This is a older post but Gretna, La. still holds the shame of what its people did to the survivors of Katrina. We should never forget.

Democracy Waning knows that many people reached out to the victims of Hurricane Katrina. There were those people that reached out to saved lives, and those that reached out to make money. But then there was Gretna, Louisiana, who reached out with their prejudice and greed to protect themselves while sending hurricane victims to their doom.

When people tried to escape on buses from New Orleans over the bridge to Gretna, they were met by local and state law enforcement, who fired upon the buses, turning them around and sending them back to a cruel fate.

There was no remorse on the part of these officials responsible for sending the buses back. The sheriff appeared on CNN the next morning who proceeded to preen and boast about his reprehensible actions. He was too stupid to know what he did was outside the realm of common decency, as well as the law.

Its been two years since the officials of Gretna commited this deplorable act. Has the town of Gretna ever been held responsible for these crimes against humanity?
