i repeat: please let this be just a rumor

caught this sifting through some blogs

Please do not let this be true:

It is reported that black hurricane victims in New Orleans have begun eating corpses to survive. Four days after the storm, thousands of blacks in New Orleans are dying like dogs. No-one has come to help them.

The only thing that's keeping me from going out and buying an AK-47 at this point is the phraseology, "It is reported." Nice passive phrasing, no attribution. So we don't know how true it is.

But the fact that it's believable really brings into stark relief how fucked up and fucking awful this Administration and government and response has been. WHY ARE PEOPLE STILL THERE?
