I haven’t tuned in to a whole lot of news recently...enough I guess, see’n as how I can’t get it outta my head that some people have got it in their heads to set up on rooftops trying to shoot the people being rescued...and while it doesn’t exactly come as a shock, it’s still the sort’a window into the human condition that just knocks the wind right the fuck out of my sails.
That inborn tendency for barbarism and all that...take mental stock the next time your at the fuck’n Walmart, the DMV, a traffic light, wherever...look around at your fellow man...odds are that were the collective shit to hit the collective fan, not so few of those nameless strangers would likely embrace the most cut-throat bowels of their nature and kill you deader than shit...ani’t we beautiful?

the situation down there has me glued to the news and wanting to go on a killing spree.. those people are the scum of society.. shooting at the rescuers, and raping people.. i just can't fathom what could be in their heads.. it makes me so physically ill.. i wish there was something we could do to help.. but without having any money ourselves, or room in our small (barely big enough for the 2 of us) apartment, i am at a loss.. they aren't wanting civilians to go down there and help, or i would be there right now.. this whole situation just leaves a bad taste in my mouth..

I've been peeking at the news this morning, jump'n from channel to channel...they're really not showing or telling shit when it comes to the scope of this thing...
you might find this [info]lindseymoongirl journal compelling...

I would hope that all cities would not act that way in the same situation. I can't help thinking of when I went to New Orleans last and how shitty and dangerous it was. You take the wrong street in that city and you can get your throat slit.

Even the mayor said the drugs and murder were out of control before the flood. New Orleans is a party city, and where there is a party there will be the ner-do-wells and crazies. I'm sure the sloth of the rescue efforts didn't help the mind set.

Maybe I'm just spoiled living in Fort Worth with all the bike cops and such. I also can't watch the news much.
