    What you don't hear about hurrican evacuees on the news

     

     

    On our the last Louisianna evacuation due to Hurrican Gustav, we had to hear on every station and read in every newspaper about the pityful evacuess of New Orleans. Well let me tell you about some of the stuff that you did not see or read about. There were colleges in Alabama that took people from New Orleans in. Instead of them showing appreciation for the roof over their hood, 3 meals a day, and a place to sleep for FREE, they trashed the place, caused major damage. That is not the worst case yet. Another college opened their doors, and they had their office broken into, damage to the building, urine stains on the floor where the evacs slept. They pissed on the floor, such animals. Also, many local business, grocery stores, and even people walking were  broken into and robbed. The evacs also bragged how they were still getting $1300.00 checks from FEMA just for leaving their home, damaged or not. I saw so many get sent back to Louisianna with their car loaded down with free groceries, yet this is the thanks we get, vandalized, damaged, urinated problems they leave us. But the only people that hear about this are the ones who clean up after them and share it with other people, the news would be racist and non-caring if they covered this.
