This was posted on FaceBook from a scrapping group buddy. Words direct from a citizen who is living it. This may need to be marked as political so if someone wants to do that go ahead.
I want to begin by apologizing if I offend anyone those are not my intentions. This is how I'm feeling for over two weeks now and I'm only human and I feel that if you poke a dog with a stick eventually and rightfully the dog will bite back:
Felling overwhelmed:( I understand we had a catastrophic event here in Puerto Rico and despite what the media is reporting in the USA because they are being told lies... The reality is that THIS IS DAY 15 after the hurricane and we still have no lights, communication and No running water (we had a little bit from a container that has run out) and since Thursday no more. The prepaid phone I bought no longer is allowing us to make any phone calls. We can't take a shower because we have to use a cup and an pail to bathe. We sit in the dark every evening until we can turn on the generator because it costs us $187.00 PER WEEK and we're only running it a few hrs to keep food cold. All of this while our fucking government in San Juan eat hot meals, stay at hotels in San Juan drinking in the fucking bar. Everyone has multiple assistants that don't know a damn thing about the position they hold because they are hired because they have a nice ass. I NEVER ask for anything because I'm a survivor and God gets us through anything but imagine the frustration and despair of brushing your teeth with dirty water because you have so little drinking water you can't waste it. I am beside myself how can so much aid that the People of United States of America has send and it sits at the ports in San Juan. The government in San Juan act like school bullies taking the lunch of the weak. And for those of you who doubt what I'm saying I can tell you I am living it. There are people that have less and my heart breaks for them. Our President YES our PRESIDENT because WE ARE PART OF THE UNITED STATES and wether good, bad, ugly or indifferent was only kept in the San Juan area that already had communication, running water and lights to make him believe that this government has it under control. So our President hands out flashlight while saying " here you wouldn't need these anymore" I am insulted that we send our Brave men and women of the armed forces to other countries that kill our heroes when they don't want us there yet our President never tells those in other parts of the world who hate us how much money they are costing the United States to keep them safe from THEIR OWN TERRORIST yet he felt the need to tell us how we're costing him so much money. I AM A UNITED STATES CITIZEN WHOM SERVE THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES FOR OVER 20 YEAR RISKING MY LIFE DAILY AND DID IT WITH HONOR and INTEGRITY AND TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY. I WENT BEYOND WHAT WAS EXPECTED OF ME. SO, WHY MR PRESIDENT OUR COMMANDER IN CHIEF do you offend us? I never speak about politics, religion that kind of stuff to avoid conflict. I respect the position of the title of "President " I agree with many of what the president feels about those that are like leashes never contributing to the United States and sucking the US dry. I agree that EVERYONE should follow LAW and ORDER but who if not the President of the United States come and protect the civilians those who in Puerto Rico are victims of a corrupt and dysfunctional government. Someone had to step up to the plate because this boat is sinking and where all going down while the world watches. We are strong but our spirits are broken:( BTW OUR DEATH TOLD IS A LOT MORE THAN 16. TOLL IS STILL UNKNOWN BECAUSE WE CAN REACH SOME COMMUNITIES
