Katrina deaths were the result of the failure of the city of N.O. , the county, and state of La.
The federal government is not the first responder. The local government is and they failed miserably, but the media tacked it on Bush because they knew it would work.
Thankfully, New Jersey had adults in charge to make prompt and necessary decisions based on the safety of the people.
Wrong. They were the result of the failure of the Army Corps of Engineers. That's already decided by the courts.
And just to demonstrate that what you don't know would fill volumes, Louisiana has no "counties". Never did.
Don't come in here unarmed; there are Katrinites who know better. And we remember.
Doesn't matter if they have counties or not, the locals did not do their job and they got off scott free unaccountable for their lack of preparation. It's understandable though. They were democrats and minorities mostly, perfect for blaming someone else.
No, that's what you just did, and only those from the shallow end of the gene puddle who take every human story as an invitation to put points up on some scoreboard for their pathetic "red" or "blue" team can possibly see it that way. Unfortunately the Army Corps of Engineers doesn't have a D or an R after its name, so you flail around in desperation. The fact is Louisiana has been through more hurricanes than you have letters on your keyboard, and only Katrina broke the dyke -- which is where the vast majority of death and devastation came from. That's not the doing of Kathleen Blanco or George Bush; it's the Army Corps of Engineers. Too bad for your simplistic mind they're not wearing a political colour.
That you don't know about Louisiana parishes just underscores your ignorance. You obviously don't know jack squat about what locals did what -- beyond, I suspect, what Sylvester the Cat tells you on Fox Noise. And I vividly remember Shepard Smith standing on the Crescent City Connection bridge telling Sylvester he was full of shit.
I told you you're not going to get anywhere with the history revision thing when there are Katrinites in this thread who know better.
You don't want the other one to take you on. I'm the nice one. Count your lucky stars.
