ioerror: Astrodome and beyond (Reliant Park)
One of several interesting photographs taken by ioerror in the NOLA area. There was wall to wall coverage of Katrina in NYC and the race issue loomed large. I still cannot believe what I see in these photographs and the reports I read: Murders, lynch mobs, rapes, snipers picking emergency workers off. Apocalyptic would best describe the situation.
That the fallout was preventable and plannable for is the real tragedy. Surely it does not matter what race the people involved are, the fact that Federal government is so feared and that local government is so incompetant should be what is at issue. George Bush may not care about black people, but the mayor (who is black) ordered 100,000 people to evacuate without actually providing any means for them to do so. It’s not race it’s stupidity.
Can you think of anywhere else on the planet this would happen?
