This Pisses Me Off!

I heard this over coffee this morning, so I researched it and found...
"They killed a man here last night," Steve Banka, 28, told Reuters. "A young lady was being raped and stabbed. And the sounds of her screaming got to this man and so he ran out into the street to get help from troops, to try to flag down a passing truck of them, and he jumped up on the truck's windshield and they shot him dead."
"There is rapes going on here. Women cannot go to the bathroom without men. They are raping them and slitting their throats. They keep telling us the buses are coming but they never leave," she said through tears.
"We found a young girl raped and killed in the bathroom," one National Guard soldier told Reuters. "Then the crowd got the man and they beat him to death."
Now tell me what you think of when you read this. I know devastation has been the reality in New Orleans, but come on! Is this how you handle a situation if you are in it? Not to mention looting? This, along with FEMA, is a fucking disgrace to the USA. I am so pissed. Do these men think that they will never get laid again? WTF? New Orleans is a town that I anticipated visiting in the future because of it's culture. How could you do this to your own? Savage, humiliating beasts. Maybe in a third world country.. These men, if you call them that, should be looking for ways to help themselves and their town.
A friend of ours told a story of a town in Alaska that had severly flooded, wiped everything out. He was there as he was in the military. They gathered boats and knocked out the tops of windows to retrieve food that was either floating or above water level. Then they boated these items to a big dump truck and the needy (there were very many) had a scheduled time to come and pick up food to take back to their camp which was in the forest mind you, in ALASKA. They did this daily and it kept order among the citizens. They also found ways to boil water so it was potable. That's all I have to say.
