Maybe some of the National Guards riding around an empty park in L.A. can come help🤔

Maybe some of those ICE soldiers obstructing kids camps in MacArthur Park in LA could spare some time to help real victims.

AUSTIN, Texas — Members of the Coast Guard and Texas National Guard helped rescue more than 700 people trapped by devastating flooding across the Texas Hill Country over the weekend that has resulted in more than 80 deaths, including 27 children.

(……..)
The Texas National Guard, which has roughly 230 troops deployed, has rescued 525 people as of Sunday, said Maj. Gen. Thomas Suelzer, commander of the Texas National Guard. Of those, 366 were air evacuations using a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter, Suelzer said. Troops were deployed to Kerr, San Saba and Burnet counties, and include a behavioral health officer, two chaplains and air crews for eight helicopters, Suelzer said. The 147th Attack Wing has deployed to provide high-resolution imagery to help determine the scope of flooding. The drone takes off from more than 280 miles away in Houston and received special clearance from the Federal Aviation Administration to fly to Kerr County at a lower altitude because of ongoing bad weather, Suelzer said.

6. I corrected post, to reflect lack of "enough" military national guard

I meant to convey a SHORTAGE of National Guard troops,

Didn’t mean “no” National guard.

7. Apparently the military are too busy terrorizing the people of Los Angeles to be of assistance where they are needed.

8. Shit-brained officials...

... in the hard-hit areas refused funds to improve their warning system because Biden offered it. That is the staggering magnitude of their stupidity and malice. Though I have sympathy for those who have lost loved ones, I have none to spare for the narrow-minded assholes that could have mitigated this disaster, but chose not to, because of their values?!!? No. They have none.
