30,000 line up for housing vouchers, some get rowdy..
Thirty thousand people showed up to receive Section 8 housing applications in East Point Wednesday, suffering through hours in the hot sun, angry flare-ups in the crowd and lots of frustration and confusion for a chance to receive a government-subsidized apartment.
The massive event sometimes descended into a chaotic mob scene filled with anger and impatience. Some 62 people needed medical attention and 20 of them were transported to a hospital, authorities said. A baby went into a seizure in the heat and was stabilized at a hospital. People were removed on stretchers and when a throng of people who had been waiting hours in a line were told to move to another line, people started pushing, shoving and cursing, witnesses said.
Still, officials of East Point declared the day a success. Nobody was arrested and nobody was seriously injured, they said. It was an assessment roundly challenged by many of the people who had to go through it. READ MORE...
WATCH: Atlanta Crowds Riot for Gov't Handouts
Wow, that 'liberalism' is working out really well isn't it? The democrats have done an excellent job with minorities, the poor, women and children haven't they? It's a shame we can't get 30,000 people to show up to fill out a job application, but free money? This is how democrats use YOUR money to buy THEIR votes. It's disgusting and anti-American. Please stop voting democrat...
Is anyone shocked? Things have changed in this country. I was talking to a friend today about this and I said I could never get myself to go in that line. There would have to be no food at the store in order to make me get in a line. And even then, I would try growing a garden and hunting for food first.
ReplyDeletePeople are so used to food stamps, free lunch, and free housing that there is no longer shame involved. I would never want my children to know I had to get a handout or that it is alright to do so. Yet, people brought their children to stand in line.
I remember in elementary school that kids with free lunch had to get their hand stamped. Guess what, those kids started bringing lunch from home so the other kids didn't know. When my kids went to public school they actually asked me if they could get free lunch. They didn't want to have to pay, the rest of the kids just gave the lunch lady a number!! What they were saying is that they were embarrassed to pay for lunch because the rest of the kids got it free!
Times have changed, and not for the better. There is an entire generation growing up thinking that they don't have to pay for their own food. You think it's bad now, just wait!
these are the people who have allowed the LIAR Obama to get to power, to be in position, where his majorities have forced upon America the Cloward and Piven strategy of bankrupting our nation for the ONE WORLD GOVERNANCE Soros has paid for which is the kingdon of Satan... these are the people who will take and take and take and not allow our nation to repair allowing evil to destroy western civilization.
