Look for more stories in the same vien. When people never earn their own money this is how property and possesions get treated. I live in New Orleans and I am back full time. When other states began taking in evacuess I told my family that this would happen. All the goodhearted people who tried to help will be devastated.

Not all. We took in evacuees and they were wonderful to have around, helped us out with whatever they could, and constantly expressed gratitude -- to the point where I finally had to tell them to shut up! Now they have found their own place and sent us a huge bouquet of flowers when they were settled. As with anything else, all the media reports is the bad news. I'm sure there are many many other experiences like ours.

Several years ago we sold our house to a family who always rented in the past. For about 6 years they always called us when anything needed fixing, as they did not understand that THEY were responsible for repairs on their house, expecting us to fix them.
A few months after they moved in, the house looked to be well trashed.

Just wait until all the evacuees get tossed out of the Hiltons and Marriotts after the holidays. The ones who have said 'all we do is lay around all day...you can't do nothin else'. The leftist press will scream bloody murder, and I'll wager the feds will cave. They'll put all these people up for life, with room service. And I will have to pay for them.

Good for you being back in the City. What part of the city do you live?

I have been there five or six times since the storm and it is frightening how slow the progress is and how counterproductive the city gov has been.

But yes, the Browns appear to be a product of the welfare state and Orleans Parish schools. Bad news either way.

All the goodhearted people who tried to help will be devastated. and hopefully will learn a big lesson. It is very unfortunate that life is this way. This is certainly not the first story I've heard like this. I just CANNOT understand the mentality that makes people bite the charitable hand that is feeding them. I'd be SO grateful if I lost my home and others were offering help.
