Children's Hospital under seige

Tuesday, 11:45 p.m.

Late Tuesday, Gov. Blanco spokeswoman Denise Bottcher described a
disturbing scene unfolding in uptown New Orleans, where looters were
trying to break into Children's Hospital.

Bottcher said the director of the hospital fears for the safety of the
staff and the 100 kids inside the hospital. The director said the
hospital is locked, but that the looters were trying to break in and
had gathered outside the facility.

The director has sought help from the police, but, due to rising flood
waters, police have not been able to respond.

Bottcher said Blanco has been told of the situation and has informed
the National Guard. However, Bottcher said, the National Guard has also
been unable to respond.

This was from the NOLA website. 


Police can't get to the hospital, but the looters can? Something sad
about that.


The police are busy on rescue patrol.

How do they know they're looters?   Maybe they are parents
trying to get to their kids?   Maybe they are people needing
shelter?

Maybe they were carrying TVs?

Maybe they are looking for drugs to steal. Maybe they are looking for children to steal.
