Another account of a volunteer in New Orleans (graphic)

Razorguns

Well-known member
Another reason why i couldn't care less about the low-life bums in new orleans who DEMAND help, but wouldn't move a finger to help themselves.

-----------------

These are not my words, but those of a volunteer in Houston of all places

SO I VOLUNTEERED..........
Current mood: disappointed

I thought I might inform the few friends I have on my recent traumatic experience. I am going to tell it straight, blunt, raw, and I don’t give a damn. Long read, I know but please do read!!!



I went to volunteer on Saturday at the George R. Brown convention for two reasons.



A: I wanted to help people to get a warm fuzzy.



B: Curiosity.



I’ve been watching the news lately and have seen scenes that have made me want to vomit. And no it wasn’t dead bodies, the city under water, or the sludge everywhere. It was PEOPLE”S BEHAVIOR. The people on T.V. (99% being Black) where DEMANDING help. They were not asking nicely but demanding as if society owed these people something. Well the honest truth is WE DON’T. Help should be asked for in a kind manner and then appreciated. This is not what the press (FOX in particular) was showing, what I was seeing was a group of people who are yelling, demanding, looting, killing, raping, and SHOOTING back at the demanded help!!!!! So I’m thinking this can’t possibly be true can it???? So I decide to submit to the DEMAND for help out of SHOCK. I couldn’t believe this to be true of the majority of the people who are the weakest of society. So I went to volunteer and help folks out and see the truth. So I will tell the following story and you decide:



I arrived at the astrodome only to find out that there are too many volunteers and that volunteers where needed at the George R. Brown Convention Center. As I was walking up to the Convention Center I noticed a line of cars that wrapped around blocks filled with donations. These where ordinary Houstonians coming with truckloads and trunks full of water, diapers, clothes, blankets, food, all types of good stuff. And lots of it was NEW. I felt that warm fuzzy while helping unload these vehicles of these wonderful human beings. I then went inside the building and noticed approximately 100,000 sq. ft. of clothes, shoes, jackets, toys and all types of goodies all organized and ready for the people in need. I signed up, received a name badge and was on my merry way excited to be useful.



I toured the place to get familiar with my surrounding; the entire place is probably around 2 million sq. ft. I noticed rows as far as the eye can see of mattresses, not cots, BLOW UP MATTRESSES!!! All of which had nice pillows and plenty of blankets. 2 to 3 bottles of water lay on every bed. These full size to queen size beds by the way where comfortable, I laid in one to see for myself. I went to look at the medical area. I couldn’t believe what my eyes were seeing!!! A makeshift hospital created in 24 hours!!! It was unbelievable, they even had a pharmacy. I also noticed that they created showers, which would also have hot water. I went upstairs to the third floor to find a HUGE cafeteria created in under 24 hours! Rows of tables, chairs and food everywhere – enough to feed an army! I’m not talking about crap food either. They had jason’s deli food, apples, oranges, coke, diet coke, lemonade, orange juice, cookies, all types of chips and sandwiches. All the beverages by the way was put on ice and chilled!!!! In a matter of about 24 hours or less an entire mini-city was erected by volunteers for the poor evacuees. This was not your rundown crap shelter, it was BUM HEAVEN.



So that was the layout: great food, comfy beds, clean showers, free medical help, by the way there was a library, and a theatre room I forgot to mention. Great stuff right????



Well here is what happened on my journey –



I started by handing out COLD water bottles to evacuees as they got off the bus. Many would take them and only 20% or less said thank you. Lots of them would shake their heads and ask for sodas! So this went on for about 20-30 minutes until I was sick of being an unappreciated servant. I figured certainly these folks would appreciate some food!!! So I went upstairs to serve these beloved evacuees some GOOD food that I wish I could have at the moment!



