Snows every year in Boston, I believe. There is no event in our vations history to compare to what is happening in LA / MS / AL
Sorry. I was replying to an actual bigot who wanted to quiz us on if we noticed the "ethnicity" of the looters.
Sorry for hollerin at ya, don-o. That's what wine at dinner can do.
Seriously, the Blizzard of '78 shut down the city for 6 days. We had, what I thought at the time, was martial law. People died, houses washed out to sea, electricity and heat were out. There was no looting, everybody worked together and shared their limited resources. And we had zero warning. These people in New Orleans had days. The mayor himself sent his family out of NO before Saturday.
I am angry at the looters. I am especially angry at the people who endangered their children by not leaving. They are using up resources that should be used for truly needy victims of this tragedy.
