BS - the ones that did stay are working together the best they can - the little cases of where a few thugs got out of hand (this is out of approximately 100 thousand that are still there) got blown way out of proportion by the news media. Period
There is no anarchy - these experts and news bytes are what is needed by the media to color their reporting to compete for awards - they are not factual - and the sooner people start realizing that the rumours that were spread by the media because they heard a little story and turned it into fact - will be forgotten 10 days from now - the media could only access two points in an area the size of Great Britain - and that is all they saw other than some clips from helicopters - those 2 places being the superdome and the convention center on the river - there are hundreds of other gathering points where everything is going just fine, people are being evacuated, and everyone is working together
Please stop spreading these myths even more - and then justifying them with supposed experts on shock and awe
