Katrina
so Ive been watching the news about huricane Katrina the past couple days. its tragic and I feel for all the people involved or affected. its sad that it could have been prevented. its sad that so many people stayed through a manditory evacuation that was called befor katrina hit.
I see all these people on the news bitching cause they are now in deplorable conditions. they have no water or food and are living in unsanitary conditions. so many people that were stupeid enough to stay and ride put the storm thinking it wasnt as bad as everyone perdicted. well it was worse than everyone perdicted and the people that could have left are bitching cause they are not being taken care of. it makes me a bit sick to my stomach realy.
one of the storys that I saw was about a group of tourist that had charterd $24,000 worth of busses to get them out and to a place they could get home. 500 people waited for busses that never came. the military had comendeared there busses and sent them elsewhere. the same military that was blocking the bridges out of town. armed gards not letting people leave. why they wernt letting people out is beyond me. one would think that in an aria of destruction that was no longer safe for people totaly makes no sence.
another story that made me just want to cry was a bunch of new mothers looking for their babies. the hospitals hade evaced the babies first and all these mothers with pictures trying to find out where their babies were taken. women with only pictures wondering where there new babies were. Im glad the babies are safe but damn I would be pissed if I had a new baby and didnt know where it was. they were bussing the women to shelters not to where there babies were. the were told that they could get info on where the babies were taken after they arived at the shelters. thats shit take me to my fucking baby.
the people who are lucky enough to get on busses out are being dropped off in other towns away from their loved ones and left to manage on their own. there are some shelters but most even now days after the arival of katrina are still not equiped to deam with the thousands of people that had there lives destroyed.
there is talk that its not worth rebuilding the damaged arias due to the mass destruction. what is going to happen to all those people that are being displaced? so many towns were destroyed so many lives lost. there is no place for the dead. theya re being stacked on the streats in the hopes that they will be taken care of later. people who went to shelters are dieing there and being left outside the building for later disposal. FIMA stoped looking for survivors today. Why? there are still poeple traped on there roofs waiting for help that wont come. they will starve there with no food and no water. no beter off than the people starving and dieing in the shelters.
their is wide spread looting. ok I can understand people looting for feed and water but people looting clothes and electronics.... DUH there is no electricity. whats the use of a free tv. people who do have cached of food are protecting it with there lives. they are shooting people in the streets to keep what they have.
the senceless sniper fire on the hospitals is what gets me the most I supose. they are trying to evac people who are hospitalized but cant because when they try people shoot at them. whets the fucking point in that. ...Oh well if I cant get out no one can.... what a juvinile asinine way to think. it pisses me off that there isnt more help for those people. I know it takes time to asemble the suplies and staff to help in big desasters like this. all the people in shelters seem to think they are forgoten. left to cope with no food or water, no showers of bathroom facilities. hell its not like where thay are was ever ment to house so many for so long.
I guess Im just fed up with all the complaining from people that could have helped themselves and didnt. I understand the ones that stayed because they had sick loved ones that couldnt travel. I have no sympathy for those that were just stupid and sat back and think the rest of us should take care of them. its a tragic situation but Im realizing that even with the horors going on down south my patience for stupid people is still just as short.
I supose I should be done with my rant. I do feel bad for the people but there was so much that could have been done if most of them tryed they would be fine but instead they sit and wait on someone else to do the job for them.
love and light