***The following statements are graphic, truthful, and discuss UNRATIONAL behavior***



Evacuees come slowly to receive this mountain of food that is worth serving to a king! I tell them that we have 2 types of great deli sandwiches to choose from – ham and turkey. Many look at the food in disgust and DEMAND burgers, pizza, and even McDonalds!!!! Jason’s deli is better than McDonalds!!!! Only 1 out of ten people who took something would say “thank you” the rest took items as if it was their God give right to be served without a shred of appreciation!!! They would ask for Beer and liquor. They complained that we didn’t have good enough food. They refused food and laughed at us. They treated us volunteers as if we where SLAVES. No not all of them of course…but 70% did!!!!!! 20% where appreciative, 10% took the food without any comment and the other 70% had some disgusting comment to say. Some had the nerve to laugh at us. And when I snapped back at them for being mean, they would curse at me!!! Needless to say I was in utter shock. They would eat their food and leave their mess on the table… some would pick up their stuff many would leave it for the volunteers to pick up. I left that real quick to go down and help set up some more beds. I saw many young ladies carrying mattresses and I helped for a while. Then I realized something…their where hundreds of able bodied young men who could help!! I asked a group of young evacuees in their teens and early twenties to help. I got cursed at for asking them to help!!! One said “We just lost our ****ing homes and you want us to work!!” The next said “Ya my lover, you got a home we don’t” I looked at them in disbelief. Here are women walking by carrying THEIR ****ING BEDS and they can’t lift a finger and help themselves!!



WHY THE **** SHOULD I HELP PEOPLE WHO DON’T WANT TO HELP THEMESELVES!!!!



I waved them off and turned away and was laughed at and more “white boy jokes” where made at me. I felt no need to waste my breath on a bunch of pitiful losers. I went to a nearby restroom where I noticed a man shaving. I used the restroom, washed my hands and saw this man throw his razor towards the trash can...he missed… he walked out leaving his disgusting razor on the floor for some other “my lover” to pick up. Even the little kids where demanding. I saw only ONE white family and only TWO Hispanic families. The rest where blacks…sorry 20% to 30% decent blacks… and 70% LOSERS!!!!!



I would call them NIGGERS, but the actual definition of a my lover is one who is ignorant, these people were not ignorant……they where ARROGANT @!#$S. The majority of which are thugs and lifetime lazy ass welfare recipients. We are inviting the lowest of the low to Houston. And like idiots we are serving the people who will soon steal our cars, rape, murder, and destroy our city while stealing from our pockets on a daily basis through the welfare checks they take. We will fund our own destruction.



By “US” I don’t mean a specific race, I mean the people who work hard, work smart, have values and morals. Only people who want to help themselves should be helped, the others should be allowed to destroy themselves. I do not want to work hard, give the government close to half the money I earn so they can in turn give it to a bunch of losers.



I don’t believe in being poor for life. My family immigrated here, we came here poor, and now thank God, and due to HARD WORK we are doing fine. If immigrants, who come here, don’t know the language can work and become successful... WHY THE **** CAN’T THE MAJORITY OF THE HOMEGROWN DO IT!!! If we continue to reward these losers then we will soon destroy our great country. I just witnessed selfish, arrogant, unappreciative behavior by the very people who need help the most. Now these same people who cursed me, refused my cities generosity, who refuse to help themselves are DEMANDING handouts on their own terms!!!!!!! They prance around as if they are owed something, and when they do receive a handout, they say it’s not good enough! Well you know what……these types of people can go to hell for all I care!
 
i like how all the black celebs.. are saying we aren't helping the people because they are 'black'.. then i like to hear information about how people were raping little babies inside the superdome.. and the gangs were basically running the entire thing till they were evacuated out of there..
 
I can't stand the DOUBLE STANDARD of racism. Anything anti-black is violently condemned and demonized...

yet white VOLUNTEERS!!! get hounded all day with racist honkey/cracker comments and the people who say them get rewarded with food and money. And u wonder why i ain't donating.

My friend just came back and couldn't handle all the negative comments from blacks who kept threatening him, making fun of him, hounding him and blaming him for his race. He also said "fuck this shit". Why doesn't the red cross show this shit when asking white people for money?

Racism is racism. This blind eye to this only FUELS more white vs black anger.

Who is getting to you in daily life?

So what there's a double standard?

You have the last laugh. You aren't poor or think in that manner. Let them say what they want. Let them starve while they're at it.

What you gonna do when people run to the government and complain that your apathy is letting them starve? Nice solution. "Ignore them and they'll go away".

It's okay -- it's how most middle-class/rich-class handle the poor.

I only do what I can.

I try to vote people who support similiar opinions and do not support those who don't.

I say a polite no when asked for contributions that I don't care about and just smile when the people smirk and say nasty things about me and how evil I am to support the "machine / corporations / etc".

Actually, that last point brings back memories. I remember when there was a massacre in China and I got called crap for a day because I said out loud didn't give a shit about it.

Good times.

AMMMMMEEENNNNNNNNNN !!!

welfare collecting bums who sit around and have sex and spit out more babies

Word. These people will get new homes, mortgages paid for, cozy cash entitlements, etc. in nice middle-class areas. All paid for us by us. Even jobs that will be preferred to them if they want to work (yeah right).

