Katrina : The Human Tragedy
A lot has been said bout the hurricane Katrina. Many people regard it as a natural tragedy, the loss of lives, the loss of property, pets etc. Many people also blame the Bush’s administration for being very late in helping the people, especially in New Orleans. Many people have also said that perhaps the delay in response and help is due to the victims were from the black suburbs and not the flashy white dominated LA, Miami or even one of the red neck areas. Well, to be honest, if it took 6 days for rescuers to come and supply food to those that were literally on the streets, then I say, that’s a third world country scenario Bush !!! You FAILED in helping your people when they were hit, you FAILED to send rescuers, you FAILED to assist in the evacuating the city, you FAILED in providing food and clean water and most importantly you FAILED to ensure that there was no HUMAN TRAGEDY occuring after the hurricane.
My eyes were nearly watery when I heard of the report. What report you may asked?
After Katrina strucked, many of the folks of the New Orleans took shelter at the Superdome (an indoor sports arena). Well, the arena was suppose to protect them from the hurricane, which is fair enough. But what was going inside was unbelievable. There were not many police personnel in the arena, which means security was at a minimum level. What happened then was crazy, two black rival gangs started taking control of the situation inside. They had a gang fight, shooting and murdering of innocent civilians. If that was not bad enough, young women were raped repeatedly by gang members. If you think that is sick, children between the age of 9-12, were raped at the toilets. Whenever a young girl wanted to go toilet to ease herself, she ends up being raped as those sick bustards will be at the toilet to rape them. If that doesn’t choke you, then this will. Gang members, after raping like so many people, started raping babies and toddlers……….
This is America , the Americans proudly say, the land where individual liberty is paramount. The land where human right is upheld. The land where its people are civilised and believes in freedom. Does individual liberty means you can shoot other people in the packed Superdome just to exert power? Where was your human rights when you had gang members repeatedly raping young women? How can you rape young girls at the toilet and called yourselves civilised? What freedom do you promise in that country of yours where babies and toddlers are raped? And all this happen when there was a hurricane outside. You would expect a civilised society to be praying for their safety and helping each other in need but I guess, civilised and america, ain’t proudly standing next to each other now.
No honest American will be proud of what happened in New Orleans. Who says Katrina was a natural disaster…It was a human tragedy occuring at the supposedly most civilised country in the world….
U Suck America….USuckAmerica ! USA !
Shame on you !!!!!

It is quite sad when this things happened when it could have been easily averted with proper planning of evacuation or shelter. Anyway, I agree with u that America sucks, particularly the the current administration that resides at the White House .
