Posted on entry The otters return, and they're on fire ::: September 03, 2005, 12:56 PM:
To willfully withhold basic life support from tens of thousands of desperate people because you think it will discourage evacuation is—actually, I have no words strong enough for what it is. Unconscionable. Morally depraved. A crime against humanity. Nothing seems strong enough.

I have a word for it. Murder.

Which is a gut instinct, totally emotional response, but that is exactly how it strikes me.

I lurk here almost everyday. I want to thank you for gathering all this information. I get more sick at heart each day and more disgusted with how inept the response to this disaster is -- but I need to know what is going on, to stay informed, so I keep following links and reading.

And I keep wishing there was a way to totally bypass FEMA and all the other Federal agencies. They have f*ck*d this up beyond redemption. I wish they would just get the hell out of the way and let people who would actually do something in there.

Which will never happen. So yeah, murder sounds right to me.
