What's up with that???
Yea, and we're stingy.
I saw that too during WTC...
You really go numb.
I swear that entire week is a blur.
'They appeared' to be standing around to on lookers.
But I guarantee they were just 'shut down'. 'Overwhelmed'. Could not process....
WTC was nothing compared to this event.
Not that one event is 'better'. Just massive.
Indonesia had braced for a terrorist attack over Christmas - there were real concerns about the possibility of an attack. So they had a lot of troops and police out that weekend to deal with that potential threat.
I've heard plenty of reports of soldiers and police on duty going to the aid of disaster victims, but there have been some where, as in this case, they stood back. It's not clear whether they had any reason to do that, or whether some just didn't get involved.
"There were Indonesian soldiers in armoured cars and police sitting on corners, smoking and watching everything. They were doing nothing to help people," said Howard.
Probably muslims. Care about nothing but themselves.
