The more things change the more they stay the same. You just know he wouldn't have treated these people like this if they were white.
Publicly assisted evacuees in Jefferson begin arriving to mixed reviews
Publicly assisted evacuees began returning to Jefferson Parish in droves Friday, with some describing the experience as horrendous (snip)
"This is not Jefferson Parish's responsibility; it was dumped on us by the State of Louisiana at the last minute," said Bonano. "Obviously people at the state level were making decisions for us without even asking us. We're up to our eyeballs in issues right now trying to get these people out of here." (snip)
"This was the first and last time," said Rakena Holmes of Avondale, who evacuated to Shreveport with several family members, including her wheelchair-bound brother.
"We thought that with my brother being disabled, this would be easier. But it was chaotic. Next time we'll use our own transportation."
Holmes said she and 3,000 other people were housed in a vacant Sam's Club warehouse, where they slept on cots and dined on hot dogs, chicken patties and green beans.
"You'd stand in line for an hour and then they'd run out of food," she said. "It just wasn't organized."
