Horrified

The tradgedy that took place in the gulf coast this week made me feel real sympathy for my fellow Americans. I was heart broken at the massive amount of suffering that took place. I was also disgusted at the reports of the violence committed by some of the ( for lack of a better word ) citizens of the gulf coast against their fellow man. I am not so much talking about the looting of food, water, and other basic essentials, that after all was neccessary for many peoples basic survival.
I of course am referring to the barbarians in New Orleans and elseware who robbed, rapped, murdered and assaulted their fellow citizens for there own personal gain. These thugs are the lowest form of human life. It is these kinds of people that make decent folks fear for their safety and for the safety of their loved ones. I was glad to hear that the national guard troops now restoring order throughout the gulf coast where told to take a heavy hand with these thugs.
As an optimist, I have always believe that mankind is inhearently good. However when I hear of such acts of barbarism during times of great tradgedy I wonder if my basic belief in the decency of my fellow man is misguided.
I wonder what posses a person to see such great suffering and think only of themselves. To see people hurting and try to use it to their advantage. Why in a situation like this one in the gulf coast, don't people put aside there petty personal interests and work together for the greater good?
New Orleans, the big easy a great city, a city of style and grace. The capitol of Jazz and blues, the home of cajun food and the garden district. A city which has played a pivotal role in this nations history, destroyed by mother nature, and yet worst of all violated by a small number of there own people. I weep for all the decent folks suffering tonight in the south. I weep for the Big Easy which will rise again, to even greater glory.
Finally I'd like to warn the thugs, and gangsters, and human vultures of the gulf coast. Their will come a day in this country when the good people finally have had their fill of being preyed upon and then human refuge like you will no longer be tolerated or excused as a product of your enviroment. You will be labeled for what you are, human garbage. You will be locked away no longer to prey upon decent people. I for one look forward to that day.
