George Bush hates Black people.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Chaos erupted outside Family and Social Services Administration offices in Indianapolis Friday as storm victims lined up to receive emergency food stamps.
The state has been giving out the stamps for the last six days, but police were called to some offices Friday as people waited in line for hours, Call 6's Rafael Sanchez reported.
The FSSA office at 4720 Keystone Avenue was overwhelmed by demand, and several people got confrontational. Lines began forming as early as 5 a.m.
"I was seriously affected by the storm. I lost everything, and I'm listening to people in line and they really didn't even need it," said Nikki Loyd. "They weren't even affected by the storm."
The offices at 3500 Lafayette Road were also swamped by requests for help as people from all over the county waited their turn.
The calm broke when employees told them that they would take applications for people who live in eight zip codes in Lawrence and Warren townships -- areas most affected by storm damage.
Tempers flared and workers quickly lost control of the situation. Police were on standby to calm a crowd quickly becoming unruly.
"Today, if you're not in these two zip codes, sorry about your luck," said Debra Pankow. "This is just crazy."
Officials told Sanchez that the confusion was created by a manager's e-mail about what documentation people had to provide to prove that they qualified for help.
Because of the extent of recent storms, assistance is being doled out on the honor system. People are signing an affidavit that says they are telling the truth. Anyone who would like to report fraud can call 800-446-1993.

They were giving away free food and packages of soap, shampoo and other necessities to the people who lost everything to the water, including donated old furniture and beds.
As I was there dropping off some garbage I was sickened by the people taking advantage of the charity that had no business being there at all. Once word got out that they were giving stuff away free every lowlife scum and their relatives were there picking through the stuff and taking the food and supplies that people truly needed.
My heart just glowed though when I watched a young girl, perhaps 16 or 17 who was helping with a church group walk right up and publicly shame a group of people who were going through the line taking stuff. She evidently knew them and in a very loud and clear voice humiliated them in front of everyone for taking the food and free items when she said she knew full well they lived at the top of the hill and never saw a drop of water in their homes.
I just wanted to go over and thank her for at least doing what we all wanted to but didn't have the b*lls to. I wasn't alone either, there were a lot of heads nodding her way after she was done and I did hear people thank her who were there legitimately, I felt bad that it took a young little girl to stand up for the people in need while the rest of us older folks were too timid to do it ourselves. Her standing up like that really made and impression on me, I will say that.
Doesn’t surprise me in the least. Our society is infected with leeches everywhere, promoted and encouraged by our government in policy at every turn just for a few votes.
Nice story. Kudos to that teenager.
George Bush hates Black people.
I told my wife that if our son was a few years older that girl was who I would want him to be introduced to.
Never though I would think like that, but with three kids getting older you start to see things differently I guess.
The place where I work has a cafeteria where employees are expected to ring up their own meals on an honor system. Just fired about 5 last week after reviewing security cameras. My observation was that it was a cheap way of finding out who the jerks were.
Nope, none around these parts. These were the tattooed and shirtless kind who own pitbulls kept in tiny pens in the back yard.
Those are the ones I don’t trust around here....
"What else is new? Typical Whitie!"
It’s just a fact of human nature that, when you hand out something, you’re going to get some cheaters.
Were these public or union employees? This could be a really, really cheap way of winnowing the ranks. No expensive lawyers, documentation or files. Just a video tape. Around $10 or so in food is a bargain by comparison-- sort of like the investment in peanut butter to catch a rodent. I like it!
Nope, privately held company, employees at will. Very expiditious way to identify those with questionable ethics but disappointing nonetheless.
One of the big problems in our area is foreclosure homes being destroyed.
Seems people who got more money out of loans than the deserved, and now think they shouldn’t have to repay the loans, are actually thinking that the mortgage company owes them MORE money.
So when they are being foreclosed, they are tearing apart the houses right before they are kicked out. They are selling copper and other fixtures, and sometimes just doing damage for the heck of it, to “get back” at the “evil lenders” who are taking “their house”.
We have raised a generation of people who think they are entitled.
One of them thinks he is entitled to be President, and if anybody says different they are a racist.
Sometimes the banks gotta take it in the shorts for making stupid loans. If banks are going to risk the holdings by making stupid loans for fast bonuses well then the bank and bank executives need to live with the failures. I for one don’t want us bailing the banks out, nor the dumbarses that got themselves into a mess by taking the loans. Bad decisions on both side imo. There used to be a day when banks didn’t loan to everyone with a paycheck last week. You had to have a good work history, money in the bank, and a clean record of credit for the most part.
I was talking to a Bank of America minor executive and they pretty much said they were broke as a bank. Can’t loan money to people who want to buy the developer gone wild homes that the developer can’t make payments on. I guess these flip this house shows have created a false image of what property management and resale truly is. It is risky.
Nevertheless, you are correct. The media is feeling their pain and the result of that is that they feel entitled to get back at the lender, thus blaming their situation on something outside their control. They feel a part of something larger than themselves just like the whole industry of medicating children into good behavior. (It’s not my fault disease)
Were any of these people transplants from New Orleans
LMAO!!!
The government should do like we used to do in elementary school - - have somebody climb to the top of the monkey bars and toss the food stamps out one at a time, like baseball cards. Let the bums and parasites fight over their "food stamps" like wild animals.
I was wondering the same thing. You have to figure the New Orleans welfare-staters partied away their $2,200 "debit cards" in a matter of days and have remained always on the lookout for the next handout.
“What else is new? Typical Whitie!”
Dont you mean “why’d he”????
I saw one last year where the people took a baseball bat to the sheetrock and celings in every room, stole all the electrical and plumbing fixtures and ripped up the carpets before they left.
Stories such as yours about the bold words and actions of this fine young woman are why I still maintain hope for America’s survival.
The ones she had to tongue-lash are the reason my hope remains hope and not certainty that it will survive.
God bless that young lady!
But somehow our society has made ‘shame’ politically incorrect doncha know!
No. Its just the people in New Orleans, not those in the Mid-West.
Maybe we got some of those New Orleans transplants taking advantage of some freebies then. Really, we have these same leeches everywhere in Hampton Roads.
Those folks were not at all bright. If it was in NC, we're not a "non-recourse" state. They're going to get a deficiency judgment for the cost of repair, as well as any additional amount of shortfall between the amount owed and the foreclosure sale price. They can't just walk away with bad credit being the only consequence, in other words. I've often wondered if states that experienced the biggest bubble prices are non-recourse, myself. California certainly is.
Are you kidding me?? You would have to pry those things from their dead hands once they had hold of them.
Here in Indiana renters are doing the exact same thing. They pay for a few months, then stop and force the sheriff to evict them after months of legal wrangling by the property owner.
They then act like they are getting screwed by being evicted for non-payment and strip the house bare when they leave, all wiring, plumbing and basically just destroy the place.
All newer built apartments and duplexes here are 100% plastic and aluminum wiring for that exact reason now.
Isn't that dangerous ?
Not at all for normal usage in a house 110 with proper circuit breakers.
