We did have a terrorist attack under this administration, and it proved to be one of the most shining examples of humanity the country's ever seen.
Then you've got this... and it's the singlemost shining example of inhumanity ever seen. Fucking 7yr old children being raped and murdered in the Superdome... kids and women being ripped away from their families inside that hellhole to be dragged off and gang-raped for hours... I think about my little 7yr old guy sleeping safe in his bed right now, all innocence and spitfire, and how that could have been him, and something inside of me just rages and weeps both at the same time. I want death, I want justice... I want those poor children to be okay... but it's too late...
It comes down to the people, somehow. The humans - ? I wouldn't even call those animals that. The people of New York rose to the occasion, the people of New Orleans sunk into the deepest depravity imaginable.
And I can't help thinking it would've been just as bad, or worse, if there had been food and water inside the Dome. Then the gangs would've been killing people for food as well as killing them for sex. Having little 4 and 6 month old babies dying of starvation is unthinkable enough, imagine having some kind of material thing that those animals wanted and they're willing to kill you right in front of your family to take it from you.
I dunno, PD. There's a lot of major fuck-ups all along many chains of command in this situation, but I can't stop coming back to how the people themselves didn't have to dissolve into this level of barbarism.
