explosion, not the barge was the
cause of the breach since they heard the explosion before they
noticed the rapidly rising water.
