Why didn't the goverment help evacuate the poor? anonymous September 3 2005, 13:46:43 UTC
I have to agree that I haven't seen any people on the T.V. taking food or necessities called a looter but as long as they aren't taking weapons who cares. Get those people left behind out of there.
My question is if it wasn't about race, money ect.. Why didn't the government help to evacuate the city. The poor don't have means to get out or maybe needed a place to go. They had days notice and the government should have made arrangements for the citizens of New Orleans. They should have had a better evacuation process. Maybe they were working on that? Or thinking about doing that as the FEMA director said about food drops. The problem is ITS TOO LATE. Quit thinking about stuff and do something. I would also have to address the issue of those 700 people from the hilton or whatever. WHY WERE THEY ALLOWED ON THE BUS FIRST. They were clean and had slept. If they needed them out of there for some reason then they should have went to the back of the line at the dome and let some people that weren't clean, fed or had sleep on first. That one made me sick to my stomach.
GOD HAS WAYS OF BRINGING LIGHT TO A DARK SITUATION.
And I will admit I am white too. And this kind of 1800's situations make me sick.
