If you look carefully, the vast majority of these women with children appear to be alone. A few have husbands, and I've seen a few men holding babies, but for the most part you see a couple of women together with multiple children. This isn't a suprise, because the welfare state we have created nation-wide encourages the breakup of the family.
In the article last night on Drudge about the chaos inside the dome, it talked about crack cocaine vials in the trash, blood on the walls, etc.. and talked about the murders and rapes inside the dome.... specifically mentioned one woman with 11 children who couldn't sleep for fear one of the so-called thugs would rape one of her "babies." The youngest rape victim (reported) was four years old.
This is why I think splitting them up -- OR -- if they were really organized and had time you would send single women and children to one location, single men to another and couples to another.
A massive amount of people in dead-end/dangerous parts of town with a poor community and family structure to begin with, thrown together in one place with no food or water nor social order nor rules nor leadership, and then, shaken all together, (with irresponsible public officials thrown into the equation) it just melts down from there.
This will indeed be one for the American history books, that Superdome "Shelter" Fiasco.
It's not racist, it's common sense. Single people on different sides, intact families in a different area.
I don't know who I'm more incensed at, the rapist or Landrieu and Blanco.
I would be banned for life if I posted what I am thinking upon hearing this...
Prayers for ALL!
