No matter the % private vs public the government doesn't like it when private individuals cooperate and provide help in emergency situations. That is what this video focuses on.
We saw this in Houston during the hurricane last year.
I'm not saying it's a conspiracy of some sort it just doesn't get the mainstream media attention that it warrants.
No, you did not see it in Houston. The police were glad for all the help, and hundreds of Houstonians and the Cajun Navy came out with their jon boats and rescued people for days. The Academy Sports and Outdoors headquarters are right down the street from me, and the police and other citizens asked them to donate every jon boat and work boots they had and they did it. When the National Guard came in the Academy gave up their entire second story to allow them to operate from there. It was a massive operation, from civilians to first responders to the National Guard.
My friend was flooded in her home with a sick parent, and people in boats came by at least once an hour trying to encourage them to leave. They didn’t want to leave their house and ended up stuck in it for a week. We had a friend with a boat go bring them food. They were unprepared because their house was flooded from the release of the dam and had never flooded prior to that. But we did get 52” of rain in 72 hours, which is slightly more than our average annual rainfall.
The largest Staten Island ferry carries 6000 people. It ferried first responders and supplies to Manhattan and transported the masses who chose to evacuate by boat off Manhattan.
Thousands walked North away from the disaster and as many exited Manhattan on foot via the Brookly Bridge.
No shortage of people stayed put in office buildings for days.
The man who became president said “I watched in Jersey City where thousands and thousands of people were cheering as the WTC collapsed”.
There is nothing factual, including the above links, to support his perceptions.
That's not what the previous posts indicated, however. Some people don't believe any celebrating was done, even with evidence to prove otherwise.
And I just have to ask - since you believe nothing this man says, why believe he actually grabbed a woman's body part since you all keep repeating that over and over?
