No good deed goes unpunished.
Natural response, my derriere.
This is sad, but true. If one wants to do good, one should do good. Just don't expect any thanks for your efforts.
People who find themselves in need of charity often have poor impulse control, for one reason or another. They may frequently lash out. It has ever been such.
Helping the poor, clothing the naked, feeding the hungry and sheltering the homeless is it's own reward. You will get no other, so don't expect it. But you are not doing it for yourself, anyway.
These folks better hope they don't get in a similier situation in the future. Someone out out there is making a list and I'm sure they'll be checking it twice, gonna find out who's been naughty and who's been nice. ( Merry Christmas)
Where is Jesse Jackson in our time of need. Answer: out in California trying to get a serial murderer off.
The entitlement mentality says we can have it and destroy it and then expect more. This is a miniature version of what happens to many 'housing projects' in cities all across the United States. In neighborhoods where people pay for their own screen doors they don't seem to get ripped from the hinges nearly as often. I wonder why? I've also noticed in neighborhoods where people pay for their own glass, there are far fewer boarded up windows. Could it be that people take better care of things they pay for themselves?

There is a Bible verse that is appropriate for this: Matthew 7:6
6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
Oh, help. I picked up a copperhead and it BIT me.
It fills me with joy to know that my Maryland tax dollars supported this fine upstanding family for three months.
I saw a house that wasn't 2 years old probably paid for mostly by tax dollars in worse shape from a family. New Orleans ghetto life is more destructive than anywhere else IMO.

These stories are coming out, albeit over the Internet, but they are coming out. The MSM won't report it but they are there none the less. The reason the MSM won't report it is quite simple, it shows the extremes that a population sucking at the government teat has gone to. Honest, human charity is shown to them in their time of greatest need and they pi$$ in the cup of human kindness. This is what you reap when you put people on endless government subsidy without the self respect of working for a living. They have no respect for themselves therefore they have no respect for any other thing in this world, not even the kindness of another.
The good people that helped these ingrates should still be proud of what they did. Too bad they had to get stuck with a bunch of bums to help.
Tuff noogies. Let them sleep in the street if it's so friggin' demeaning. Jerks.

These are the kind of people who were so irresponsible that they didn't leave when they knew the hurricane was coming, and can't take care of their own problems. They are trash. This is why I don't feel sorry for 90% of the "victims." The responsible ones are back down there taking the responsibility of rebuilding on themselves.
