I went to the grocery store for one item..just one.. CILANTRO..that's it ..Only one lane open so I get in line. I'm there 3 seconds and some crazy lady gets behind me and immediately start talking trash..about me!! Doesnt even know me but this lady was giving me grief because I was in front of her.. I tried to keep quiet, but she kept at it (I had just gotten mugged not even 2-3 days prior).. and this lady had a cart FULL of groceries too.. So I looked back and calmy asked her what her problem was and she went on and snapped screaming like a lunatic how she was a hurricane survivor and I was a selfish b**** for being in front of her..other evacuees that happened to be there joined in and I had like 10 big mean aggressive black guys (big guys) screaming at me, threatening to kill me..-for a spot in line-... Ridiculous! Completely ridiculous.. I got ticked off and threw the money at the cashier, bagged my cilantro and left. Later I found out they had a riot in that dang store ...This is the crap that were going to have to deal with until something better happens.. I wanted to show mercy and be a good person because I'm sympathetic to thier loss..But when ppl think they deserve super special treatment to the point where it interferes with day to day things like shopping..it makes me sick.. I thought we were doing the right thing by housing them here..but all we've done is destroy Houston just a little more...I almost got myself killed at a grocery store, I got mugged thursday night by 2 big scary guys and just a few hours ago I caught some guys breaking into my car! I'm sorry I'm being jerk but it really sucks down here...This is the stuff the news isnt showing you... The after-effects in Houston

They happen halfway around the world and we send relief packages and give donations. Amercans just don't loot and pillage and take advantage of disaster. There goes my idealism. I didn't realize until about two days ago when I picked up the Daily Universe, of all things, just how bad things had become in the Katrina aftermath. In fact, until my dad told me to buy gas because prices were going to skyrocket, I wasn't aware of the disaster at all. What a commentary on my own self-involved lifestyle, too busy with school work, football games, and roommate drama to take a minute to find out what's going on in the world.
