I am sure if they asked The NAACP for some funds to help these people it would be forth comming.
I don't know how the NAACP came into play regarding this article?
Anyway and in other words, we have here is a case of whether or not the "Republican Feds" should come into the town right away and throw their collective weight around (and get 'er done) or the Feds deciding to let the State Gov't handle what they can. Once decided that the inexperience of the local democratic government clearly couldn't handle things, the Feds stepped in.
Should they have been a bully to begin with? Yes, I suppose they should have but hindsight is indeed 20/20. Too bad, so sad. What's even sadder is now they have to save face for something that wasn't even their fault in the first place. In doing so, it's going to cost the taxpayers exponentially more to engratiate the libs.
