I dont understand how this is not hate crime.

These bastards are even proud of it.
Our country has a bunch of hatefilled monsters in it. No wonder we have their "W" as president. What kind of animal would leave their neighbors to die rather than allow them into their town?
I despise these beasts, damn them all to hell.

Bridge emphasizes divide between communities
By Matthew Brown

When the Superdome and the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center deteriorated into anarchy and food and water ran short, many who tried to escape the flooded streets of New Orleans found their paths blocked.

Gretna police fired shots over the heads of evacuees streaming across the Crescent City Connection, as bullhorns blared for them to go back to New Orleans.

In Plaquemines Parish, dozens of sheriff's deputies raised shotguns and pistols to turn back a convoy of school buses attempting to take storm victims to safety at the Naval Air Station-Joint Reserve Base in Belle Chasse.

3. It was once said disasters show the reality within people aswell

as the world around them. I wonder what people really saw themselves to be during this whole ordeal? I noticed there was really no imbetween between people, they were either completely nonchalant and even going so far to show me links to racist jokes about looting (which I promptly blocked them) or went on and on about how horrible it all had been for days.

I never knew how people's complete inability to have compassion could end so many friendships...
