I was thumbing through my new issue of Jet mag that arrived to today that has Outkast on the cover, and while thumbing through, there is a picture of a man and the caption says "Son Sues over Katrina Wheelchair Death". I looked at the picture of the man, and then realized that it's the man who had to leave his mom at the Morial Convention center. It's the man who was on Spike's doc. The one who had to leave his mom at the convention door and make the choice/decision to get on the bus. The man's mom was 91 yrs old, and the atty that is representing the family stated "Let's not forget, she survived the storm. The storm didn't get to her. She didn't survive the rescue"
That is such a powerful statement, and I can't even look at the pic without feeling such sadness. The article says that Ethel Freeman 91 (who was the mother of the man who had to leave her there) and an other covered body outside an entrance to the center came to symbolize the gov'ts slow response to the catastrophic storm.
