The government will NOT save you

Agree - local agencies should be more disgraced. The response plan for the mayor and governor was to get on TV, say "this is the big one, get the hell out" and then to get on TV and cry about no help coming.

WTF else is he supposed to do?

Believe me if any city in America is prepared to take on unruly mobs it's NO and they have been completely overwhelmed. Getting 1.3 million people out of a city with 2 major hi-ways in 48 hours is a near impossible task.

This is beyond a scope anyone has ever seen happen to an American city since the Civil War. The city needed at least 20K Nat'l Guard on the ground within 48 hours.

Blaming the mayor of NO is like blaming a seargent in the 1st Marine division for the problems in Iraq.
