ONE BRIGHT SIDE TO ALL THIS HORROR...
Edited on Fri Sep-02-05 08:53 AM by bac511
All these MSM Repukes on assignment in Louisiana and Mississippi finally saying, "Where is the government assistance?" "Where is the national guard?"...

The same idiot news reporters who used to sit up in their nice comfy station in a designer suit and tie praising the President.

Are they finally getting a taste of reality???

"We are out here like pure animals. We don't have help," the Rev. Issac Clark, 68, said outside the New Orleans Convention Center, where corpses lay in the open and the and other evacuees complained that they were dropped off and given nothing — no food, no water, no medicine.

CBS News Correspondent Lee Cowan reports that in the heart of New Orleans' medical district, some of the most decorated hospitals in the country have become islands of desperation.

"We're down to one day's rations… That's all we have," Dr. Steven Morse of LSU told Cowan.

About 15,000 to 20,000 people who had taken shelter at the convention center to await buses grew increasingly hostile. Police Chief Eddie Compass said he sent in 88 officers to quell the situation at the building, but they were quickly beaten back by an angry mob.

"We have individuals who are getting raped, we have individuals who are getting beaten," Compass said. "Tourists are walking in that direction and they are getting preyed upon."

2. I wish I could be happy how this is exposing this incompetent government
But I can't.

All I can do is cry and shake in anger.

3. They are also realizing that 'poor people'
Are humans - elderly, children, parents who work hard, never get ahead, who get screwed by the lopsided priorities of the so-called richest most powerful country in the world.
