Scuffles break out in line for Wis. food vouchers
"MILWAUKEE (AP) — Pushing and shoving broke out Monday among some of the 2,500 people hit hard by recent floods who lined up outside a county office in hopes of collecting free food vouchers.
Some residents told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel they heard from friends or at food pantries that they could get free vouchers to replace food lost in recent floods and power outages. However, the Marcia P. Coggs Human Services Center was only taking names for a state voucher program.
Scuffles began breaking out around 7 a.m. with people shoving, pushing, and taking a door off its hinges, bringing police in dozens of cars, authorities said. (...)
"The food crisis in Milwaukee — and throughout the United States — is worse than many of us have realized," Hines said in a statement. "We expect long lines for free food in Third World countries; we don't expect a line of 2,500 people waiting for food vouchers at the Marcia P. Coggs Center."
I've seen videos of some of these "relief efforts" and it's pathetic how disorganized and inhumane the process is. Now there could be disaster at any time, and there will be desperate/unruly people everywhere, but the criminal maladministration in this country has all but ensured that there will be chaos and cops instead of help when people are hurting.
L.A. seeing more people living out of their cars
"Amid the foreclosure crisis and the shaky economy, some California cities are seeing an increase in the number of people living out of their cars, vans or RVs.
Acting on complaints from homeowners, the Los Angeles City Council got tough earlier this year by forbidding nearly all overnight parking in residential neighborhoods such as South Brentwood."
Meanwhile, traitors in congress bend over and spread 'em when Dim Son demands more billions for his never ending mass murder spree.
Congress Approves $162 Billion Bill To Pay For War In Iraq, Afghanistan
Utilities cut off more customers who are behind on their bills
"We're seeing a record number of shutoffs," says Mark Wolfe, head of the National Energy Assistance Directors' Association, which represents programs that subsidize energy bills.
An NEADA survey this month shows 8% of four-member households earning $33,500 to $55,500 have had their power turned off for non-payment. "It's hitting people in the suburbs with two cars and two kids," Wolfe says."
But there's no shortage of our tax money to pour into Israel.
