Glenda Moore, mother of Irish American boys who died during Hurricane Sandy confronts neighbors who failed to help

Like many of African heritage she feels she is "Entitled" to aid and support by others who work for a living.

Irishranger -" You are not speaking in my Iirish name.You are the same kind of white trash I encountered in Boston" I resent this post I'm Irish American from Boston. I'm a nice person. I have taken in people when they were caught in a storm and when I lived in Chicago right Michigan Ave. I took food to them at night. MOST irish people have a heart as big as gold

Simply assuming that people disagree with the actions of the mother because she's African-American is racist in itself. If she were European-Amaner instead and people criticised her there would be no outcry. Why should her actions not be criticised based on her race? THAT'S racist.

Given the looting that was occurring, you can't blame the man for thinking he was about to be robbed. I probably wouldn't have opened the door either.

Some of the comments posted here are bigoted and nasty beyond belief. I agree with McNamara31: IrishCentral should not allow posts like these.

Do you EVER comment on the ex-pats living in CANADA? Or is everything about the UNITED STATES OF America (or, as you incorrectly call "AMERICA") Let's have some news about the west coast of Canada and it's MANY ex-pats.

Hard to feel sorry for someone that was told a week earlier to get out and go to higher ground. How stupid do you have to be to stay on a freakin island with a hurrican bearing down on you? Probably an Obama supporter.

Wow! This site is still filled with vile bigots. A family lost their 2 kids and people are waffling on about their colour? These kids were Americans like most of you on here. Show some human decency.

This is one of the saddest stories I ever heard in my life and I can't imagine what this family is going thru. Especially the mother - I am a mom myself and trying to put myself in this person's shoes brings tears to the eye. What kind of person would refuse help or ignore her cries for help - so inhuman. I pray for this poor mother.

@Niall.. Why would you allow a post such as this to litter the pages of Irish Central? Saying nothing, and allowing this type of outright biogtry, is as bad as the bigotry itself. This is not free-speech, it's hate pure and simple....."GhettoNuker | Nov 10, 2012, 10:22 AM EST Oh, good riddance. Whites need to get off their knees, stop feeling guilty, reject the leftist indoctrination, and start THINKING CRITICALLY. The TRUTH of the matter is the LESS negroes on this planet the BETTER it is for White people."

Where is the compassion amongst the majority of you? Are any of you Christians? It's hard to tell.. This poor woman, everyday for the rest of her lifve will get up knowing her children aren't going to be there. And the father as well. Pray for them that they might have some peace. And these children were African American as well; I feel some of the lack of compassion is due to racism..sad!

hooligan6a How does it feel to sit upon your high perch and judge this mother who has lost two children? Where do you live? Many never expected this storm to have the intensity or were afraid to leave their homes. Did you see how many remained in Breezy? (Oh, but they're our own kind I guess)... And to the bigoted comments at the beginning of this thread ( Rot/Clocktower)I truly hope all your evil comments come back upon you to teach you a lesson in empathy.

Hold on, How did the kids die? She survived. Why was she banging on the neighbors door instead of getting out of there? What did she want the neighbor to do? Why did she wait so long to try to escape? We are making judgements and we don't know the whole story.

Didn't Mary and Joseph look for safety when Jesus was born? They were turned away too.

I'm sorry her kids died. She feels guilty that her actions resulted in the death of her children. She is trying to make herself feel better by blaming the result of her actions on others. I wouldn't leave my house during a hurricane to run around looking for missing people. If it was safe to do so she could have swum after her kids, grabbed them quickly, and walked home. She wanted her neighbors to fix her mistakes and she didn't care if they died in the process. Her neighbors are not responsible for her decisions and they shouldn't have to prove their worth by dying to correct her mistakes.
