Evacuee Purchases Designer Handbag with Redcross Donation!

[Smiling JOe]

So far the only folks who were given those cards were the ones in the Astrodome. Everyone else will receive theirs eventually once they do the paperwork. Statistically speaking, its most likely the person was poor, and probably black, if they were in the Astrodome, as that's who made up the vast majority of the evacuees there.

But the post regarding this purchase states that the handbag was bought in Atlanta. Do you think the person bought a plane ticket to Atlanta with the rest of the money? Something is not adding up, and if it was reported on Fox or NBC or any other major station, they would have in chronicled on their website, right?

Nope, heard it myself, on the news! It was either, FOX or NBC, my preferred!

"Bring me the boy." I am looking but I cannot see anything yet.

Not sure. I do know that in a few of my local Red Cross shelters, there were some people that said they were evacuees bussed in from the Astrodome. That might explain it? I know nothink.

I asked the other day if this was an urban legend....I also stated I had not seen it on TV or read it in my local paper. This is right up the alley for many news outlets....I can't believe that if true, it wouldn't have been seen or read by more than one person. And also...it was FEMA, not RED CROSS giving out the debit cards!!!!!

Some were evacuated to ATL., that was in the news, also. I'll go back and locate these items in the news, to save all the speculation! I heard it, myself...pinky promise! ;-)

The only stories I could find of heinous fraud are similar to the unsubstantiated stories from this website, which is KKK thinly disguised as Republicans:

People need help. Even those that would take advantage.
