Can they FUCKING parachute some food in for those PEOPLE!

[nytemare]

For Chrissakes.

Just like Afghanistan and Iraq, drop the goddamned food in. Right now, those people care more about fucking food and water than troops coming in.

Watching these videos of these people is pissing me off almost as much as seeing footage of the race riots in the 60's.

This is a Goddamn tragedy that this is happening.

If they are scared people will fight over the food, they should just drop it in a designated area where the guard is, and let them pass it out. But get the fucking food in. They have had several days to think of this. That has been attorney that is leading FEMA now should have done it two days ago.

C130, MREs, Water, parachutes. Very fucking simple.

Just like they did here!

1. Sorry I blew up

[Jamastiene]

8. You don't need to apologize to me. I agree it is a national disgrace. n/t

[Jamastiene]

2. Sounds like what I've been saying all night. I know

I have probably pissed more than a few people off tonight, but I'm outraged at the no/slow response. They are taking their own damn sweet time while people are DYING. If the damn news media can get in there to video those people who are stranded and starving, then why can't THEY drop some food off along the way? Huh? If nothing else, they could quit making up catchy end of the world slogans and making up graphics for their endless stories of the catastrophe and quit yapping long enough to feed the people along the way. If only, the news media would drop a few rations off, at least a couple of thousand could be fed.

5. Even Tucker Carlson had a big segment about those people on today

Last night, Joe Scarborough did.

By their coverage, I would gander to say that they are split with the administration on how this disaster is being handled.

There should be serious outrage about this. It is almost too bad the national guard doesn't give the media stuff to pass out. That might be more effective than how they are trying it now.

[KitchenWitch]

3. Excellent rant!

Fucking A!

[nytemare]

7. Fucking thank you!

I feel much better when I use Fuck a couple of times to describe a fucking sitiuation that really fucking needs the word fuck.

:hi:

[Jamastiene]

10. Fuck yeah. I couldn't fucking agree more. n/t

[nytemare]

13. I fucking agree with your fucking agreeing with me!

:hi:

[Jamastiene]

15. Hell fuck yeah. Let's have a fucking fuck it all party and just let

the sorry asses have it tonight. I haven't had enough sleep for days now, but I'm to fucking OUTRAGED to sleep right now. I can't get those fucking images of those stranded people with not even a drop of clean fucking water.

[nytemare]

17. Sometimes, fuck is the only word you can use

to project the urgency that is needed!

I truly got angry seeing that. It really almost angered me as badly as seeing people getting hosed down in the race riots. This should not be going on in modern America. It is not that difficult to procure some planes to drop food. I understand the helicoptors are being used for rescues. Just use a plane, drop the cargo hatch, and parachute the stuff in.

[MalibuChloe]

4. what the fuck is it going to take...

for people to see what poor leadership we have right now?

granted, most of the people who are starving and thirsty and dying would never have voted for him.

stupidass fucktard repugnant wingnuts.

[nytemare]

11. Well, the more rightwing tv hosts seem pretty perturbed by the situation

Carlson and Scarborough didn't seem happy about the lack of help for the people.

Now, Olbermann is talking about the stupid Bush quote on the Levees.

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

6. I wish I owned planes and helicopters

I'd do a massive airlift. "If wishes were horses, beggars would ride."

[nytemare]

14. FEMA and the Military should be contracting helecoptors and planes

with cargo bays to drop food. 5 days later, there really is no excuse.

[Jamastiene]

16. That has been my wish all day long. I honestly think

I'd blow off college and a few other things to go down there personally if I had my own helicopter, bus, boat, the money to buy one of more of the above, anything to really help as opposed to this shit. Damn, why can't the right people be rich enough to help. We'd actually DO SOMETHING about it as opposed to collecting money endlessly and then DOING NOTHING. Where is the help for these people and where is all that money the organizations are collecting going?

[Floogeldy]

9. Sorry. All of the parachutes and food are in Iraq.

So are the National Guard, helicopters and money.

[nytemare]

12. No kidding.

National security, or international security??

[HuskerDU]

18. Just wanted to chime in to agree with you.

If I could I would helicoptor in some supplies to those people. My g/f and I thought about driving down there, but we are broke and wouldn't even make it halfway there.

I think we the people need to take it into our own hands. Somebody has to do something!

[nytemare]

19. Welcome to DU, Husker DU.

I hope you enjoy it here!

:hi:

[HuskerDU]

22. Thank you very much!

:hi:

[bridgit]

20. i'm certain that is their plan...

[nytemare]

21. Time for plan to become action

was about two days ago.

:shrug:

[bridgit]

23. as the governor of Louisiana rightly stated very recently...

it is a vast scene of disruption & chaos & in-roads have been wholly shattered; there is a systematized priority that must be adhered to & it is not proper to think that it can happen any other way. her words were specific as to what is to follow while it is true that many eyes are focused upon what is to follow = Time Is Of The Essence, to say the very least

[nytemare]

24. Time surely is of the essence.

And I can understand the choppers being used for rescue. A C130 dropping food would be common in a war zone, without much thought put into it.

[bridgit]

25. then we are agreed, Redstone made a fine point the other day...

with so many resources having been pulled off, out & away for bush's & the republican's bullshit war, we have woefully little airlift capacity on hand for what needs to be done here & now & i fault access to our own, we the people's assets, for the lapse in what should be a more timely response time
