How can someone not have ID? You practically need it for doing anything nowadays.

"There ain't no more assistance," said Forest. "None. I'm just... outdoors." At least he's no longer a shut in, swilling Colt 45 and watching Oprah.

Why, they've been remodelling their hotel rooms!

Meanwhile, Pedro shows up here from his little swim across the Rio Grande...a week later he has a job and an apartment.
Pedro doesn't speak English, have valid ID, government re-location or FEMA cash assistance.
By now Pedro probably has a construction job in New Orleans..
hehe

The only thing it's going to do is create more stealing, more killing and more robbing in Baton Rouge. That's all it's going to do." Well if that's true, the I'm pretty confident you'll have 'lodging' soon, for 18 months to 30 years.

And now a few moral questions arise...Will society take care of those who refuse to take care of themselves? And will eliminating natural selection in this way poison our society?

All these weeks not only on the dole, but in free hotels as well. And they're still not happy.
Please understand, you freeloading whiners, that if you want to improve your lot in life, look in the mirror for help. Don't expect a free Colt-45-for-breakfast ride for the rest of your miserable lives.
Look to Condoleeza Rice, Lynn Swan, JC Watts, Clarence Thomas, Bill Cosby et al for your examples, and your inspiration. You'll gain your own self respect - rather, you'll earn it. And you'll be able to stand tall, as good a human being as any other on the planet.
Else you really will remain in the worthless and dehumanizing ghetto of public welfare, relegated to the fringes and worth only the contempt that society feels towards you.

How the heck can one have no ID? They knew the rains and floods were coming--it was on the daggone TV. Grab your wallet and run for heaven's sake!

But manager Dana Severio says evacuees are destroying the rooms. "FEMA says they're not responsible for the damages, but we can't rent a room once they tear it up."Anything that is "free" or has the word public in front of it (public transit, public housing, etc) will always be misused since the users have no sense of ownership.
To: Antoninus II
Not according to Denetra.....
Evacuee Denetra Coleman says it's wrong to blame the evacuees for damage to the rooms. "It ain't all what they said from the beginning about New Orleans people tearing the hotel up. No, they didn't. [The hotel] was like that when they came here."
To: Ellesu
"But when 9 News crews saw him last, he still had nowhere to go and he wasn't in touch with his family." For cryin' out loud, it's been six months---what has he been doing to find somewhere to go and to "get in touch with his family". At SOME point, these folks have got to start taking some personal responsibility.
To: Ellesu
Forest has called the motel home ever since he waded through floodwaters to evacuate New Orleans. He says he didn't know he could get an extension at the hotel through March 1. "This ain't right," he said, sitting on a curbside. "This ain't right, man. I don't have I.D. or nothing." I have no idea how the system works, but has this guy done anything to change his situation in the last 4-5 months?
