A look into whats going in Lousiana after Katrina / Rita by localG - GoFuckYourself.com

Jer · 03-13-2006, 09:31 PM

localG has been in New Orleans since October 2005 working and helping people put their lives back together after Katrina / Rita
He lived in his truck for two months in New Orleans, now he's in a camper.

If you want to see pictures of the destruction taken by localG on the last week of January 2006 go to
http://www.sportfishermen.com/board/...ead.php?t=6159

It still look this this. Thousands of families living in tents (no, not trailers).
Fishermen can't work since their boats are destroyed or need repairs.

Watch this video shot in Feb 06 when a member of the site went down with his video camera to help localG to show the world how Louisiana looks like months after the hurricanes
http://www.sportfishermen.com/media_.../venice_la.wmv

For more videos go to
http://www.sportfishermen.com/board/...ead.php?t=6654

Sportfishermen.com members are helping a lot but as you can see Louisiana needs way more help...
or do you think this view is normal after over 6 months Katrina hit Lousiana?

Members have made donations of about $50k worth of trailers, cash and supplies.
10 people have been put in housing, 5 of witch were young children. A mans commercial boat will be fixed and back fishing by may for the season and he will be able to make and supply his family with a income. The products to fix this boat was from donations from members.
3 Trailers were donated. These trailers will be used and the second the people find better housing others will be put in these trailers.

For more details, pictures and videos check out the links below

Please help us make more people smile

I could talk for hours here.

If you have any contacts in radios, TV stations, magazines, newspapers please forward them this message.

How about posting about this on your blog with a link to the Katrina / Rita forum?
Or maybe a link on your site(s).

Thank you.

tony286 · 03-13-2006, 10:40 PM

government was all talk and they did shit, if it was beverly hills it would be rebuilt already.

Pornwolf · 03-13-2006, 11:03 PM

The government has secretly cut their losses when it comes to New Orleans. It has wanted to cut state funding for it for some time now. New Orleans was the closest thing this country had to a third world city. The town didn't all look like the French Quarter. Far from it. Katrina just gave the State gov a reason to cut and run. The emergency budget given to it won't make a dent. You can expect Baton Rouge to be bigger and better though, that's where the states gambling money is going to come from.

It's nice of Local G to help make a few lives better no matter what the government does, or doesn't, do.

pr0 · 03-13-2006, 11:10 PM

thats great, i'm glad to see people are actually getting help down there, as oppossed to the empty promises provided by the government

Give it to localG, you can see what Sportfishermen.com is doing if you take a look at the pictures, watch the videos and read the threads over there!

Jer · 03-14-2006, 05:04 PM

localG is now doing FREE DEMOLITIONS

He found a company who was willing to donate some very heavy pieces of equipment for him to run down there to push homes out to the right of way.
Once a house is in the right of way they will get picked up.

So starting today John is pushing homes for free so people can get trailers on their land.

Don't hate on me, but instead of (okay, *as well as*) sending money all you Americans who really want to help should go after your government. All those taxes you pay are supposed to be for disaster relief, recovery, etc. and when you give cash, you're bailing out this inept administration.

Sounds cold, but if I was living down there, I'd honestly be a lot more furious your gov't is using your money (even indirectly) on rebuilding Iraq instead of your own cities.

In any event, it's great to see people volunteering and helping but your gov't really has fucked over the people affected by this disaster. Damn shame.

KRL · 03-15-2006, 01:24 AM

This hurricane was a fucking monster storm. It took out the entire coastlines of 3 states.

I don't think even if the government was on top of things they could possibly handle this devastion in a quick easy to fix manner. Where the heck do you begin? The logistics are a total nightmare. People have left. Housing tens of thousands of workers is a major problem because there is no infrastructure at all. Business is all screwed up. Its a TOTAL DISASTER that will need hundreds of Billions the government doesn't have to repair it all.

That area is going to be fucked up for a long time.

Jer · 03-15-2006, 08:04 AM

the question should have been, have they even started to rebuild ground zero and can say without hesitation, no.

but good point, regardless.

While I understand that there are MANY people who deserve and need help, my sympathy is starting to wear thin. There are so many dumbass lazy fucks who don't do a damn thing to help themselves it is driving me crazy.

Still, props to localG for his efforts.

Don't think about "recovering all that", but "helping families get back on their feet". That's what we're doing.

No, it may be now, but before then it was by no means the richest but also by no means a 3rd world.

I would like to thank you for posting this, we know that people have gone back to business as usual and probably think that the situation has been wrapped up or is close to being wrapped up and that simply is not true. Honestly I do not know what to say, my family had made provisions for things like this, I likewise made my own provisions as soon as I moved out of their house. It is unfortunate that others did not take simular steps and now the worst has happened. Thank you for all the people who gave to help or came down here or are still here to help out the people of New Orleans but please do not forget about the equally needy, but it seems less popular, people of Texas, Florida and Mississippi. The big easy may have taken the biggest hit but we were in no means the only people effected.

Those of you who continue to give are very special and I hope that life will take care of you and repay you in as many ways as possible. For those of you who had nothing but scorn, contempt and negativity, well I can only hope that you are never in a position simularly through anyone's fault least of all your own and if you do, I hope that you never have to hear simular comments about your situation.

Not sure if this was aimed at me or not, but I will defend my statement anyway. I am in B.R. I have watched our hotel rooms destroyed (lady says she writes everything on the wall because "She ain't got no paper"). I have seen the gangs develop in schools that didn't have problems before. I have seen help wanted signs on every block, with store owners saying N.O. people are definitely not applying. I think the hurricane situation in N.O. was horrific. I wouldn't wish that on anybody. BUT, I really wish there weren't so many people just looking for handouts almost 7 months later. I feel terrible for those who are actually making an effort to get their lives back together.

He has an infected cornea. He was treated and released. He says that he can see ok and will be all right. Thank God.
