One hundred years from now, the offspring of these Katrina "victims" will be demanding "reparations."

Right on, Hermit -- but, I might suggest you preface that phrase with "Black Welfare" !

"What the hotel is wondering is why private citizens are coming forward and asking the hotel for things that are FEMA's responsibility," said Marc Leffman

Uh, Mr. Leffman,... in New York it's called "protection". If you haven't figured that out yet, you soon will.

Unfortunately, FEMA (that's we-the-taxpayers, folks) will likely pick up the trashing damages of this once majestic Radisson, which now probably resembles the nearest "projects".

No good deed goes unpunished..LOL.

The hotel owners (God Bless 'em) in the Detroit area are kicking themselves right now. Some of them were not expecting the "victims" to hang around this long.

They do receive FEMA compensation for putting them up, but it's a mere pittance compared to the $300+ a day per-room that they could have been pulling in during the SuperBowl week.

I hear you. I lived in that city (NOLA) for about 10 years, and it was full of people who had no idea what common sense, integrity, hard work, or responsibility was about. They knew plenty about promiscuity, teen age pregnancy, truancy, crime and free handouts.

But my question to you, Pesky, is HOW DID WE (me and you) LET THIS HAPPEN!!!??? sarcasm/

See my post #44. "We the FEMA" are paying $60 a night to keep deadbeats from doing anything other than sucking on the teat.

Your comment on the "projects" is yet another reason the Detroit hotels are kicking themselves now.

What the heck is not-so-Sharpton going to boycott? The hotel's right to run a business?

I wish I could take back all the money and time that I donated to my "fellow citizens". They should take a lesson from the tsunami victims who are picking themselves up and moving on w/o screaming for someone else to come to their rescue yet again.

Might be the best $75,000 the hotel ever spent.

The "evacuees" will wind up suing the hotel and FEMA. The sad part is that they'll win.

Wonder if they get room service for meals and do they have to pay for the meals?

This is just a wild guess, but I will bet that the hotels will have to spend a fortune renovating the rooms the "refugees" lived in.

I grew up in North Louisiana and knew early on about the corruptness of the "Long Dynasty", but it was hard to convince people they were being used for their vote and were helping Louisiana to become a 'welfare' state. As a teenager, I tried to convince my grandfather -- to no avail. He thought it was more important to receive an increase in his "old age pension", and a Republican wouldn't give him the raise! You tell me...I tried and failed!
