The Greatest Nation in the World Cannot Give a Drink of Water to Victims of a Disaster

Tonight on CNN at 8:30, Paula Zahn spoke via phone line with Tishia Walters, a refugee at the Convention Center in New Orleans.

Let me just excerpt part of what Ms. Walters shared:

“There is no police, no authority figures…”

“There is nothing…”

“There is a 10 year old girl they tried to rape her, they broke both of her ankles…”

“I saw six people die today…”

“We keep asking them when help will come. The police are telling us: They’re coming…”

“We have diabetics, we have people, everybody who need some help…”

“A 13-year old got raped and now nobody can find her…”

I find it absolutely appalling that according to Paula Zahn, the head of FEMA had just found out that people were in such dire straits??

THESE PEOPLE WERE TOLD TO GO TO THE CONVENTION CENTER….AND THERE WAS NOTHING THERE FOR THEM.
