According to the Tuesday, September 28, 2005, edition of USA Today, a former FEMA Director, while testifying before members of Congress, shook his finger at Rep. Gene Taylor (D-Mississippi) and told the congressman that he did not need a lecture from him.
Well if not from Rep. Taylor, the former FEMA director needs a lecture from someone. During the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, when much needed supplies should have been deliveed to the hurricane victims, the ex-director choose instead to address the looters via television. At the time of the address the persons in question could not see or hear the then FEMA director's comments, because there was no electricity in New Orleans. When I saw that, I thought, 'That is why no supplies are reaching the hurricane victims. If the FEMA Director does not know that the persons he is talking to have no way of hearing him, the victims are in serious trouble."
If the former director wanted to stop the looting, the best way to do that was to get the much needed supplies to the hurricane victims. The action of trying to address the looting via television was absurd to say the least.
