Its funny to me how it has to be a race issue. This Bush bashing is out of control. I agree they had a slow response, but first off, the people had ample opportunity to leave, its not like the hurricane just popped up. They had several days notice to leave. Why did they stay? Secondly, NO ONE expected the catastrophic events that occured. Remember the majority of damage in NO was due to the massive flooding that happened AFTER the hurricane came through. I dont see it as a race issue whatsoever, it just happens that the mjority of population in NO is african american. On top of all this, if they are so concered with the quality of help they are getting there, then why shoot at choppers, why loot electronic stores, why roam the street shooting, raping and pilaging? Sounds like they are looking for a scapegoat, and Bush has a target on his back. Im not going to get into a huge political discussion about all of this, but first off its only been 6 days since the hurricane came through, the majority of damgage sustained there was from the flooding not the initial impact of the hurricane. Im not saying people werent killed when it came through, or that the city wasnt in ruins, but come on. The majority of the people down their complaining about the help they are recieving are the same people who are looting unnecessary shit. I see nothing wrong with taking food, water, diapers, ect, but tvs, multiple pairs of shoes, guns, ect, i cant understand. I watch these brazen fools stealing tvs right infront of police in the early part of the week, if your healthy enought to wander the street raining chaos, then they are obviously healthy enough to help get people out of areas where there situation is dire. Im an by no means racist, but when the majority of these people are already being provided for by our tax dollars because they are to stupid, or lazy to work, then my opinion is they have no right to bitch. (that last statement is backed up by the reports that the majority of folks still in N.O. are below the poverty line, therefore most likely unemployed and/or drawing wellfare) Enough is enough, the issue isnt timing, the issue is what can be done to help, myself, i feel sorry for everyone who lost a loved one, lost their homes and possessions, but if they all want someone to blame, blame each other for not leaving when the opportunity was there. The elderly, and children didnt have much of a choice, but everyone else did. Hell, if they didnt have cars, they had legs, or wheelchairs. They could have surley walked to TRY and get to a safe spot.

look you guys can think this is racist or not, frankly i really don't give a shit but you have two types of people in the south that were effected by the hurricane. There are the innocent black people that are tryin to get help and are trying to get out and find food and water and then you have the dumbass's which are shooting cops, shootin the innocent people for their goods, and still trying to be thugs during a natural disaster. C'mon the crackheads are stealing insolin from the hospitals, wtf are they going to do with it? They set fires to the buildings and shoot cops and firefighters when they try to put out the blaze and its just fucking stupid. Gang members, thugs, fuckin pussy gun toting niggers that won't give anybody a chance to do anything because they feel they still have to protect their turf which i doubt they even know where it fucking is anymore. If i was me i would shoot everybody in the head that i seen stealing anything other than food or water.

You're truly an idiot. What do you mean, "you can think this is racist or not", when you throw around words like "nigger", you're definitely being racist. I can see you live in KLANtucky, but come on. Surely you can't be this ignorant. I guess your granddaddy was probably in the KKK too, huh?

i wont say i agree with your word choices Matt, but i do see your point. Why help people who are trying to kill you for helping? It doesnt make since to me, maybe someone can explain that. And dont turn it into some big argument on the war, because im refering to Americans asking for help, and when it doesnt come fast enough in their opinions they turn into homeland terrorists. The people that are trapped there, wanted help the first day, sorry folks but you cant mobilize a relief effort that fast. it just doesnt happen. There were 2000+ National Guard troops in place in N.O. on Tuesday, and more being mobilize from all over the country. Relief doesnt happen overnight.

On the subject of looting here are some first hand accounts of whats going on there, now tell me something isnt wrong with this:

Law enforcement efforts to contain the emergency left by Katrina slipped into chaos in parts of New Orleans

At the Wal-Mart on Tchoupitoulas Street, an initial effort to hand out provisions to stranded citizens quickly disintegrated into mass looting. Authorities at the scene said bedlam erupted after the giveaway was announced over the radio.

While many people carried out food and essential supplies, others cleared out jewelry racks and carted out computers, TVs and appliances on handtrucks.

The original plan was that every able body person would have left prior to the hurricane. This would have left 10% of people that could not help there self. In one day you can walk 60 miles with out a problem. 3 days would put a healthy person living on the gulf 180 miles away. This would have made the diffrence. Instead these stupid people stay. The rescues the police were trying to do had to be stoped for days to stop the gang bangers. In the stadium there were 12 RAPES and 6 murders. How can you bitch about food and water when you have the energy to rape?

It is easy to send the Marines into another country. It is a whole diffrent story to have them operate on U.S soil.

I am a Marine. I went 8 days with a pack of crackers and one canteen a day in Iraq because we gave what little we had to the civilians. 6 days to take Iraq? Try x4. What is your MOS Nic. I'm an 1833/2100. I was one of the first in Bagdad. If you were refering to desert storm that operation (not war) took 100 Hrs.

This in not a race issue it is a retard issue.

right on to what low mazda and chris hall said i am a 7051 cfr -0351 dragon gunner usmc 8yrs and on my way to iraq to firefight for a yr as a civilian f*** the p***y that doesnt support what the innocent men and women losing their lives are doing to better our and other nations.for those who have no clue look where we were with the soveiet union and vietnam decades ago and part of the plan is to make iraq a democracy so we will gain more allies in the mideast and so we can stop things such as 911 and just the hate for western civilization this will allow us to focus more on our nation specifically in the time of need such as a natural disaster

i am almost 30 yrs old and have had many college classes such as political science and govt econ yet i have never heard of a president having to multitask major incidents such as pres bush .im sure he asked alqeda to fly planes into our homeland and he prayed for a naturak disaster. if u want to make a difference volunteer to do cleanup or just donate blood. running your suck isnt going to accomplish anything
