I'm emotionally spent and trying to hold on. I went to school at dillard so I know New Orleans, the good and the bad. I just don't want people to work themselves up into such a state that the people who really need us are abandoned by us out of fear. Forgive me anyone who I have insulted. Please, i dont want to see us torn apart by this tragedy. We have to stay together. Emotions are so high.
These are the kinds of debates that I was affraid would start the minute the focus shifted from the 99% of victims to the 1% of looters. I knew people would begin to fear them. I
have tried not to get swept up in my outrage at how they have been portrayed as a whole but it kills me to hear more fear than sorrow. Can you try to understand that. What I saw was babies and partents dying and I cant forget it. We all go to sleep knowing that mothers have lost children. I'm a mother. I could not live without my children. That is what plays out in my mind. I'm heartbroken. I can't do enough for them to erase it.
9/11 now this. I'm scared for us. We are all traumatized as we can be, but especially them and with feelings this strong I just pray we can hold it together. We are scared and lashing out when we need to hold onto each other for dear life
no more anger. God help us.