They have no place to yell at the hand that feeds them. Only their ignorance and racism shows here. Two things i do not wish to support.
 
Thats what Ive said from the beginning, and people scolded me for it.

I am not racist in the least...however what I WILL admit being is "classist," meaning (no matter what color your skin in) if you are from some ungrateful ghetto culture and act as if, chances are Im going to despise you on sight.
 
Funny, how when I posted this days ago, it got locked by a mod. God forbid somebody posts some shit that doesn't jive with the opinions of a Jackbooted asshat moderator.

I wonder how high the crime rates are going to increase in these poor cities, that welcomed this human garbage into their care. I'll bet you won't hear any reports of it either. People are too afraid of being called "racist" for that to happen anytime soon.

Human garbage is human garbage....white, black, brown, or whatever fucking colour you name it...shotguns and shovels would save you billions in taxes.
 
That guy is an idiot. These people have lost it all and many feel helpless. They don't know really how bad this is and all they want is their lives back.

If I was helpless, I wouldnt scold those who were volunteering for my cause, bitch because they didnt serve McDonalds, and portray an attitude that everything is owed to me.

Its like I said in another thread...a lifetime of our government catering to these oxygen thieves has created a despicable class all its own. How else would one explain looting in Texas and other states where these refugees have been moved to?
 
wow, great story and very sad too :(
 
That guy isnt an idiot, he actually wanted to help them (unless this is being an idiot), regardless of colour, but he is entitled to vent his anger at his treatment.

People who need, dont abuse. people who want, abuse. they deserve fuck all if they show no respect for help.

If oprah crys for help, she can spend her money and give it all to "her people", she may be seen as the new mother theresa or black pope.

Natural disaster sucks, but welfare means life sucks all the time, they should be used to it.
 
I have an aunt and this isnt in NO but I remember she came into the restaurant i was managing at the time and asked if we were hiring. I said no we arent
She said GOOD! then ill put an application in but make sure you dont hire me. They will cut out my foodstamps and welfare if I dont apply for a job
I just stood there with my mouth open.
i was like un freakin real. I almost talked to the main manager to get him to call her in for an interview and hire the lazy bitch

The guy got off his ass and went down to volunteer. Why is he an idiot? Why are you excusing the actions of the dogshits that treated him like crap? All volunteers should go home imho until they shaped up.

These people need to get the 400yr old chip off their shoulders !!! heck the chinese came over here as slaves and built the railroads...no complaints from us at all...don't see us saying you owe me this/that...go out and work for it and make something of yourself..but they can't and blame the Thomas Jefferson and whoever they can name.

I'm sure these $2000 debit cards, some will get 2-3 cards for themselves or steal them from elderly people who just received theirs....

saw my friend who works for exxon/mobil and lived in the french quarters...2 days before the hurricane hit, he took off to houston w/his laptop and clothes on his back..asked him what about his place, said its either flooded or looted completely...

as far as complaining about the deli meat, they are lucky to even have food after enduring a week without food/water....heck all the popeyes, kfc's should have donated food and made them happy....
 
please remember that anyone with any common sense and intelligence evacuated.

the peeps we all see on the tube are hardly represenatives of new orleans.....they are truly the skuzzballs of human society.

Interesting, I thought that we were all getting along down there.

That's the main stream media putting lipstick on the pig. They hide, twist and bend the truth so that only pleasant pictures of the different races and race relations are presented.

What you and a lot of Americans are experiencing now is referred to as Cognizent Dissonance. Cognizent Dissonance is what happens in your brain when the things you are taught slam up against your experiences.

This Volunteer in the original post probably believed in all the crap the cultural marxist/pollitically correct crowd taught him. You know, the old tired canards "Diversity is our strength" and "We are all the same" blah blah blah....

Well, he got an eye opener to the reality that we are NOT all the same and diversity causes division. A lot of Americans had their eyes opened by Katrina and the government is shitting, trying to put the tooth paste back into the tube. Here is an article that questions... Did the looting "really" happen?

http://www.boston.com/news/globe/ideas/articles/2005/09/11/up_for_grabs/? page=1

The spin begins .............. and the truth gets slowly sucked into the memory hole.

You all should go to some Australian and English news sites to get HARROWING first hand accounts of the 'cough cough' "Tourists" stuck in the Superdome for 4 days. By the way, in the censored contempory main stream media "Tourist" is code for white person.

