September 04, 2005VIDEO - Charmaine Neville: A Hero From from New OrleansThis is testimony everyone needs to see. Everyone. (yes, by the way, she is one of those Nevilles) Posted by jsmooth995 at September 4, 2005 02:55 PMComments
I couldn't get that video link to load (?). Posted by: ian at September 4, 2005 09:06 PM Are you on a mac? Posted by: Jay Smooth at September 4, 2005 09:23 PM George Bush has so much to answer for. Ms. Neville's story was one of the most heartbreaking tales I've heard in a long time. I must say, the nonexistent federal response to Hurricane Katrina is the most shameful domestic crisis I've ever seen. After watching this and Jefferson Parish President Aaron Broussard on Meet the Press (http://www.wonkette.com/politics/katrina/index.php#the-cavalry-didnt-come-123792), after the wealth of information predicting this calamity before it happened, after all those press conferences where Mike Brown from FEMA and Mike Chertoff from Homeland Security congratulated each other on a job well done while people died, after hearing all the stories of simple Hobbesian state-of-nature anarchy on American soil, this once-great nation should rise up and impeach President George W. Bush. And then remove him from office. He has been an utter failure as a leader, and Ms. Neville watched her neighbors die because of his Presidential apathy. Posted by: James at September 4, 2005 10:12 PM finally a response to those so outraged and shocked by "those idiots" who "fired shots at the helicopters." why hasn't it occured to people that THEY WERE TRYING TO GET THE GUARDSMEN'S ATTENTION SO THEY COULD GET SOME HELP!? too much. too too much. Posted by: nakachi at September 4, 2005 10:48 PM > Are you on a mac? No, but I use Mozilla Firefox as my browser. Posted by: ian at September 5, 2005 12:09 AM Ian, you probably have your popup blocker on. I have Mozilla too and I had to disable my popup blocker to view the video. Posted by: Kevin at September 5, 2005 06:24 PM Charmaine Neville's story should be broadcast everywhere, but the mainstream media is not showing this side. Instead we get hours of coverage of Bush acting like he cares when it's obvious he doesn't. Posted by: Dave Park at September 5, 2005 07:33 PM video would not load for me either. Posted by: C Hosmer at September 6, 2005 12:24 PM does anyone know what charity charmaine neville would suggest donations to? Posted by: samantha at September 6, 2005 08:35 PM There is a problem no doubt the Pres. is no leader and the media is one sided, but there is a problem that manifested it self. we have outsourced jobs we have open our doors to everybody and have forgotten our own. granted that some don't want to work but we need to find work for our own. I can't justify anyone firing guns to gain attention, there are some bad people out there who are making bad for those that need help I'm sorry I can deend these indiviuals Posted by: don at September 7, 2005 09:28 AM I am not that computer saavy and I couldn't get the video to play either Posted by: Felicia at September 7, 2005 09:52 AM For those still having trouble launching the video of Charmaine Neville, try a different link to it. It's linked to at www.crooksandliars.com. (The actual host is www.wafb.com.) (I don't know much about computers either. Maybe I'm having no trouble viewing it because I'm using a college computer network.) What time zone is hiphopmusic.com in? Posted by: Dale at September 7, 2005 11:45 AM My link also goes to WAFB.. we are in EST.. strictly NYC. Posted by: Jay Smooth at September 7, 2005 11:52 AM when you niggas going to riot for real? Posted by: tupac at September 8, 2005 01:30 AM I'm afraid that Bush and company are going to try to turn this to their advantage as much as possible: "Lost everything? Join the Army and become easy-pickins for snipers and IEDs in Iraq!" "We still need you to get out of New Orleans... so we can claim your land once Haliburton drains the area and we can sell it to our buddies who can throw up condos and give us kickbacks. What? That's your land? Not according to my phalynx of high-priced lawyers!" -- after the tsunami last year, rich guys hired armed guards to keep people from going back to their land, then they sold it or built their own stuff on it since it was beach-front property. George and his gang of criminals has got to go! How are those thousands of dollars of new shoes Condi? Hope the people booing you didn't do anything like make you think of the people starving and ignored or dead. Posted by: Jack at September 8, 2005 07:20 AM Pitiful. WHO is raping and destroying New Orleans at this moment? What political party has been in control of New Orleans for the last 60 years? Who approved and implemented the LOCAL disaster plan for New Orleans? Why were so many school and city buses flooded out instead of used for evacuation? (I'll bet every one of those buses was running on election day.) I wonder where Kanye West and Puffy Combs buy their shoes. Has Puffy offered his private yacht for housing? How much was Jesse and Al's financial donation to the relief efforts? So many questions. These are OUR people. What happended to taking care of our own? George Bush has a black eye on this one, but OUR people have two. Posted by: Coppelia at September 9, 2005 03:04 PM For those who can't reach the Charmaine Neville link, try googling "Chamaine Neville Katrina" or "WAFB Charmaine Neville", and you will find a bunch of websites that link to the video, which is on WAFB. You can also try this video link from WAFB:
Good Luck. Posted by: patty at September 9, 2005 03:11 PM If you think that getting rid of Bush et. al will fix this problem you are woefully shortsighted. What happened in New Orleans was just the latest in a planned scenario that began long, long before George Bush was President - either of them. Watch if you don't believe me, more disasters will happen, and more personal rights will go away with each one. Eventually martial law will be necessary. I expect that similar things will happen in other countries as well. No consipiracy theory...there are too many facts to call it a theory. Posted by: Diana Ward at September 10, 2005 04:06 AM Its time the blame game stops,everybody is blaming the President like he dropped a Nuclear bomb on New Orleans,what we had friends was a natural monsterous desaster.Things went wrong which hopefully will be fixed.No Govt can prepare for what happened in the Big Easy.From what I saw on CNN it was like the coming of the second "FLOOD" Posted by: Caswell H Isaacs at September 13, 2005 08:28 PM I've watched the video a couple of times and what I want to know is why were sections censored? There are two distinct points in the video where her speech is censored when she's talking about the men 'from outside the neighborhood' who came and attacked the group. The second time that she's censored she's talking about the rapists it almost seems that she says white men or white people. Does anyone know why the video was censored? Posted by: Scotty at September 14, 2005 11:42 PM no wonder to hear of charmaine neville's heroic efforts. she personifies the spirit of new orleans as they rebuild Posted by: charles itchkawitz at September 22, 2005 12:12 PM I could not get the video to load for Charmine Neville's Katrina interview! Posted by: Bridgette at September 27, 2005 11:24 AM Charmine's comments are enough to impeach Mr. Bush!!! Posted by: randy at September 30, 2005 12:05 AM Is there a way I can copy the Charmaine Neville video to my computer? One day this video may disappear from the internet!
