Escape From New Orleans

In a scene out of Escape From New York the SWAT Team moved in. They had a single mission, a lone rescue...of a cop’s wife. The New Orleans convention center played host to one of the country's most terrible moments of recent history. During the flood, as we all know, the poor who could not evacuate themselves came to the Super Dome and the Convention center. The Super Dome had a plan in place to check for weapons. The Convention center wasn't even supposed to be used. But the people came after being turned away from the full Dome and sent into Dawn of the Dead mixed with Escape From New York with a little Mad Max thrown in. It became everything one could fear the end of society may bring; rape, murder, and mayhem.

It was pandemonium and the people were at the brink of collapse with no food or water for days, forgotten by their government and left to defend themselves from a society corrupted by possession, influenced by valueless demagogues, and brought up on celebrated conquests of war.

And then, guns blazing, salvation came in the form of the SWAT Team and a baker’s dozen of m4 commando rifles. People were thanking God assuming they were the advance team of the rescue. But they were the there for something else. The President's plane went down over the water city and his escape pod had fallen into the convention center and only Sgt. Snake Plissken could save him. Actually a Cops wife was in the convention center and he had convinced the SWAT Team to go get her and a loved one out. They came in, shouted her name, found her and the friend, put the white women in the center of a circle and led her out with, as I said before, 13 machine guns pointed at the dizzied citizens.

"We were aiding an Officer,” said Sgt. Ganthier.

This is my generation. I refuse to be labeled an X’er or any other absurd title that came after. You want to know when I grew up? It was when Bart told me to be an underachiever, thank you.
