New Orleans Revisited

I wept and wept uncontrollably, as I listened to the first-hand account of one of the survivors of the Katrina disaster in New Orleans, which started one year ago today. The account spoke of the racist sheriffs who at gun point, either denied them access to neighboring communities above flood level, or who forced them from one shelter to another to avoid any build up of too many people in one place. It spoke about the lack of sanitation facilities, privacy, food, water, medical care and other necessities, that should have been provided, but were not. For five days they rambled about trying to find shelter, food, water etc., while waiting for buses that police officers swore were available, but were not. They spoke about being roused from temporary shelter underneath bridges on the highway, and having their precious little bit of water and food taken away by sheriffs who made them move on.
These are the people who did not leave because the could not. They did not have cars, money and other resources that would have enabled them to leave, like those who left the previous Saturday, when the mayor ordered the city to evacuate. I believe they were deliberately left to fend for themselves, because they were mostly Black and poor, and were also expendable because they were mostly Democratic voters rather than Republican. This is just a bit of the criminality, benign neglect and savagery engaged in by those in high places, while poor citizens struggled to live, and far too many suffered and died unnecessarily.
Will their be an accounting? Will those responsible be brought to justice? Did God witness the suffering and the deaths deliberately allowed? When will they have to pay for their crimes? Will derogatory comments directed at the victims by fascists like Beck, Limbaugh, Savage, Will, Coulter, be recorded and played back as an indictment against them?? ???
I think yes! And as a matter of fact, I stake my life on the certainty of the justice that only God the Creator, can administer. Every single person who suffered, died, lost their possessions and their livelihoods, and who lost their loved ones, will be avenged in due time.

No one will escape - no matter how rich, how powerful, how influential, how smart or how evil!
