And here is the problem with “down trodden areas” they wait with their hand out for help, versus doing things themselves. Take for example The Mexican penninsula compared to New Orleans. New Orleans still is not back, yet a year after a Category 5 tore apart the tourist capital of Mexico, it was completely back up and running. If you want a more local example, look at Rogers compared to North Minneapolis. Rogers themselves, even though FEMA came it, cleaned up in less than 1 week. They burried their dead and started to rebuild. North Minneapolis is still standing around with their hand out waiting for someone else to fix their problem for them. I do not care if you do not have resources, for the hundreds of people who have tried to help it appears to be a mindset that it you look or act pathetic enough, someone else will take care of it for you.

Fortunately or unfortunately, how you look at it, there will always be those kind souls that will show up and help, which is the way it should be. The people of this country should be helping each other without government involvement. I actually think JB has a very valid point, but I give credit to those who can find the goodness in every situation or location.

Listen i already help support these breeding machines through government assis. im not helping clean-up.

Always amazed at the trolls on ‘CCO and other news outlets waiting to pounce with their racist comments. Every disaster has the good people who feel compelled to volunteer, no matter where it is. I live in N Mpls and have volunteered, alongside a lot of other Northside residents who are also securing their own homes and helping their neighbors. It’s just another potshot of the ignorant people that hide under their internet names.
