    La. Nursing Home Owners Charged in Deaths


    By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
    Published: September 13, 2005

    Filed at 5:54 p.m. ET

    BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) -- The owners of a New Orleans-area nursing home where 34 patients died in Hurricane Katrina's floodwaters were charged with negligent homicide Tuesday.

    The owners of St. Rita's Nursing Home in St. Bernard Parish ''were asked if they wanted to move (the patients). They did not. They were warned repeatedly that this storm was coming. In effect, their inaction resulted in the deaths of these patients,'' Louisiana Attorney General Charles Foti said.

    Mable B. Mangano, owner and administrator of the nursing home, and Salvador A. Mangano, a co-owner, surrendered and were jailed.

    Foti said his office is also investigating deaths at a ho e in New Orleans.

    In a broader sense, I suppose if one wanted to, then they could blame every level of Govt for failing to move the dead in NOLA starting with the locals and working upward.

    "They did not"

    This a little like DHS/FEMA saysing:
    "NO/LA didn't ask us for for help, so we didn't give any".

    Whoever offered to move the n/h residents and then allowed the Manganos to wave them off must share some responsibility.

    In port aransas there was a guy that died while doing it with some 18 year old girl. He was married and in 40's. I remember seeing that in the local news it was during a spring break about 12 years ago. Ok i'l admit that's messed up but interesting.
