Boing Boing: Katrina: survivor first-hand account from Charmaine Neville

Our country, Tis of Thee. Shit, if I could, i'd go. I wish I had a helicopter. And some guns.

There were alligators eating people, babies floating in the water, hundreds of bodies of dead people..

"We understood why the police couldn't help us but we didn't understant why the National Guard wouldn't stop and pick us up from the roof...

"Some men came and they were raping our women...

If they hadn't left us out there like animals this wouldn't have happened... there are still thousands of people trapped down there downtown.. old people, young people, babies, pregnant women, nobody's helping them...
