that guy on the middle picture looks like Euron. He had much more important duties then the meeting...
ultimatecrazy
I saw Cajun Navy trucks all over today. Thank you for coming out; we appreciate you beyond words.
RalinStorm
weren't looters stealing their boats in order to loot, at gunpoint?
timf2005
As a Houstonian... if we see you trying to shoot at or rob rescuers we will shoot you back.
raiderdave0109
that last photo is fake, not from this disaster.
Fliffisjumper
i'm just wondering why its necessary for that tall black dude to be carried through knee-deep water
scooter950
I heard theyre packing their shit and leaving. Being duped into rescues only to be shot at and robbed by scum
RaeNorri
This is exactly how it happened in Nashville in 2010 when we flooded. Good people exist!
krapmyself
Reminds of mister Rogers. When ever there's is a disaster, look for the people who go in to help. That's a good neighbor.
beggingyourmajestyspardon
"We just help our neighbor" said Joel Osteen never.
blindpiggy
In aug 2016 Baton Rouge, LA flooded. These guys saved 100s of lives if not more. Good luck Texas, surviving is only the beginning.

That lady's got a deer in #2 ! How is no one talking about this?

Mission accomplished.
IndianaSlammer90
Warms my heart to see this. Americans being there for each other.
txGrizzly
Going stir crazy! Stuck at home for 3 days due to high waters
outdoorsman
I'm definitely a shoot back kinda guy. Especially since there's a lot of good folks trapped in there with those heathens.
JamonDefee
Just saw on the news that the Cajun navy is stepping down bc of gunshots from looters.
bobbynixon
Why is he looting a black guy?
MerToo
and what colour will he choose to paint him?
twinblackjack
I live in Houston and they stopped the Cajun navy for now cause ppl pulling guns on them : /
JustAnotherPOG
I would think that the Cajun navy would be more than capable of pulling guns themselves.
outdoorsman
I'm more of a shoot back kinda guy, especially since there's good folks trapped in there with those heathens.
JustAnotherPOG
That is very true. If I was down there, I would still go out to help, but with a few good, well armed friends.
Risqie
Now this is what America is about.
Woestkonijn
Is that kid paralyzed? Or too afraid to get wet feet? Goddamn.
gad885
Wait I thought all those guys were racist rednecks who are trying to destroy America and liberal snowflakes who are trying to destroyAmerica
RoboticRichardSimmons
i appreciate and applaud what these guys r doing but that waters like ankle deep in that 1st pic, why is he carrying him?
romicra88
Looks like he has very thin legs and the wheelchair would indicate handicap
RoboticRichardSimmons
totally missed it
iamthemachine
Dude ain't ruinin his shoes! prolly the only pair not taken by the flood! haha, nah, prolly the wheelchair thing

IWantToPetYourPussyCat
My sister and her boyfriend are going Houston tomorrow to help out. Please keep them in your thoughts.
mockingnurd
Thank you
Stutley
Should have gone by dragon.
spaidermahn
Will do
TheDoctorCrankenstein
Tell them be extra careful. The Cajun navy returned because ppl were faking being stuck to lure them into getting mugged.
CongratsYouAreHereNow
lies
leroy666
Any of 'em members@of Osteen's "church"?
EviIGenius
Houston resident here: Some assholes are shooting at them and trying to rob them.
MerToo
'Merica!
HoboStabWound
Why always dump on your own country? You need to read some world news sometimes. There's evil all over the planet.
MerToo
ha, I'm a New Zealander, we're not perfect but one of the perks is getting to make fun of the US. How about that healthcare? =)
janedope
Ha, can confirm...American, College grad, employed, no health insurance for the last 7 years. +1 for you
MerToo
aww. It's only really funny in general terms... =(
ishkaga
Do you Americans just assume the rest of the world has no internet?
SmolTenk
Coming from a country with tons of government agencies for disaster relief its kind of amazing how many "normal people" seem to be moving
SmolTenk
freely in disaster areas. Weird, but amazing.
JustAnotherPOG
The US is really fucking big. That means that our government response to things like this tends to be on the slow side. As a first (1/2)
JustAnotherPOG
response, "help your neighbors," goes a hell of a long way. (2/2)

MustangLover2
Yes! This needs to be on the news intead of all the other crap on there.
tupacshomie
Well it was 10 years ago during katrina so....
TheBurritoConfederacy
It's on the Google News.
MasterNateT
Literally on the front page of the internet. "This needs to be on the news."
BluBoxx
(Something on the news) This needs to be on the news! Why isn't this on the news!?
ChesterChihuahua
Yes, and MustangLover2 additionally wants ALL the other crap to be banned from the news.
sonnydojo
This has been plastered all over the news non-stop. I know it's trendy to hate on the media, but they love shit like this.
BondHaimBond
this is actually all i hear today on npr.
Drogothedestroyerkitty
Yes NPR is built on human interest stories. So that fits.
MackerelTex
It is on the news; I've seen it reported several times today
CoderWithoutCaffeine
Confirmed. I've been watching news 24/7. Source: Houstonian
Korhal2005
Here locally in Houston that’s all that’s on the news. Volunteers with trucks. Boats. Heavy construction equipments getting people out.
spacemonkeyscientist
It's on the local Houston news channels, not sure about national.
sixeyedcat
All over national too
notjustsomecat
people getting along doesn't fit the media's narrative, though
ItsRealTalk
The media has been reporting on people getting along during the entirety of the relief efforts, you guys are the ones with a narrative.
MustangLover2
So, sadly true.
Fallser
It's not the media's "fault," per se, but more of a fault of capitalism. Media companies are first and foremost companies. It sucks.
jfred325350
So it's capitalism's fault that we like to consume negative media coverage?
teal4two
No, capitalism supplies what you want and pay for. It is not the system's fault but the consumer's.
hikidsdoyoulikeviolence
It doesn't sell.
garghuul
All together now: FUCK THE NARRATIVE. Some people do good things., because they can. *Coughs* Thankyou.
CaptainMorgan02
Just an FYI, but the last pic is from the major flooding in LA last year. Still the Cajun Navy and still awesome.
Dingmeatgroup
Yeah, the sun hasn't been out.
FishLords
So's the second image. But I was on imgur then, and I'll be damned if I saw anything about this.
hikidsdoyoulikeviolence
..... for a second there I was like "major flooding in Los Angeles" I'm border line retarded so I figured it out eventually. Cajun navy FTW!
shadowex3
I don't think you're borderline at all.
hikidsdoyoulikeviolence
Full blown ;)
TruthBehindTheLies
I still haven't figured it out
hikidsdoyoulikeviolence
LA = Louisiana
TruthBehindTheLies
Oh okay thanks
hikidsdoyoulikeviolence
On the borderline.../s
