WOW! NY considering using prison for displaced Sandy vitims!

Ye think that´s scary? Wait till it´s the real thing!




How much more obvious can it get? They aren´t even trying to hide it anymore. I bet even if they slapped ankle chains on these people- everyone else would say something stupid like, "It´s probably for there own protection".

Bloomberg called them relocation camps, that was a statement when someone was complaining. I thought that was interesting.
Been concerned about people up there since he said it!

THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH OBAMA OR PUTTING PEOPLE INTO CAMPS. ETC. IT HAS TO DO WITH AVAILABILTY. BETTER TO HAVE A ROOF OVER YOUR HEAD AND HEAT THAN SITTING IN THE STREETS.

ONE HAS TO MAKE USE OF WHAT IS AVAILABLE IN THE AREA SINCE FOLKS DONT SEEM PRONE TO GO ELSEWHERE. IN A CRISIS LIKE THIS, IT TAKES TIME FOR FEMA OR THE OTHER AGENCIES TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE. SO THEY DO WHAT THEY CAN IN THE MOMENT.

WHERE IS THE GRATITUDE?

JUST BECAUSE WE LIVE IN AMERICA DOESN'T MEAN WE ARE ABOVE LIVING IN TENT CITIES LIKE THE REST OF THE WORLD.

BUT I CANT HELP BUT WONDER WHY THE HOTEL CHAINS ARENT MAKING ROOMS AVAILABLE?

why not prisons?

it's not like there are millions upon millions of empty foreclosed homes all over the country...

wait, that won't work
what was i thinking?
those homes are "private" property
that would be socialism
because they're bank property
and it's not like we gave the banks trillions or anything...

This is a good idea.

It is vastly better than "Camp Freedom" in NJ.

3 hots and a cot in a heated sanitary building is exactly what displaced people need -- not what they want, but it's just right for a shelter.

Bloomberg was absolutely right to prevent Obama from going into NYC. The contrast is stark, not because FEMA is useless, but because apparently it is vicious.

Hmm... This prison and six others were ordered closed just last year. That's pretty convenient. Lots of room for all

I thought about this the other day... There are so many vacant homes longing for a family to love them. This would be a great way for the banks to give back to the people....

Actually now the Fed substantially owns a lot of them and may have title in hand for some of them. So if the Fed is working together with Washington on this -- which is a part of Bernanke's job as I see it -- they could do this.

okay creepy apologist, nervous that your team isn't looking so good, or people are catching on?

I already know your kind want the US to become like "the rest of the world" and by that you mean the lowest of the third world...

oh yeah and one more thing:

WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU YELLING IN ALL CAPS?

Great!

You go first

I love when do-gooders are so quick to shove solutions down other people's throats that they would never consider for themselves or their families in a million years

words of wisdom from Sweden.

Because any hotels within a 150-mile radius of the NY-NJ metro area were booked FULL before and in the days after the hurricane! Some people DID flee!!!

they won't admit to owning them i doubt
they'd rather they sit empty

but, if they did do this just imagine...
every neighborhood could have its own section 8 housing
that would help the tensions in this country, wouldn't it?
people lose their homes only to watch the government give them away
while the former homeowners are on the streets or living in dumps?
that wouldn't cause any resentment, huh?
hmmmm
lots of food for thought there

but, then, keep in mind
the fed is not exactly "federal"
it's a system of privatize the profits at our expense and then socialize the losses
the houses they've gained are "profit" to them
but then, what isn't?
we should all register as banks
:)

This whole time when they have been talking about "eradicating poverty" they really meant "eradicating the poor"

Yep, that's what the communists do with the useful idiots when they're no longer useful.

agreed; know your history


The jews went without protest into the waiting trains

Americans would do themselves a service to watch those old
movie reels made during WWII

Camp Freedom!

And then, some will decline business travel opportunities because they do not consent to cavity searches for the privilege of air travel.

Ever been raped? Ever been raped in the presence of others? Ever been gang raped? Ever been sexually molested in public? Those who have know what "cavity search" equals.

I am willing to bet that if you were one of those cold, hungry and displaced persons...you'd be first in line for a nice warm bed and three hot meals and a shower.
What if you have young children...would you deny this opportunity just because it's an empty prison?

Try putting yourself in their situation as you sit at your desk in your nice warm home with a plate of hot food in front of you while you type disparaging remarks about how TPTB are trying to enslave us. I see it as someone trying (at least trying) to find a humane solution to this terrible plight these people are going through.

These families were just like yours...they had homes, mortgages, heat, food, clothes, until last week.

Natural disasters happen. And as untrusting of GOVt. that I am personally, I would be the first in line to keep my family warm and fed.

It's only the beginning of November people...do you realize how cold New England gets in the winter?

thats what they should have done with all the criminals who relocated to the streets of houston after katrina hit new orleans...

Kill Prison or Camp Freedom? What a choice! Check the menus.

THIS

trail of tears

Hell YEAH! Sign me up!

Funny how the people who are assuming the worst and complaining don't have the need to go to these shelters.

Enjoy your hot lunch as you sit in your nice warm home.

ASSHOLES.

It is already here. Look at any rail-head & mainlines, interstates roads, rural roads transporting the more malevolent armor; they are everywhere, and they are not US properties.
