Quick trip to Louisiana and came back with this FEMA story

[Maestro]

I was recently in Lousiana for my grandmother's funeral. It was a great celebration of 91 years of life. During the funeral, I had some time to talk to the funeral director about Hurricane Rita which leveled the Sulphur/Lake Charles area. I would have talked to my family members but unfortunately that side of the family is freeperville and it includes this infamous uncle: Color Me a Satanist. Anyhow, I spoke to the director and asked him how the government response was after Rita hit. He stated that initially all was fine. The Guard came in and restored some sort of order. FEMA even initially acted like it genuinely wanted to help. However, after a while he said that FEMA resorted to some shenanigans. Apparently, the Guard or FEMA or some entity was upset that many in Sulphur/Lake Charles were disobeying the "Leave your home" orders. Consequently, FEMA sent out notice that it was giving out free water and food at a specific location. As people arrived they told them there was no food or water but rather a one way ticket on a bus out of the area. They loaded them up and shipped them off forcibly.

This guy swears it happened. What a sham! Many of the people couldn't leave because they had no where to go. Now they are shipped off forcibly? Disgusting.

On our way out of LA heading north on Highway 27 I ran across this sign in the front yard of someone's house. I think the people of Lousiana are going to have very long memories and we should too.

1. Sorry about your grandmother.

I do hope everybody has a LONG memory about what went on down there. We need to collect and save these stories so they can be told.