The majority of the people that stayed behind did so because their welfare checks were coming out the next week!! That is a fact!

If you know anything about the welfare system in New Orleans you would know that these people flocked to that city because of the ease of living. They can get an easy low paying job that doesn't take much effort. Most of them pay just low enough so that the employees remain eligeable for welfare.

Katrina was a man made disaster... not a natural disaster. The people who stayed behind created it! Its a fact. Help could not go in because of the raping and violence.

I know plenty of people who went to help and were attacked. They had to go back with armed guards with machine guns.

So yes.. they have lost it all. The system they so easily manipulated is gone right now. What do they do. Flip the bird in the face of people who donated their time and money to help them. Those are the same people who were paying their welfare benefits.

Who wouldn't want their free ride life back? You can see it in all the posts of stories. They feel like they are entitled to everything. They will not work for it.

BTW. In my area we are having a problem with the people they are housing. There are a ton of sex offenders and people with serious warrants for their arrests being shipped all over the country.
 
It should also be noted that I donated 70 hours of my time at a Soup Kitchen so far this year.
All of the people there are from extreme situations. When I serve them food they are all greatfull and happy and say "thank you". It makes a shitty day worth while every time.
A lot of these people are drug atticts, retarded or abused. Yet, they still have the decencey to say thank you.

This is a damn scary thing. Most don't have any identity and sure as hell they won't turn in that information.
 
Truly sad to see the state of our society. I work for a television station and have seen both sides of the story. There are people who are thankful for the help ( usually older people) and then there are these young punks who are trouble.....demanding, disrespectful, unappreciative and ect.. It really stems from a lack of education and any life experience. If you turn your back to this issue now, you will only push it off on your kids. We can`t help those people who don`t want to be helped, but the children can still learn what being an american is truly all about....
 
Damn that's disgusting to read...we need more feedback from volunteers. I consider myself to be very very fair, disciplined. I'm also very radical and strong with my decisions. If those feedbacks are common and true, I'd say people, change your attitude 100%, open your eyes, change the law. Just because someone is a minority doesn't give him the right to be racist. Just because a proven successful race founded a nation doesn't mean they have to help everybody and be treated like shit in return. Stand strong and be rude. Seems like some people is crossing the line. We are watching lately black gangs beating soldiers, black gangs looting cities, black gangs shooting police officers, blacks abusing whites at pizza stores, WTF IS THAT!!!??? nobody will do nothing? I'd say THE GAME IS OVER. But what can I do? nothing. What many can do? A LOT.
 
nawlinz will truly be better off with all this trash shipped out...hope they stay where they are now...too far for them to walk back to nawlinz, lol
 
I plan on being in NO all day saturday. I will also volunteer at the Cajundome. My home town just opened up a shut down WalMart building that has been vacant for some years and are taking in new Evacuee's.

The schools are overflowing right now and they are begging for teachers. Louisiana's school system isn't the best already. There are a few higher ranked schools but they are far and inbetween. I fear out of desperation they will just end up hiring underqualified teachers and or not give proper screening.

My kids attend a damn good school acedemic wise but she still had 26 or hell I think more, kids in her class last year and only one teacher, no helper. They don't have enough teachers as it is.

Of the evacuees i've talked to, not one said they wanted to go back. They all wanted to head to Houston.

Yeah but they'll do the same somewhere else. What we need is discipline and order. Strict law. A change of attitude. In order to have a free country and a free society we need to respect each other. Those who don't respect others freedom should be eliminated from society. And since unfortunatelly we are talking about black criminals, the great majority of black people (that is good people) should be the first against these criminals. That would be a great help.
 
Another volunteer account:

"Jeff Rau, a family and now personal friend to whom I will forever be linked, and I were volunteering with a boat and pulling people out of the water on Wednesday. I have a first-hand experience of what we encountered. In my opinion, everything that is going on in the media is a complete bastardization of what is really happening. The result is that good people are dying and losing family members. I have my own set of opinions about welfare and people working to improve thier own lot instead of looking for handouts, but what is occurring now is well beyond those borders. These people need help and need to get out. We can sort out all of the social and political issues later, but human beings with any sense of compassion would agree that the travesty that is going on here in New Orleans needs to end and people's lives need to be saved and families need to be put back together. Now.

I will tell you that I would probably disagree with most of the people that still need to be saved on political, social, and cultural values. However, it must be noted that these people love thier friends and families like I do, desire to live like I do, and care for their respective communities (I was even amazed at the site of seemingly young and poor black people caring for sickly and seemingly well-to-do white people and tourists still needing evacuation from New Orleans' downtown area) the same way I care for mine.

