The post-storm housing — a refugee camp on the grounds of the Monmouth Park racetrack – is in lockdown, with security guards at every door, including the showers.
No one is allowed to go anywhere without showing their I.D. Even to use the bathroom, “you have to show your badge,” said Amber Decamp, a 22-year-old whose rental was washed away in Seaside Heights, New Jersey.
The mini city has no cigarettes, no books, no magazines, no board games, no TVs, and no newspapers or radios. On Friday night, in front of the mess hall, which was serving fried chicken and out-of-the-box, just-add-water potatoes, a child was dancing and dancing — to nothing. “We’re starting to lose it,” said Decamp. “But we have nowhere else to go.”

I’ve gone all day without %!SSEN anyone off and I figure it was your turn dirtboy. I guess I should have picked on Slim. Oh well at least my record is unblemished.
I gotta wear a badge everywhere at work. People point guns at me at the gate while they check my ID.
When they start branding people on their arms then she can start complaining. They are free to leave unlike concentration camps .
A few questions: What would you all do with all the displaced NY’ers flooding these places? How and what would you feed them? How would you keep security with the criminals among them? Are the limited options to available choice irksome to vocal NY’ers? Remember Katrina and the horror stories there? Was George Bush running death camps then?
C’mon.
Truth is, everybody around this place is wound tighter than a cheap watch. If people are flying off the handle over small potatoes like this (it's called an EMERGENCY), what in the world are people going to do in the face of an organized and purposefully directed force of opposition?
LOL!!!
Of course the MSM and even to some extent here at FR all everyone’s attention is a four star generals tryst with a very attractive woman.
This needs to be exploited to its fullest extent, this is what the takers will be living in when their elected sytem crumbles like a sugar-cone in a vat of hot water.
But please, this is NOT a FEMA camp. Heck, it is set up at a racetrack.
Kart, I’m never p***ed off here, hard on the blood pressure.
Slim’s rules for FR survival are never discuss religion or politics. ;)
This cannot be true - don't you know this is the most transparent administration EVER??? {sarc}
They are to free to leave! Any comparison to NAZI German shows a total lack of knowledge of history or willingness to use the murder of millions of people for there own sick political views.
How do you get to Dachu? You practice, practice practice.
Personally I think you are a little with your post, but being a little crazy seems to help this days.
I wonder if they took their cell phones away. I doubt any of them will ever get out. It’s (almost)unbelievable that the government will hold people who haven’t committed a crime.
Beck says there are some new FCC regs coming. Obviously the government plans on taking complete control of the media. They’ve already got 90% that volunteered.
As Sotelo tells it, when it became clear that the residents were less than enamored with their new accommodations Wednesday night and were letting the outside world know about it, officials tried to stop them from taking pictures, turned off the WiFi and said they couldn’t charge their smart phones because there wasn’t enough power.
“My 6-year-old daughter Angie was a premie and has a problem regulating her body temperature,” Sotelo noted. “Until 11 (Wednesday) night they had no medical personnel at all here, not even a nurse. After everyone started complaining and they found out we were contacting the press, they brought people in. Every time we plugged in an iPhone or something, the cops would come and unplug them. Yet when they moved us in they laid out cable on the table and the electricians told us they were setting up charging stations. But suddenly there wasn’t enough power.”

I actually heard someone mention on the networks today how bad things are going in NYC. It was a sports announcer on the Cincy/Giants game talking about a player who had been through both Katrina and Sandy helping out in relief efforts. I doubt a alphabet newcaster would mention it, let alone pin the blame on Obama like they did Bush.
But what is happening in that camp - trying to prevent people from communicating with the outside world - needs to be escalated big-time.
But we need to have the facts straight in the process. This appears to be repression on a State of New Jersey level. Which makes it Christie's problem.
I would not stay there. I would leave and occupy Chris Christies front yard.
Just like you are free not to read the post. To me what’s going on is just a speed bump in the road down which we are headed. I just choose to show where I believe the road is headed.
Let me ask you if you sat down with a group of prosperous professional Jews in 1932 and told them where things were headed what would their reply be? I think not that much different from yours to my post.
Thanks for the pedantism.
So... does it matter just exactly which arm of government is doing the opressing? It's ok if NJ does it versus the feds?

This is Chris Christie's problem from what I can see, and needs to be addressed as such.
I also don’t get the sort of people who have no problem building gallows that will also be used against them.
I’ve read a half dozen of these threads and I haven’t seen great evidence that the people are being held or denied their basic civil rights. AFAIK, they can leave. They are, by several accounts, being denied access to power for charging cell phones - boohoo. Generators are easily taxed and thoughtless people used to every convenience need to get real. Further, the complaints seem to be on the order of their menu complaint. What would people report if they were in any lockdown?
