This was poorly planned from the get-go. It's not like So Cal was hit by a Cat 4 hurricane, or NO was hit by 7.0 earthquake. Everyone knows that Louisiana, and the Gulf States, are likely to get nailed by a hurricane with Katrina's intensity.
So, why weren't generators in place? They knew the electricity would fail. They needed plenty of light to keep people safe from the thugs. They needed electricity to keep 25,000 people cool. Not to mention a system for sanitary facilities.
All those buses could have been utilized to get out the most vulnerable to PREPLANNED destinations.
The local and state officials won't wiggle out of this one. Are you reading Ellesu's posts about the millions of dollars FEMA sent LA, that can't quite be accounted for. This is why the Clintons and their operatives are out there. They're trying to cover up what amounts to grand theft and criminal neglect, if not outright manslaughter. I call it murder, but I'm just looking at what these bums can be charged with.
Did not the President request Clinton and Bush 41?
An excellent post. I wish I'd written it.
You and I are on the same page re: the Clintons.
