Huh fox news huh.
Funny that they concentrate on the looting more than anyone. I was talking to a truck driver yesterday who was near NO a couple days ago, watching LOCAL news. And while the reporter for the local news was interveiwing someone he was told that a fox new reporter had reported hearing gun shots. The local, reporter and the guys he interviewed was standing just a few yards away and they both heard nothing.
OBVIOUSLY there was chaos going on. I also think that it was blown out of proportion as an excuse to drag feet.
I really won't respond to this thread anymore because it's turning into a political discussion. There isn't anything I can discuss and feel more strongly about, and I'm sure I will only make people mad and I damn well sure know the same will happen to me.
But in closing, I would like to point out that no matter what anyone says, those people were NOT helped because they were poor, and because the majority were black.
You better beleive that if hollywood has a major earthquake those people will get help when they need it.
One other thing. It didn't expose the welfare state. It exposed US as americans. Not only are we an un-ruly bunch of war mongrels by going into other countries for phony reasons, we also act like hooligans on our soil. And on top of that it showed just how ready we are for a disaster.
