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

Irishranger - You are not speaking in my Iirish name.You are the same kind of white trash I encountered in Boston

Yes, Moirann16, it is disgusting! (IrishRanger, though, was quoting clocktower's racism to reject it, apparently.) If you're Irish rather than American, you might not realize how much raw, ugly racism Obama's re-election has brought out here. Maybe it will die down if they can begin to accept the multicultural real face of America, but I wouldn't count on it. You see the very worst of Irish America in comments like GhettoNuker's: "Whites need to get off their knees, stop feeling guilty, reject the leftist indoctrination, ... the LESS negroes on this planet the BETTER it is for White people.'" And clocktower's on Nov 09, 2012, 12:08 PM: 'These kids are not Irish. They are Mulattoes. They lost their white heritage when the father mixed with a black.'" These toxins come to IC looking for like-minded racists. If you know what their names, "GhettoNuker" and "Clocktower," refer to, then you know that the thing to do when they show up is just to go elsewhere, out of earshot, so to speak.

Wow, some of these comments make me gag. It is just heartbreaking to read them! You have lost your humanity, San Miguel and Irish Ranger! Will you finally realize that fact on your deathbed?? This was a racially motivated incident. Shame on the neighbor!! No one is going to rob him at the height of a hurricane! I don't see how he can live with himself!

As many others have written, she was warned with plenty of time to evacuate. Instand she chose to risk not just herself, but her Children as well by staying until it was too Late. When she finally tried to leave, it was already too Late as she Found out. Then she took the children into the flooded street and High winds. When they were taken from her by the force of the weather she should not have been surprised. By the time she went to the neighbor's homes looking for help, it was already to late. A 2 and 4 yr old would not have been able to fight the winds or water. And then she is upset that someone would not go out in the dark to look for 2 small bodies is just too much to believe. They were found days later nowhere near where she lost them. It is people like her that place the lives of first responders at risk. Her husband was aware of the storm and ts severity, why didn't he make sure that his wife evacuated the area? I am sorry she lost their children, but even of they had looked immediately for those children, in the dark, with limited equipment, the children would have already been drowned. For those commenting on race, well colour had nothing to do with this. Idiots come in all shapes and colours. As a first responder I have had to rescue more than my share of educated whites, blacks, Latinos, etc.

"These kids are not Irish. They are Mulattoes. They lost their white heritage when the father mixed with a black."..........Irish FATHER......KIDS are Irish, ENDOFSTORY, regardless of skin colour of mother

Clocktower are you SeanOMelb in disguise, you sound like that racist fool

As christians you only have to ask what would jesus do? reading some of these comments one would have to wonder if we live in a christian country. AS THE RIGHT WOULD HAVE YOU BELIEVE. why do so many right wingers have so much hatred in there harts, and then preach christian values. just ask yourself what would J.S. DO? PEACE WITH YOU.

This woman will be in my prayers, but she has no right to blame others for her and her husband's poor decisions. People who lived near the shore were warned to evacuate well before the storm and many like her family refused to do so. There was another family, who stayed, and the waves destroyed their home, the father, and the 13 year old daughter lost their lives, and the surviving members are disconsolate, but they aren't trying to blame others. This woman and her husband didn't take the call to evacuate seriously, and then she wants to threaten an elderly man, who didn't open his door when she was banging on it, and she ignores the fact that on Staten Island, despite many nice areas, is regularly run roughshod over by gangs of blacks and Hispanics, doing home invasions, especially during a storm, when they seek to take advantage of a crisis for their own profit. I know she's overwhelmed by grief, but she's not entitled to throw the race card, it reveals a lot about her that is ugly and cruel.

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.

Rot, I hope you do. clocktower your a bigot. I hope your not Irish. If you are, I hope your ancestors were treat badly as Irish immigrants to this country.

Why are there so many bleeding heart fools on this planet? The mother was an irresponsible twat- she had removed her children from the safety of her own home, drove them into a hurricane while driving along the beach, leaves her children hanging onto tree roots instead of staying there with them and then blames the man for not helping what to him seemed like a nutjob who was screaming and throwing pots at his house in the middle of a hurricane.. with a mother like that, the kids were bound to die anyway. I would not be surprised if she is just blaming him to not look like a shitty irresponsible mother in front of her disgusting husband. Becoming a parent means you have to be RESPONSIBLE- clearly what this mother is NOT. Instead of taking responsibility she is blaming some random man that she does not even know.

These kids are not Irish. They are Mulattoes. They lost their white heritage when the father mixed with a black.

@gobdawpaddy I think you and bourkebabe are both overestimating her guilt and turning a blind eye to his. Sure, this woman made a bad call. She should have stayed at home (in a non-flood area) or headed to Brooklyn earlier. Mistakenly, she drove into a flood zone and ended up in a ditch. At most, she is guilty of poor planning. That absolutely PALES in comparison to what this man did. He ignored her. He did not even call for help! His neighbors followed suit. I will not apologize for wishing ill on him, and I will not pretend that he doesn't deserve it. I am also not impressed that he seems like a nice guy during an interview. Anyone can seem like a nice guy during an interview! When determining if a person is the type to abandon a neighbor in need, I tend to be less interested in how they interview and more interested in whether or not that person HAS ACTUALLY IGNORED a neighbor in need. I tend to think that approach more reliable.

bourkebabe, I agree with your observations on this tragedy. They are in direct contrast to Linda's incitement to violence. May this poor lady find peace and her two sons RIP.

Let's not delude ourselves here. The cowardly old man saw a hysterical black woman knocking on his door in the middle of a huge storm and thought she must be trying to rob him. There is no way on earth that he would have reacted like that if she were white. I hope he gets more than flower pots through his windows.
