I largely agree with you. The BS grates my nerves. Danger from the flood victims is miniscule to nonexistent. Water rescue alone is fraught with danger. I'm always wary of electricity in flood situations and wise to silent drownings from electrical discharge from boats and docks. My point is the BS detracts from the victims plight and the true heroism. The BS shouldn't be the story but invariably takes a life of its own. Fortunately it is being debunked as we "speak" by those organizing and coordinating the rescue efforts of the Cajun Navy. BS such as this is not benign and not without dire consequence to flood victims. It is not the banter of heroes.
More generalizations from you. Are you trying to tell this board desperate people don't turn violent? You wouldn't know because I'm pretty confident you've sat on your ___ during every catastrophe. It's always the ones on the sidelines that always have the answers... amazing.
You aren't cool enough to be a Rush fan. Rush Limbaugh...yes. You can't understand Neil Peart. You would probably call him a communist for allowing too many drums on stage. How dare he give all those drums opportunities!! The whiter drums are the better drums. Equal opportunity drum facist.
A man who changed his own screen name to run away from being a ____ty poster has no business commenting on my history. A leopard doesn't change his spots...
You further my point. From the perspective of violence it is undoubtedly the safest time to be in Houston. The likelihood of shots fired at Cajun Navy by flood victims is extraordinarily improbable. It is indeed more likely they suffer a self inflicted injury from a firearm, injure a peer or flood victim.
Someone fires a shot...and you are alone in a flooded neighborhood in a boat, how the ____ do you decipher if it shot at you, someone else or just in the air. Whoever this guy is he isn't all over the news claiming he almost died. He isn't trying to get a book deal, we don't even know who this person is. So to me, if someone was being dramatic and wanted attention they would seek it out: Reports of shots fired and as usual the dipshts all over Facebook took it and ran with it. I dont doubt for one second the person in that boat heard shots fired, sorry if this made those rescuers nervous...not everyone can be as brave as the mighty penrod sitting safely at his/her/its computer high and dry.
Hopefully noone will propagate any mistruths that undermine their noble mission.
