It's been local, not international. But it's not necessarily different. Or at least I don't think it is. I guess I'm too ignorant to know.
The national guard's been called in to keep the peace in New Orleans, yet the crime rate is still incredible. People are leaving who had intended to stay. And I get so angry and frustrated that with the help of the national guard they can't provide enough coverage to stop people from hurting each other. And yet, it would seem that they can't.
I'm just sad. And frustrated that people *want* to hurt each other and find a way. And that the government just can't stop that. I mean, they know where the problems are. Why can't they stop it?
