If tens of thousands of Americans are starving to death in plain sight..
And there are news crews able to reach them, and over 24 hours access, then WHY THE FUCK CAN'T THE GOVERNMENT EVACUATE THESE PEOPLE.

Seriously. 4 years after 9/11 -- what if it wasn't a hurricane but a dirty bomb or other terrorist attack.

You're telling me with all this "Homeland Security" talk and BILLIONS OF OUR TAX DOLLARS spent in preparing, we as a country are physically unable to move 20,000 people stranded in what is basically a lake after 36 hours of clear weather?

I think the story about the helicopters getting shot at is being told to confuse people so they don't notice that nobody has a fucking plan to get these people out.

you're telling us that the ENTIRE US MILITARY is held off from an EVACUATION OPERATION FOR 20,000 PEOPLE because of a few 18 year old homies with a pistol?

If you're not asking who the fuck is in charge of this country and what the fuck is wrong with them then you don't deserve to call yourself American.
