Naw Lins is a rough place...

Quote:
The Superdome had opened its doors at noon Sunday, and New Orleans' most frail residents got priority for placement. The stadium is by far the most solid of the Big Easy's 10 refuges for the estimated 100,000 city residents who don't have the means, or strength, to join a mandatory evacuation.

Residents lined up for blocks, clutching meager belongings and crying children as National Guardsman searched them for guns, knives and drugs.
