When the stories trickle out (no pun intended) we're going to have things to be ashamed of, but ALOT to be proud of, too. There are heroes in this mix, too, I think we've forgotten.
I've seen film of a man kneeling on a sheet of plywood leaning on a stteply pitched roof and forming a bridge into a window of the home next door, presumably 2nd or 3rd story. A man in the house was passing his 3 year old daughter across the bridge.
Heroes in action. We need to be sure to highlight these acts above the repulsive acts of human vermin and total incompetence of local officials.
The heros are ALWAYS forgotten in the rush to place blame and then remain forgotten for years afterward, until history corrects perception. Remember the NYFD? First heros, then accused of looting (a couple were), now ALL of them remembered for more for the looting incident than their dedication and hard work in rescuing people. We can thank NY Democrats and their mass media for that.
