Yeah. savvyscamp was telling me last night that one of the parishes seceded from the US in an attempt to get FOREIGN aid from the government, because they were getting no help as it was. Just... WTF. And Jamaica and Germany and Canada and whomever else are trying to send aid but they're being told "no"???? JESUS.
WHY? So, not only are we not sending aid to our own people, we're not letting others help either? FUCKING FUCKERS. Do they LIKE watching people die? And, at this point, that would make more sense than it doesn't. Just--I'm SO DISGUSTED RIGHT NOW. I can't decide if I'd rather cry or throw up. a;dkjbajajajjhrehiweqriohpqwrehipoaerhioag
And apparently UN and NATO have offered resources, but Bush didn't like that idea, or something. There is a whole bunch of WTF happening over in scarah2's post here.
It's just so so horrible. savvyscamp lives outside of New Orleans, and they sent some of the NO refugees to her town to get out of the superdome, etc, but some of the refugees came with their looted guns. And now her town isn't safe. And... the police seem idle, or helpless, or.... GAH.
She was telling me about a news anchor who was banging on the side of a police car, trying desperately to get help for the people in the convention center, and you know what the cop did? just sped off. I just don't get it. At all. :( :( :(
