1.I saw TV coverage of New Orleans after Hurricane
Katrina had come and left. A TV news reporter was there, talking about gangs looting, shooting and causing trouble. Several thousands were without electricity, shelter, food, drink, medicine, restroom facilities and other essentials that were needed NOW. The reporter spoke about how the National Guard, Red Cross, disaster relief and others were "blocked" from entering the city because "the gangs were too violent and were preventing help from getting in". Yeah, right. The Guard and the relief could've mowed down them stupid gangstas with their large vehicles. There were some armored cars for Pete's sake! The sun had just set and the TV idiot talked about "the city descending into
anarchy", and yet relief didn't get in for nearly a
fucking week! This display of gross incompetence was seen all over the world and it showed in living color the incompetence, corruption and absolute STUPIDity rampant in America.
On
top of that, some
people elsewhere were saying "why should we rebuild New Orleans? It was built six feet below sea level!". Cretins! Ignorant IDIOTS! Then some
people around here were distributing some boneheaded paper about "how God sent this hurricane to punish the city for having a "fag-fest" (I looked it up - it refers to "Southern Decadence". It's some sort of cultural fair for gay
people. There's nothing
kinky, bizarre or offensive about what the festival goers do there. It's pretty much a "cultural" pride celebration with many activities - none sexual). Then why don't God destroy San
Francisco? I've been there and other cities have many gays.
Anyway, after relief FINALLY came to the Crescent City the residents were given pseudo-credit cards to make needed purchases. Soon the TV news broadcasts were showing some
people abusing the relief cards to get their hair cornrowed, to get tattoos, buy TVs and more. Guess what color those few select relief fund wasters were?
You get one guess.
2. Dick Head: Looka them coons misusing their free ride from the
government!
Me: *** POW!!! (I jack slap this moron on his concrete head so hard he falls out of the LaZ
Boy chair and onto the floor). ***
Man, this ignorant, crass attitude really pisses me off BIG TIME! And all that time the geeky TV imbeciles who were looking for journalism awards later on were just standing around dumbly. But worst of all some of the American public were so callous, so crass, so comfortably
dumb from years of indifference, ignorance, and a shit happens outlook (not to mention the showing of war as entertainment and the ignored recession)- this is a markedly vivid and clear case of what was wrong in America in the 21st century. The hairbrained response and media coverage of Hurricane
Katrina and its aftermath is a like a pus filled boil, worst than a zit. It's an absolute shame, an embarassment of the highest degree. A total disgrace. Complete unexcusable bullshit. No excuse whatsoever.
