It's a complete disgrace. I can understand the heartache and suffering the people of New Orleans and the area of Gulf Coast are enduring but I am marvelled and disgusted by the actions those in New Orleans who are rioting, looting and threatening anyone who comes to help them!
I expect no better from those people of Africa or the Middle East, as you witness them charge toward an aid truck with no decency or patience and end up destroying the truck. But in America!?! One of our news crews had to leave an area, along with a paramedic, because both had been threatened and it was considered a dangerous area.
I imagine the Army are refusing to allow the helicopters to land and drop off aid because of these animals. I perfectly understand annoyance and anger with something like this but there's no excuse to riot and loot or threaten other people because you're hungry. Those people are hampering the aid effort and don't deserve help.
The people who sit and wait patiently, which I have seen, need all the help that can be given to them. They are a picture of Western decency in a situation like this and it's a shame America hasn't thrown in every resource in it's possession to help them. But I cannot blame them with rampant animals roaming the streets.
