I said this when it happened--& INCURRED THE WRATH OF AS-HOLES WHO SAID I WAS BEING "HATEFUL" FOR CALLING LOW CLASS TRASH--"TRASH"----
That is what you get when you try & help LOW CLASS TRASH--WHETHER THEY "DIDN'T HAVE A BUS IN NEW ORLEANS" OR THEY JUST "SWAM THE RIO GRANDE"---
YOU CANNOT HELP LOW CLASS PEOPLE--THEY HAVE NO MORALS--SO THEY TAKE WHAT THEY CAN GET & RUN--
Cookie thinks their is "MORE TO COME"--??

This still does not excuse the trailers being torn up and trashed! Two wrongs never make a right! Those who trashed our trailers still should be held accountable!

Not all of them. You should really look at what I have seen. You might determine I am right or at least partially right in my conclusions. GSA website is at www.gsaauctions.gov/ follow links to trailers. Take a good long look at these trailers. Only a couple of them state there is an odor. There are just too many of them trashed for these to have been toxic units. Look, observe, then tell me what conclusion you make.

This doesn't suprise me. Both my sisters are in the apartment business. My baby sister is assistant manager at an upscale community inside the loop, and she says you would not BELIEVE how badly the apartments for the evacuees were trashed. My younger sister was bookkeeper for a larger community in the Gulfton/Westpark area. She quit because the large number of evacuees trashed their apartments, the common areas, smoked pot and drank in the common areas, gunshots were common, people were getting mugged in the laundromats in the middle of Saturday afternoon..the last straw was when she saw a woman come screaming out of one apartment, a guy with a gun chasing her-he caught the woman, grabbed her by the hair, and drug her kicking and fighting him, back into the apartment. My sister called 911 from her cell phone, and it took the cops three hours to get there. She turned in her resignation the next day..her first question at her interviews after that was not about pay/benefits/hours but "Do you have any evacuees here?"
Boils down to this...beggars CANT be choosers. And you don't appreciate whats given to you as much as stuff you have to pay for yourself. A lot of the evacuees, not ALL, but alot, are used to being taken care of by the government, so are used to being mollycoddled. They could abuse their belongings because they replaced them so often, or the state would repair it.

I think this goes back to learning what is right and wrong in your home. When you are a guest in someone else's home there is a code of conduct; you are supposed to be at your very best behavior. They were guests in our city; their behavior as being guests didn't match. Kinky Friedman, running for governor, got a lot of heat for saying something negative about the Katrina evacuees. If you live in your own home, there is a code of conduct. Greg Groogan has a blog right now asking for input about raising kids today and this thing about entitlement. Sometimes I get frustrated enough to say that we should find out a way to turn off the reproductive ability in both men and women. It only gets turned back on if you go through and pass a parenting class. Then two people who have passed the parenting class can have children because both of their reproductive abilities are on. This way people who have no clue about what it means to be a parent can't have children.
