What an ungrateful POS you are! I’ve seen more people that are appreciative of the Cajun Navy’s assistance, you are thankfully in the minority. The various groups of the Cajun Navy are pretty damn organized, but they can’t be responsible for people who are unaffiliated with them wading into trouble. I followed their operations quite closely during Harvey, and they gave very good instructions for any new volunteers they had, and turned help away when conditions were too dangerous.

How many shelter volunteers do you praise? Caterers feeding disaster crews? Drivers shipping supplies? Linemen fixing the electrical grid? DOTD employees managing evacuations, or clearing routes to and from disaster areas, fixing damaged roads and bridges?
And how many of these people do you see thrusting themselves into the public eye?

During Katrina, a lot.
Why does the attention bother you?

Thanks for the help but stay home next time.
After Katrina, I came down to La for months to help. It was a rather boring thing, being at shelters overnight to hand out diapers and such. There were hundreds of volunteers. I suppose you think these people should have stayed in their home states as well?

What exactly does the Cajun Navy do to bring attention to themselves?

From a GQ article
quote:
Citing corporate policy, the director explained that he had decided against evacuating the residents. And he certainly wouldn’t let the Cajun Navy take them—only the National Guard was authorized to do so. Ben found himself at an impasse with the director that words would not resolve. “I had to beat the hell out of the nursing-home director,” Ben told me. At one point during the altercation, Ben drew a gun.
Remember, this is in Texas.
quote:
Ben got on the phone with a Louisiana congressman sympathetic to the Cajun Navy’s efforts. He sent a video of the situation inside the home. The horrified congressman said, “Do what you have to do to get these people out. We’ll deal with the consequences later.”

It's the most entertaining part of this thread. It's astounding what pettiness bothers some people.

I couldn't imagine having to call a sanitation employee to pick up a piece of trash on the ground since I wasn't trained in litter management.
And I'm still so mad at the city for not rescuing the drowning kid I called about since I'm not a trained lifeguard. I literally watched him die, helpless due to my lack of training.

So what is this thread, 5 pages of the OP bitching about a group that organizes and goes to help victims of disasters?
OP, go frick yourself in the arse with a cactus.

What have you ever done to help relief?
So you did a job that you were paid to do and are bragging how you helped people in need? Lulz. Sound more like an opportunist than anything

I live in Houston. House was flooded twice in 16 and again with Harvey. I have a solid understanding of what I saw and what precipitated, especially after BR flooding in 2016.
Sounds like it is time to move to higher ground, if you did the CN would not have to come bail your arse out.
