I saw the story on tv tonight. They emhasized this report was not to blame. What an odd choice when there was so much loss, so little info released, and so much concern about the future of the victims. I read that 60% of the victims left the island suspecting they would not be able to rebuild. When water systems did not work, sirens did not sound, police blocked the only ways out, 911 dispatchers lied to callers, police chief and mayor were incognito, emergency supplies were prevented, a wall put up around the area, no fly zone, no photos, no one allowed to visit their property (but it was safe enough for photo ops with a frail president), when laws regarding control of historic sites during disasters were changed months before the disaster, when Gov Green went to a smartcity meeting months previously....My God. I tried real hard to find something about this tragedy that was only incompetence, stupidity or apathy. I couldn't. Blame is the one thing that needs to be truly examined here. I saw videos, photos, interviews and heard testimonies. I'm not ignorant or distant in this matter. Officials control the narratives and protect each other, when they should've been controlling the evil here and protecting their neighbors. There's a reason the subject of blame was one of the 1st subjects mentioned and repeated. It's call being defensive. I wonder why.
