  • Sorry man, I’m posting from a phone here. Some is “trust me bro” and local hearsay, some you can look up pretty easy. Levy in front of the 9th ward is the one people say was dropped most, news media has plenty of footage of roof campers, “Danziger Bridge shooting” will get you something hard to watch, Zillow or Google Maps New Orleans before and after would show you the shift in demographics and property values, government response including forced evacuation, stadium “housing”, and curfews should be pretty much public record and Red Cross did some whistleblowing at the time. Trying to explain this is making me feel old, felt pretty obvious while it was happening

















  • Man I want to start off saying this is a good post for the most part, but if you were around for Katrina you would not include concern about fema camps in a list of conspiracy theories. They intentionally dropped levies to drive people from their homes, corralled them in a stadium until they could be shipped off, and started shooting at anyone who escaped that process on sight as a looter. “Follow the money” is always good advice, relief funds were delayed until desperate former residents had to sell the wreckage of their lives to developers for pennies on the dollar and the ghouls who orchestrated the whole scenario made fortunes building luxury homes on stolen land with government money when they finally did come through. People were camping on their own roofs and getting shot at by the national guard. Sorry if I got kinda intense, worst period of a lot of people’s lives.
