FEMA deals death to survivors by refusing help |
Compare these 2 news articles.
In the first, Chicago's offer of medical help is rejected as
'unneeded' by FEMA and in the second, the doctors at a survivor base
are overwhelmed and watching a lot more than 8 to 10 people die a day
waiting to be helped.
Daley 'shocked' as feds reject aid
September 3, 2005
BY STEPHANIE ZIMMERMANN AND SCOTT FORNEK Staff Reporters Advertisement
A visibly angry Mayor Daley said the city had offered emergency,
medical and technical help to the federal government as early as
Sunday to assist people in the areas stricken by Hurricane Katrina,
but as of Friday, the only things the feds said they wanted was a
single tank truck.

Evacuations Finally Appear to Increase By ROBERT TANNER, AP National
Writer
1 hour, 52 minutes ago
NEW ORLEANS - Planes, trains and buses delivered refugees to safety on
Saturday as the evacuation of this ruined city finally appeared to
pick up steam.
Buses had evacuated most people from the frightening confines of the
Superdome by early morning. At the equally squalid convention center,
thousands of people began pushing and dragging their belongings up the
street to more than a dozen air-conditioned buses, the mood more numb
than jubilant.
More than 50,000 people had been trapped for days at the two filthy,
sweltering buildings, suffering from a lack of food, water or medical
attention. Help came too late for a number of them — dead bodies were
a common sight, in wheelchairs, wrapped in blankets or just abandoned.
Thousands of people were at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International
Airport, where fewer than 200 remained in a medical triage unit where
officials said 3,000 to 5,000 people had been treated since the
beginning of the storm.
"The hallways are filled, the floors are filled. There are thousands
of people there," said Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., who was at
the airport. "A lot more than eight to 10 people are dying a day. It's
a distribution problem. The doctors are doing a great job, the nurses
are doing a great job."

Such grotesque, overpowering stupidity.
The entire FEMA, homeland security leaders
need to be en masse sacked.

If I were in charge, I'd be accepting all offers of help and asking
for more. How in the bloody fucking hell can *anyone* be stupid enough
to defend these incompetent morons?
