@NewYorker@remittancegirl@jelani9 St Bernard & Lakeview where as bad or worse than Dome & Conv Center, but reporters weren't there -
@Dr_Horne99@jelani9 True--St. Bernard/Lakeview tragic --but Jeff Parish, whose police/sheriff blocked bridge out of NewOrleans, NOT flooded -
-
@Dr_Horne99 Yes JP--they'd face several lawsuits over it. And people needed way out, not provisions -
@grivlin We're both right - both Gretna PD & Jefferson Parish deputies were involved. -
@Dr_Horne99 FYI, I have new book (KATRINA: After the Flood) that opens w/blockade of bridge by Gretna PD and JP deps. Lots on Lakeview, too -
@grivlin Hope you included Memorial Hospital. I know nurses trapped there- including those Foti wrongly accused of murder

@NewYorker@jelani9 The Katrina disaster was mismanaged by Mayor Nagin..who is not white. -
@roybiker123@NewYorker@jelani9 And the infighting between Nagin and Blanco, Blanco and Bush. Thousands suffered.
