WHY is this being allowed to happen?

I'm watching NBC Nightly News & the stories they just showed were heartbreaking. I have been crying now since 6:30. Why are people not marching to Washington and DEMANDING Bush's resignation? This is sheer fucking insanity!

NBC News was actually showing footage of people who died at the Super Dome who were clutching pieces of paper on how to contact their families. There was a young girl (10-12?) who had a diabetes incident- thank god there is a nurse there (She believes she is the only one & therefore will not move so that she can HELP people)& the girl was saved. People are literally losing their minds because they are beyond exhausted, thirsty & hungry. Not to mention dirty and scared. You see helicopters getting in there & yet THEY AREN'T DROPPING FOOD OR WATER!!!!!!!!!!!! People are still stranded on their roof tops.

A building burns in a flooded area near the Louisiana Super Dome in New Orleans September 1, 2005. Rotting bodies littered New Orleans' streets on Thursday and troops headed in to control looting and violence, as thousands of desperate survivors of Hurricane Katrina pleaded to be evacuated from the flooded city, or even just fed.

HOW ABOUT ZERO TOLERANCE FOR HIS COMPLETE AND UTTER INEPTITUDE?!?!?!

right now!! Why aren't we???

:mad: :cry:

I'm in if people want to march.
This is SICKENING. Absolutely sickening.
The folks in NYC got help ALOT fucking quicker than this.

I think this is the worst display of "compassionate conservatism" I've yet seen

the militarization of Government's relationship to the urban poor.
From now on the poor are a military problem.

the looting or the gas crisis.

Please write your thoughts and send them to every news media outlet you can think of including your paper. Then send them to the white house. If enough of us do this more people will see that it's okay to feel this way. If the media keeps reporting the truth then more people will see.

as I know most of you have. I am SICK SICK SICK about this.
These people need HELP NOW!!!

It's being allowed to happen due to gross incompetence of the people in charge.

just in NO that had no cars.

Chernoff is either totally incompetent or so evil that we can't begin to comprehend how bad these guys are.

are desperate because they are running out of power and food and water) and noone arranged to get them out. Those poor people have been on the roof for days and night. It is hot in NO and unhealthy. This is unacceptable period.

And I'm not the only one who thinks so:
