First hand N.O experience.

Although the FEMA employee's piece posted by Fastest H-Town Realtor is grammatically & spelling challenged, it seems written by an actual participant giving his true observations and beliefs. It's very sad that he attributes some of the problem to race, but it also suggests that the other parts reflect what he actually saw. He isn't trying to be politically correct, just accurate as he sees it.

For these reasons, I think it's worth reading and very sobering. It reminds us how blessed we are and how much we should contribute to the relief effort.

Let me suggest that anyone who would be inclined to contribute through faith-based entities do so. They seem to do a good job of distributing at the grass roots level without wasting money on bureaucracy. They'll also address spiritual needs, something important to people from that part of the country, based on my experience. For them, it will likely be their root of hope -- -- something they need right now.

Just my 2 cents.

The story is BS. Completely made up BS. There was no passage from Baton Rouge to Gulfport and Gulfport is in Mississippi, 100 miles from New Orleans.

Gulfport is one word, not two, but many newspapers report it as " Gulf Port". Attention-starved numbnuts. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
Well, for someone that was just writing a lot of BS, he sure went to a lot of trouble writing such a long essay. What was the purpose? Fame? Fortune? Was he getting paid by the word? I don't even know who wrote it. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>You should be able to easily provide the answers to your own questions as I'm sure the same questions can be asked of you.

Nice people in Destin. We have a time share there and always look forward to being around the folks. LA & MS have a lot of scary places.
35 years as a cop and I still woun't travel there with my Glock.
Really sad, but it is really the same problem all over the country and law enforcement has thier hands tied by the liberals.
