Perhaps. I took the hyundai escapade to be proof that vehicle traffic to downtown N.O. was not impossible, and that therefore there was no excuse for not sending lots of vehicle traffic, specifically food and water trucks, or buses, to downtown N.O.

Your rejoinder to which is that army convoys couldn't have done similar things because they'd be mobbed by looters? I don't really see the logic. The argument as I understand it is not that they would've had to mow down pedestrians in order to reach the convention center and other places, it was some combination of bureaucratic fuckups, but for which the Natl Guard convoy clearly would've arrived on, say, Tuesday. Right?

So if you couldn't fit 8 million bottles of water in your trunk, stay the fuck away? Damn, that's cold.
