Communities Refusing Refugees

From The Times-Picayune:

An outraged New Orleans City Council President Oliver Thomas blasted the city of Baton Rouge and other Louisiana communities for what he called refusing to take in refugees from the devastated city.

"They don't want them," Thomas said, after bursting into the press room at the Emergency Operations Center in Baton Rouge."They have put out the word all over the state: 'Those bad New Orleans people. You don't want them.'"

Since the beginning of the aftermath of Katrina, Thomas has constantly said that the images on television of looters and reports of terrorizing by bands of young men have been misleading. "Not everyone from New Orleans is a thug," Thomas said.

Apparently, the one-sided reporting by the media has been affecting public opinion regarding New Orleans citizens. This explains why there's now discussion about abandoning the entire city. Thanks to the upbeat messages relayed by the MSM, we are doomed.
