Reply #73: I agree about conspiracy theories. That's ignorant. Criminals

who are taking advantage of this situation need to be dealt with and severely. Nobody cares about people taking food and clothes, but people who are shooting at helicopters trying to rescue the sick and dying need to be taken out. They are inhuman and we don't need them.

Now, to use these criminals as an excuse NOT to help people is criminal in itself. The response to this disaster was absolutely incompetent. What happened before with policy, etc., can be dealt with later, but nobody got off their ass to take care of this problem until it became politically suicidal not to. There is NO EXCUSE for the lack of response to this disaster. NO EXCUSE for the cronyism that has people in charge of our safety and well-being who are not qualified to handle the job. There is NO EXCUSE for our president to stay on vacation when he is needed at the White House to deal with this situation. There is NO EXCUSE.

I'm glad you're alive and well and I'm deeply sorry for the losses you have suffered - human and otherwise.
