Thursday, September 01, 2005 Scuba Steve was allowed to call home this afternoon. He told my father so many horrible things. First of all, they have been removed from the area for their own safety. As they were on a bridge waiting, people were shooting at them and a sniper with the SWAT team was having to kill people who were shooting at them. These people are shooting at any authority figure so that they can continue the looting and horrible behavior. I guess the mindset is to steal and hide what they can so that when the city opens back up, they have enough material possessions to pawn or sell for lots of cash. Scuba Steve will leave in the morning headed home. Special tactical forces are being flown in for the next few days to try and regain control of the area. A few of the things my dad relayed to me was that as they were wading through bodies in the French Quarter, many of them seem to have been murdered and not drowned. The convention center near the Superdome was taken over by gangs last night. Three murders have been reported, numerous reports of rapes, knifings, and muggings. This is in the place where people were supposed to be safe. He said that at night when it’s quiet, all you can hear is babies crying. He said it was so sad. He also said that the Thanks for the prayers and kind thoughts. I’m sorry I haven’t been to your blogs, I hope you understand my limited capacity. We are unable to even place outgoing phone calls for the most part. I am e-mailing this post. Thanks again! Melissa
