Horrible Aftermath
While I do not blame Bush for somehow being responsible for the destruction and chaos caused by a once in a hundred years hurricane, I do hold Bush and his Republican cronies liable for the mismanaged aftermath.
The two centers- the Superdome and the convention center- are cesspools of crime and violence due to inadequate National Guard troops and police officers.
Looting is ruining any semblance of an economy. People break into stores and carry off televisions, stereos, beer, and, most troublesome, guns. The police's own damn food truck was broken into. Stealing food, water, and clothes for survival is no crime, but when gun stores have their merchandise cleared out by looters, and snipers fire at hospitals, the line has been crossed.
People are still stranded and without food and water.
This was only a Category 3 hurricane. This was a predictable scenario and there should have been a more adequate response by the government.
I suppose that's what you get when you appoint a partisan hack to the chief of FEMA.
