Why is This? An Observation On The Floods…No Robbery, Looting, Or Asking For Trailers – With Video
Tweet
There’s been something I have been noticing within the last week or so during all of this “500 Year Flooding” going on in the Midwest and that is that these people from America’s Heartland are not afraid to roll up their sleeves and work their asses off to help their neighbors, protect their communities, and deal with what could arguably be the worst natural disaster to hit us since Hurricane Katrina.
Just about every news reporter that has covered both these floods and Katrina mentions how much like Katrina this whole siuation is…
But you know what I’m not seeing in this flood disaster that I saw down in ‘Nawlins after Katrina?
Not seeing Rape.
Not seeing Robbery.
Not seeing Looting.
Not seeing Murder.
Not seeing Cops so afraid that they shirk their duties.
Not seeing an atmosphere of fear, loathing, tension, violence, or despair.
What I am seeing is people in the Heartland rolling up their sleeves and getting to work.
I’m seeing people working to shore up levees to help prevent further damage.
I’m seeing people working to help little old ladies clean out the remnants of their lives.
I’m seeing people helping their neighbors.
I’m seeing people despite such tragic loss, maintaining a spirit of hope.
I’m seeing people coming together instead of dividing.
I’m seeing people helping out with neighborhood watch programs to maintain security.
I’m seeing people donating blood, money, time, effort, clothing, and food.
Why is that? I’m asking. How is this aftermath any different from what happened after Katrina?
I want to hear what you have to say.
And if you want to help out, here’s some thing you can consider doing…The Red Cross has run short of funds trying to help out. A donation to them, or to the United Way is a good start.
