Praying for tidal waves

To all of those people out there with no sympathy for the people left behind, those who are doing what they need to to survive...

I hope you all know how to fucking swim.

Mom's gonna fix it all soon.

Imagine you're a New Orleans resident who evacuated. How would you feel to return to your home in a week to find it looted? I'm not talking about missing cans of food or tampons. I'm talking about expensive electronics, and maybe some things that mean a lot to you.

"new orleans wasn't fucking destroyed utterly! YAY! how annoying, my tv is gone."

you're having a snit fit over a television set? jesus. they got lucky. so lucky. because 20 miles to the east would have been all it took to wipe out the whole fucking town and everyone abandoned in it. I'm sure you could have gotten weepy over an entire economic sector losing their lives, but now you're getting all fucking het up about stuff that was left behind when the assumption ran that it was going to be gone anyway.

That blows my mind, it seriously does.
