....As far as fault, no one person, no president, is ever responsible in these circumstances. Like all tragedies or accidents, they always have more than one cause. Members too often cast everything in the fantasy of my-party,right-or-wrong.... Very middle of the road King, but isn't this being discussed in the context of it resulting in the world labeling the US a 'paper tiger'. Or, so a bash the US'er might contend.

"Jim, you're an apologist for that guy Brown and FEMA's handling of the disaster? "You're doing a good job, Brownie." You're blaming the thousands of innocent victims? There was a breakdown of law and order at every level. Druggies looting hospitals and worse." WHY?
I'm an apologist King? There is a lack of civil authority and control every time a major disaster occurs. Look at the carnage in Japan after the earthquakes. The damage in New Orleans was minimal by comparison but there was no looting or raping. WHY?
No your the apologist for the citizens of New Orleans who engaged in this type of behavior on a major scale for whatever reasons you care to ascribe to them.
New Orleans Police Chief and the Mayors response: Confiscate all civilian owned firearms. Punish the innocent by depriving them of their ability to defend themselves. Additionally the looting after the New York floods was minimal and there were no reports of widespread raping. WHY?
You need to sit down and do some serious "Soul Searching" and to begin really examining you apparent long held and IMO totally erroneous beliefs and I'd recommend you do just that before trying to defend the actions of a group of thugs like those in New Orleans and that includes their elected officials. THEN YOU'LL KNOW WHY Jim

It may be instructional to keep another watery disaster in mind: The Japan tsunami.
After it left even more destruction in its wake, guess how much looting and crime occurred?
None.
I guess it's just an "ethnic thing."
(is that racist?)

No, it's not a racist observation, Bob. Communities, societies, countries act differently under stress.

I don't think I defended the actions of thugs during Katrina, Jim. I'll have a look.
Cuba fared much better with preparedness for Katrina.

Cuba didn't have someone Like then Mayor Nagan....who took off runnning before the storm ever got there.
Or the worthless then Governor Kathleen Blanco .....
If they were Cuban they would have been jailed and beaten to an inch of their lives and then beaten again.
Because they were typical libtards they just Blamed Bush when Bush was the LAST person who could step in.....the request for help from FEMA must come from the Gov of the state....
What the libtard press didn't tell most people was MIssissippi suffered far worse damage than New Orleans. THe difference is that state wasn't populated by a bunch of lazy bums who wouldn't get off their butts unless someone promised them free stuff......THey (the blacks of New Orleans) could have found a way to get to Colorado overnight if there was free stuff to be had.
Yes knew someone of position in that region that saw it in ways the average person didn't.

The liberals are asking us to give Obama time. We agree, and think 25 to life would be Appropriate.

The good people of the Mississippi river states pulled together in flood disaster and fixed their own problems... without government or crime. The blacks of New Orleans, LA, Detroit, Chicago, et al, see disaster as an opportunity to loot, rape, destroy, steal, retrieve a couple $100,000 from their home freezer ... and blame it on racism/oppression. (chek yo histri buks)

(chek yo histri buks) Exactly....The People of MIssissippi got off their butts, cleaned up things....rebuilt what they could.....while 7 years later the blacks (most of them are anyway) of Nola still sit around on their butts whining about why EVERYTHING hasn't been done for them.

Cuba fared much better with preparedness for Katrina. In my above post: WHY? No response In my above post: WHY? No response In my above post: WHY? No response NO: You didn't "defend" the thugs actions you just blamed everyone but them. And AS USUAL, you can't respond to any of the specifics I posted above because they happen to be factual and documented so you take the expected Libtard approach and sidestep them. I expect I will join Keith here and just quit responding to inane comments like the one I quoted above. It's like trying to explain something to a Chinaman in Greek. Enough said. I made my point.

Jim, members do not answer every questions posed here, rhetorically or otherwise. I don't expect it and neither do others. There's nothing new under the sun here or elsewhere. We all know each other's opinions, from the liberals to the loonies and everything imaginable in between. No one feels an obligation to comment one way or another. Who has the time? (No answer required.)
The questions you mention invite comment of cultural comparisons and race i.e US South and Japan, and US South and New York. There's nothing thinly disguised about your feelings in this matter. It's as plain as pudding: you ascribe to all blacks a criminality and lack of human values. My parents taught me to not dignify this stuff with an answer.
Nothing personal. You are a valued contributor. Your posts are often informative. I would be corrupted by engaging in anything that provided greater circulation to your feelings about blacks. I believe if there is any such thing as god's chosen children they are black. They rebelled only a couple times in the centuries of their suffering with American slavery.
