>>GLP was right (again)...FEMA orders residents to stop giving out supplies after Hurricane Sandy—It was great until they stepped in, says local

[link to shelterislandreporter.timesreview.com]

Televised and published pictures plus personal appeals of Hurricane Sandy victims in New York and New Jersey touched the hearts of Shelter Islanders who generously filled truckloads of clothing and other goods bound for Island Park and Long Beach last week. But the word from the Federal Emergency Management Agency now is “stop.”

It’s not that the victims of Sandy have their needs met, but that FEMA has strict rules what can and can’t be accepted.

“We stopped taking things now,” said Marie Eiffel whose boutiques on Shelter Island and in Sag Harbor have been drop-off centers for goods that Sweet Tomato’s Jimi Rando trucked to neighborhoods devastated by Sandy.

“It was great,” Ms. Eiffel said. “We did get to those people before FEMA stepped in and it was a great turnout,” she said of the goods contributed by her friends and neighbors to boost the relief effort. Not only did Ms. Eiffel make her stores a drop-off point, but she contributed some of her own store inventory.

Shelter Island Police Officers Tom Cronin and Terrance LeGrady have suspended their efforts launched by Officer Cronin’s wife Susan, who posted a Face Book plea for contributions.

“We brought up a huge load and it was gone in 48 hours,” Officer Cronin said.

Glad all that red tape was cut.

It's almost like FEMA is designed to make things WORSE in the event of a disaster.

How long did it take you to realize this?

not almost like. that's EXACTLY right!

no pin? a lot of carp up there mods

fuck every federal agency these employees should be arrested for terrorizing their own citizens.

Treason doesn't often punish for a 2nd time... it's life in prison or the death penalty. Good luck to the people on the wrong end of this one.

we here in NYC that made it through OK have been helping out....a lot....seemed we were the only ones....
now the mayor and FEMA say we are not welcome?????
from the folks we have been helping.....
WE ARE.
and we are still working....for free!

They don't help and they don't want anyone else to help!
It needs to be disbanded!

FEMA does not want you to get familiar with your neighbours, no getting helpful, no sharing, fema just wants dog eat dog.

Lol, who do fema think they are, rofl. Tell them to go fuck themselves I would ;)

there will be secret sub- camps made in times of trouble. run from fema, and those looking for the displaced.

A Russian ship loaded with relief supplies is on its way to the east coast, according to a recent GLP thread. What kind of reception will it get? Bloomy saying their food can't be checked for sodium & sugar content? FEMA just flat out telling them to go away, as they typically do?

That garbled explanation from FEMA about why they don't want the neighbors helping is really incredulous. Bet the neighbors keep doing it anyway after FEMA morans go home for the day.

:helloglove:

:FletchFist7:

well if the citizens all show up to a drop off point armed, who is gonna stop them from receiving donations. The solution is clearly to form a spontaneous army of needy people armed to the teeth and if anyone tries to stop the distribution of goods from person to person then you politely tell them to go away OR ELSE.

I was being sarcastic you nuts :]


The point stands fairly obvious I think.

FEMA does the OPPOSITE of its publicly stated mission.

...just like ALL federal programs and MOST institutions:

Doctors destroy health
Judges destroy justice
Churches destroy spirituality
Schools destroy knowledge
EPA destroys the environment
Science destroys truth
Big Agro destroys food
Media destroys information
Government destroys freedom
etc.

Good Job Brownie!

Whatever happened to the days of just helping out your fellow man? We are wasting tax money to pay someone else to do the things we should have been doing all along.

And yet they continue to consistently vote for bigger and bigger govt .

Starve, yankees.

The explanation is that THEY WANT ABSOLUTE CONTROL OVER EVERY LIVING SOUL.

Period.

you know we outnumber the government jerk-offs 99 to 1 right? they can whine and complain that something is against the rules but really they don't stand a chance of really stopping anything if the people are determined.

There is no reason to acknowledge authority figures anymore, they have no integrity and forfeited their right to having any say over our lives a long time ago and we have been patient and tolerant waiting for them to clean up their act but clearly they will not. So they can go sit in the corner and STFU. Let the real people do what real people do and leave the retards sulking because nobody gives a damn what they say anymore.
