The guy who started this thread:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x4042011Did so to debunk the asshat rumor mongering going on about thousands of bodies lodged in trees, ect, ect.
The mock zombie attack thread that you see above is his as well.
This is the mentality level he is dealing with over there:

205. OH but I beg to differ. One poster first claimed to have secondhand knowledge of 900 bodies
floating in the water. Then the next day he claimed to have secondhand knowledge of at least 1500 bodies stuck in trees. Said poster claimed that the source of his secondhand knowledge was SO reliable that he'd allow this person to RAISE HIS KIDS.

It's been days. If you want to prove something post it.
And while you're at it, go tape the rest of the coast. It's not just Galveston, which you would know if you really were paying attention to people's posts.
WTF is so wrong with people trying to get to the bottom of things. There's more than enough reason for people to think something very bad is getting covered up. The real travesty is people like you who would rather believe what THIS government tells you and are part of the problem by trying to silence those who are questioning authority.
Did you miss that ABCNews video of the reporters talking about the black out? The one that started with an interview with the all too smarmy Gov. Perry who couldn't stop smirking? Yeah, like there's nothing being covered up. Open your mind and your eyes and stop posting bs threads with nothing to back it up.

218. There is no video. This is a fraud.
Who in his right mind would survive a direct hit from a hurricane, and make it a top priority to read DU for several days via cell phone (a valuable object in such a situation, with limited battery power) to look at the body count threads?
I went through Katrina and for awhile had only cell phone reception myself, no Internet. I certainly did not waste it combing DU.
70 recs. What an embarrassment. Can no one here think critically?

215. I did not realize until now that you were the DUer who posted that sympathy thread pre-Ike.
"I'm a tough guy and I'm stayin'!"
"I have to stay, please keep me in your thoughts, DU."
"I can't get out."
I don't think you are, or ever were on Galveston Island. I post on weather blogs and your type is easy to pick out on those, because it comes up every time there is a hurricane. It's a special attention-whoring kind of troll. On the Weather Underground blog someone pretended to be stuck in NOLA before Katrina and claimed to have given away his airline ticket to his poor elderly neighbor -- except, oh snap, there were no flights out at that time, which an enterprising investigator turned up. It happens before every hurricane, a troll hitting the blog claiming (1) to be unable to leave, or (2) to be a tough bad-ass. None of these trolls are ever at ground zero; they are out for attention. If you are on the island, then you are a fool for making DU your priority during storm preparation, and if your cell phone is giving out, maybe you shouldn't have been combing DU post-storm looking for Ike threads. Honestly, of all the things to do post-hurricane with a limited and valuable resource like a cell phone. But I don't buy it and it is a disgrace for almost 70 people to have recced what would be an obvious troll thread on a weather site.
There are over 700 missing in Katrina. Some are undoubtedly living underground, homeless, unaccounted for, but the majority washed out to sea with the storm surge and everyone on the central gulf coast knows it. This will be the case with Ike when all is said and done.
YOU'VE BEEN PLAYED, DU.
The guy is posting from the middle of his messed up city on a smart phone with no way to upload video (And has said that ) and he's dealing with asshats that WANT piles of dead that they can stand on and crow over telling HIM that he needs to wise up, ignore his lying eyes and start buying into the interweb rumors that THEY are helping to perpetuate.
