Remember Help Came TOO Late For THOUSANDS like this.*graphic*


The body of a dead man rests on a lawn chair as other flood victims pass by at the Convention Center in New Orleans, Thursday, Sept. 1, 2005. Outside the Convention Center, the sidewalks were packed with people without food, water or medical care, and with no sign of law enforcement. Thousands of storm refugees had been assembling outside for days, waiting for buses that did not come. (AP

I wish they would split screen this with the chimp guffawing with the repuke govs.

So that * could try to finish his vacation. That explains in a nutshell what's wrong with this country.

12. I saw a photo of a man with his baby...
He covered this man's body with the blanket. Apparently, the people were very upset at the photographers, and felt they were not being respectful of this man, and the lady who died in the wheelchair.

I cried then, and I'm crying now...

:cry:

14. Why wasn't help sent to take this man to safety BEFORE
The hurricane?

FEMA Corward Director Brown keeps saying that he wonders why these people didn't leave. Look at the pic. Could this man have walked away? Did he have an SUV to drive off in and $$ to stay at a Holiday Inn several hundren miles away? The National Guard should have been evacuating people 48 hours before katrina.

25. Gj I just lost two friends tonight over this
They refuse to admit these folks had no way out. They are repukes and the only thing that kept us friends is we never talked politics and our boys are friends. We never talked politics because we knew we were direct opposites.

I boiled over when he said that the people had the opportunity to leave. I am so angry. I don't know if I will ever talk to him again.

:cry:

Edited on Fri Sep-02-05 07:02 PM by leftchick
the repukes are sucking up the remaining koolaid. I told this person I saw dead bodies all week long due to lack of response. He said .THEY HAD THE CHOICE TO LEAVE! I got up and left with my husband to explain my anger.

fuck all of you enabling repukes. There is a special place in HELL for you all!!
