[lord nemesis]

I ain't trying to be funny and forgive me for my ignorance, but why would you need to rescue a fish in a flood?

That fish landed in a spot where it was shallow and would have died

You can't help yourself even in a thread about a devastating event? At least be funny, cornball.

Fish farm or imported fish pets maybe? I dont know the story you speak of, but those are possibilities. Them imported fish can get very expensive.

Everyone that works in the media is jaded to all this shit. They're all so emotionless when reporting on any of this.

They are ice cold. My coworker's son was killed last year on July 4th. She posted a pic of him on her Facebook. This mofos found her page and was in the comments like "Hey! Stacey here from NBC Chicago Channel 6. Can I have your number and give you a call for a statement?" So naturally, her family starts going off calling the reporter a dumb bitch. She comes back and responds "I have gotten a personal inbox message. She is actually very happy to talk to us about her son." She was gloating.

They fearless as hell though. They'll run up on a gunman to try to get a statement during a shooting.

That happened when my cousin got killed in '15. They search social media for mentions of the name then ask or dm the person to see if they can do an interview. I got one of those messages and promptly told them to kiss my ass and fuck off for not even allowing us 24 hrs to grieve before flooding my family with requests for an interview.

Thats fucked up cause a scared dog will bite quick as shit.

I would actually make sure my dogs were safe before I'd help my neighbors.

Some might see that as fucked up but I love my dogs and they part of my family.

Damn I want to know if they rescued that dog now.

While it is fucked up dude just sent out a tweet instead of an actual statement a friend of mine who is a pastor at a church in Baltimore just posted this and it is something to consider as to why some didn't open their doors sooner

Post hurricane Katrina, churches and other organizations learned to not just open their doors until they are designated as shelters. Once designated, they get resources to SUCCESSFULLY HELP PEOPLE. Resources like food, water, and security are vital for basic operations, but volunteers are needed to work the kitchens, bathrooms, and infirmiries. These elements are vital to ensure that the shelter does not become a dangerous place. When it opens before those arrive, it can do more harm than good. Just read up on what happened 2 days after hurricane Katrina when they opened up the Superdome before they had State and Federal resources. There were cases of rape, murder, suicide, theft, robbery, and destruction of property to name a few. Even though Katrina left New Orleans with no options, valuable lessons in disaster relief were learned.

While I do not speak for the church leaders in question, I do feel the need to put another side of the picture out there, because the Internet, Misinformation, and the Mob Mentality are too dangerous to go unchecked right now.
