    you'd make a perfect drone-you're racist, you don't care about people, and you're obviously an idiot.

    so it's a good idea to keep throwing millions and millions of federal dollars at people,
    the majority of which are able-bodied and perfectly capable of working, 4 years after the fact?

    not minimizing the initial need for funds by any means, but 4 years is a long time
    to still expect government hand-outs.

    and it certainly doesn't promote much incentive or motivation either.

    Yer why waste money on people when you can spend all your money on wars to feed your countries insane lust for power over pretty everything that breathes on this planet

    Some services were not granted until the past 6 months. Also, the author noted that some people still in need of care were disabled or elderly.

I dont think so . You can take a thug out of the ghetto but you cant take the ghetto out of a thug. some these people were nothing more than criminals and they wiil try to get as much money from the govt. for as long as they possibly can.

    Thugs and criminals. I remember thinking that this was why America allowed the people of New Orleans to sink - something about racism and a failed, corrupt government and media.

    there was one incident of a large group of people, about 40, being turned away from a navy military base-as armed guards pointed loaded weapons at them. women and children....all turned away to sleep on sidewalks. and the base was nearly empty, it was in the process of being closed down. thousands of empty dorm rooms. "oh you're poor? go away."


    fight the war, fuck the poor.


    Actually, I just watched that on HBO the other day. It was a doc made by some people who lived in the 9th ward I think. Anyway, yes they did get turned away and I agree that was shitty as hell. Again, the military says they never pointed guns or anything at them. Remember they recorded the storm, after the storm and when one of their friends was rescuing people but they didn't have that on tape?? Makes me think the guns pointed never happend. Again, they should have been allowed in. They then broke into a school and slept in there.

    With that beging said the people in that doc left N.O never to come back, they never want to come back basically saying because of the way Louisiana treated them. The couple in the Doc basically said it was time to leave and time to start a new life.

    It was a good story, if you have a chance try to catch it on HBO.
    Thats a lovely accent you have. New Jersey?

    The documentary Commy posted was very good. We all saw the flood scenes on the news but the footage in that video takes it to another level. Not many people could make it through something like that without suffering some serious mental damage. The woman that filmed the video had already seen some horrible things in her lifetime and had been through some sad situations. Nothing but respect for her...

    The military base part wasn't complete... they stopped filming long before that point and it would be safe to assume that the camera battery ran out. A soldier at the base DID say that they were "doing what they were told to do; maintaining the integrity of the base."

    There were other stories in the series (links in original post)... most of the people remaining are those that need the most help. FEMA is washing their hands of them but the state will pick up the slack in the end. (and eventually beg for assistance, like CA)

    in the doc though, they interview the navy personel from the base in question...and they said on camera that they turned away people in the aftermath of Katrina.....

    the video i saw supports your statements, commy. no doubt those people were turned away with force.

    a horrible situation...
