He was cited by a group of Homeland Security officials for selling a T-shirt on federal property - in this case, near a FEMA center in the parking lot of a Wal-Mart in Chalmette, La. Barisich, 49, says he didn't sell the shirt, which said: "Flooded by Katrina! Forgotten by FEMA! What's Next, Mr. Bush?" He says he gave it away. The government is sticking to its guns. "If we ignored this violation, you could have potentially 20 to 30 people standing out in front of the (FEMA) center, obstructing things," says Dean Boyd, a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spokesman. "We've got a duty and a job under the law."
First, it's not federal property, it,s a Wal-Mart parking lot. Second, maybe if these dipshits had done their job, he'd be handing out shirts that say how good FEMA was. Cleaning us the mess from Katrina will take a long time. Cleaning us the mess from Bush will take decades. FEMA critic's shirt gets him tangled up in ticket - Yahoo! News |