Eight people in particular who stood out during our rescue and whose stories deserve to be told:

1.) We were in motor boats all day ferrying people back and forth approximately a mile and a half each way (from Carrolton down Airline Hwy to the Causeway overpass). Early in the day, we witnessed a black man in a boat with no motor paddling with a piece of lumber. He rescued people in the boat and paddled them to safety (a mile and a half). He then, amidst all of the boats with motors, turned around and paddled back out across the mile and a half stretch to do his part in getting more people out. He refused to give up or occupy any of the motored boat resources because he did not want to slow us down in our efforts. I saw him at about 5:00 p.m., paddling away from the rescue point back out into the neighborhoods with about a half mile until he got to the neighborhood, just two hours before nightfall. I am sure that his trip took at least an hour and a half each trip, and he was going back to get more people knowing that he'd run out of daylight. He did all of this with a two-by-four.

2.) One of the groups that we rescued were 50 people standing on the bridge that crosses over Airline Hwy just before getting to Carrolton Ave going toward downtown. Most of these people had been there, with no food, water, or anyplace to go since Monday morning (we got to them Wed afternoon) and surrounded by 10 feet of water all around them. There was one guy who had been there since the beginning, organizing people and helping more people to get to the bridge safely as more water rose on Wednesday morning. He did not leave the bridge until everyone got off safely, even deferring to people who had gotten to the bridge Wed a.m. and, although inconvenienced by loss of power and weather damage, did have the luxury of some food and some water as late as Tuesday evening. This guy waited on the bridge until dusk, and was one of the last boats out that night. He could have easily not made it out that night and been stranded on the bridge alone.

3.) The third story may be the most compelling. I will not mince words. This was in a really rough neighborhood and we came across five seemingly unsavory characters. One had scars from what seemed to be gunshot wounds. We found these guys at a two-story recreational complex, one of the only two-story buildings in the neighborhood. They broke into the center and tried to rustle as many people as possible from the neighborhood into the center. These guys stayed outside in the center all day, getting everyone out of the rec center onto boats. We approached them at approximately 6:30 p.m., obviously one of the last trips of the day, and they sent us further into the neighborhood to get more people out of homes and off rooftops instead of getting on themselves. This at the risk of their not getting out and having to stay in the water for an undetermined (you have to understand the uncertainly that all of the people in these accounts faced without having any info on the resc! ue ef!
forts, how far or deep the flooding was, or where to go if they want to swim or walk out) amount of time. These five guys were on the last boat out of the neighborhood at sundown. They were incredibly grateful, mentioned numerous times 'God is going to bless y'all for this'. When we got them to the dock, they offered us an Allen Iverson jersey off of one of their backs as a gesture of gratitude, which was literally probably the most valuable possession among them all. Obviously, we declined, but I remain tremendously impacted by this gesture.

I don't know what to do with all of this, but I think we need to get this story out. Some of what is being portrayed among the media is happening and is terrible, but it is among a very small group of people, not the majority. They make it seem like New Orleans has somehow taken the atmosphere of the mobs in Mogadishu portrayed in the book and movie "Black Hawk Down," which is making volunteers (including us) more hesitant and rescue attempts more difficult. As a result, people are dying. My family has been volunteering at the shelters here in Houma and can count on one hand the number of people among thousands who have not said "Thank You." or "God Bless You." Their lives shattered and families torn apart, gracious just to have us serve them beans and rice.

If anything, these eight people's stories deserve to be told, so that people across the world will know what they really did in the midst of this devastation. So that it will not be assumed that they were looting hospitals, they were shooting at helicopters. It must be known that they, like many other people that we encountered, sacrificed themselves during all of this to help other people in more dire straits than their own.

It is also important to know that this account is coming from someone who is politically conservative, believes in capitalism and free enterprise, and is traditionally against many of the opinions and stances of activists like Michael Moore and other liberals on most of the hot-topic political issues of the day. Believe me, I am not the political activist. This transcends politics. This is about humanity and helping mankind. We need to get these people out. Save their lives. We can sort out all of the political and social issues later. People need to know the truth of what is going on at the ground level so that they know that New Orleans and the people stranded there are, despite being panicked and desperate, gracious people and they deserve the chance to live. They need all of our help, as well.

This is an accurate account of things. Jeffery Rau would probably tell the same exact stories.

Robert LeBlanc"
