Russian, that story is about right. I might get in trouble for this, but it's a total charlie foxtrot here. I'm working 14-16 hour days, mentally fried, depressed from watching the area I grew up in destroyed, embarrassed from the looters.
Today they had to send police to downtown Baton Rouge. Apparently the lowlifes are forming thug gangs here now too. We're at such a disconnect, anything I hear is wildass rumor until I see it confirmed on TV. I heard that about 3k people were holed up in the Dome, barricading themselves in threatening to kill anyone that comes in. Looters setting fires. I'm really asking myself why I care about those idiots, why am I breaking my body to save them?
The military dispatched supposedly 7k MP's, Sheriff Lee is trying to deputize people in Jefferson Parish (actual law enforcement agents from out of state, not the average joe).
I got politicians in the EOC with their "hangerons", you know, the little suckups. Our work area is clustered with people that have no business there and are just getting in the way.
We have agencies arcing off acting on their own without communicating or coordinating. We have ego's that are so inflated it's sad. We're so wrapped up in life saving, that we can't move on stabilizing people in shelters which is making their morale worse, causing higher tempers and flare ups.
And don't get me started on the gas stations around here. Fights are breaking out. I actually called my parents today and begged them not to go outside.
I better quit before I blow a gasket. Gonna crack a beer, hit bed, then start all over again early tomorrow.
