Just got a call from a friend who manned a Red Cross phone bank tonite |

Edited on Thu Sep-22-05 11:58 PM by Demonaut
she said most of the calls were people from Houston, most were stuck on the highway out of gas, she said too many gas stations had closed and many people had ventured out with too little gas, she told them that fuel trucks had been deployed and to pull off to the side and leave thier hoods up. One caller called and asked for twenty dollars for gas to leave the city, as she has no way of getting money to the guy she told him there was nothing she could do..he replied "I hope you fucking sleep well tonight, If I was some n****r with twenty kids I bet you'd help me..".......poor girl, she's a fucking VOLUNTEER!

6. staffed, not "manned", please. and, having witnessed the debacle that is |
|
the houston evacuation, one can almost understand the frustration and anger. I would NOT be in that position for anything. this is another cluster****, only dressed up to look like the texas officials are DOING something.
what a horrible, horrible mess.

And I suppose he thinks when a black person asks for help, it's welfare, but when he asks, it's just his god-given right.

9. Yeah, difficult not to think perhaps that guy should "pull himself up by |
|
his bootstraps and stop asking for handouts." (One imagines such words may have crossed his lips on occasion, given his remark to the volunteer.)

13. That caller sounds like a drunk. It's the kind of thing an |
|
alcoholic who's still on the way down would demand. They overflow with rage and self-pity. Ask anyone who's lived with one.
