An interesting look at a trailer park where katrina survivors are staying..

Interesting, Larry. It seems these "lucky" people live in an exclusive private community where annoying little trivialities like the Constitution are not tolerated.
During Democracy Now's recent trip to New Orleans, we managed to get inside the largest FEMA trailer park set up after Hurricane Katrina. Shortly after we interviewed hurricane evacuee Donna Azeez, we were kicked out of the park by security guards working for Corporate Security Solutions, the private company hired by FEMA to police Renaissance Village.
RENAISSANCE VILLAGE RESIDENT: Deception. Lies. A famine. A shortage.
AMY GOODMAN: Wait, don’t stop.
RENAISSANCE VILLAGE RESIDENT: Everything. And it ain't no good to be here.
SECURITY GUARD: Turn it off.
AMY GOODMAN: We were going in the car, and he said, "Please interview me."
SECURITY GUARD: Yeah, he -- he can't. That’s not his privilege.
If that's how they treat American Citizens, it's no wonder they love us so much in Iraq.
Pitiful.
