Houston Mayor did not want large numbers of poor people

to congregate together for shelter.

That seems to be the implicit point of this article, posted on another thread:

BushCo has "learned its lesson" from its mistakes during Katrina: keep poor people dispersed

1. Yeah, keep them isolated and voiceless
You will see race/income riots soon in this country. I know which side I will be on.

2. That article is pretty sickening.
The families of NO evacuees were split up. That's horrifying.

There are thousands of people evacuating from the Texas coast and there are no shelters? Thousands abandoned on the highway and no help? Houston Mayor Bill White is refusing to provide shelters? WTF?

Read Bouncy Ball's posts about the highway situation in the Greatest thread.
