I am so angry.
I read everywhere about individuals offering help and being turned back by FEMA.
The 1,000 citizens pulling 500 boats on Wednesday, that FEMA told to go home, they didn't need them.
Where Wal-Mart had delivered three trucks of water, but FEMA turned them back.
Where there was 1,000 gallons of diesel fuel on a Coast Guard vessel docked nearby, but FEMA refused to let local government unload the fuel.
Where FEMA came in and cut off Jefferson Parish's emergency communication lines! Sheriff Harry Lee has to reconnect the emergency communication lines! AND, he posts ARMED GUARDS to prevent FEMA from coming in again. (See Eschaton)
Where the food distribution sites that were used for Bush's photo ops were TORN DOWN immediately AFTER Bush left.
Where the photo op at the 17th street levee turned out to be a sham, and after Bush left, so did all the helicopters that were working on shoring up the levee.
This president and his cabinet goes on vacation while a city dies, and NO ONE CARES? Where is the mass indignation? It is still the left vs. the right over this issue, once again, with the right wing nut jobs all insisting, along the RTP lines, that there was just NOTHING that Bush could have done, and it's all the people's fault for being in the damn city in the first place.
This president doesn't know how to do anything but lie to the American people. A FUCKING PHOTO OP, AND THEN THEY TEAR DOWN THE DISTRIBUTION POINT FOR RELIEF? WHERE IS THE COMPASSION IN THAT? And, what's more sick, is that the newspeople covering this saw it, knew it, and yet, didn't do much about it. No stink has been nationally raised over the president's fake photo op. Nada.
I'm disgusted to the core. I'm as angry as I was that afternoon watching the verdict come in on the Rodney King matter, finding those bastard officers NOT GUILTY. I knew the streets were going to be on fire that evening.
I'm waiting for riots to start, and believe me, they will. This is just another example of how this government holds black people in such contempt. And god forbid, poor black people.
FEMA refused aid, and turned away aid, turned away the Red Cross, and has kept the Red Cross out, and forced people to stay in the city against their will. Just like a Nazi concentration camp. Run by the Nazi Republican government.
None of this bodes well for this country, and I feel a civil war mounting, ready to break in the not too distant future.
