What's wrong with New Orleans?

What's going on in New Orleans is shameful. The way certain individuals are behaving, the gangs, the looting (non-food looting), the armed thugs robbing people.

I hate reading "Why?" postings but I don't know how else to express my feelings. It's so overwhelming and there is nothing being done.

The people are dying. The elderly, the sick, the weak. They've died.

Why aren't there food & water drops?

Where are the police? Where are the National Guard? If someone is shooting at a helicopter, why aren't they firing back and killing the bastards?

Where's Al Sharpton? Where's Jesse Jackson? Where's the Nation of Islam?

Where's Cindy Sheehan? Where's Sean Penn? Where's the anti-war protestors who are so concerned about Iraqis being killed?

Why the F** is this happening?
