The Misplaced Outrage

by @ 7:44 pm. Filed under Down the Middle, Not Progressive

The news reports and blogs are filled with finger pointing seeking to place blame on bush, big oil and the war in iraq for the current desperate state of lawlessness in New Orleans. Such finger pointing ranging in character from subtle insinuations to egregious manifestos of deranged fantasy stating that: 1) the bush environment policy caused the global warming that caused the hurricane, 2) that the GOP wants the Democrat-leaning populace in N.O. to be thinned out, and of course that there are not enough troops on the ground here because they are fighting a war in Iraq.

The goal of all such arguments seems to be to lay blame on the Bush administration for the current looting, raping and murder in the lawless streets of N.O.

But who is at root really responsible for the looting, raping and murder?

From all reports, black males on the loose travelling in packs. Causing mayhem amongst the already reeling population, many of them minorities of limited means in desparate need of help.

Where is the outrage against these men?

These are not innocent victims of circumstance, but cruel predators. They will be dealt with soon, if not soon enough for all of their victims. Now how will the public deal with their implicit defenders?
