Volunteer Tree-Trimmer Fined $275, Told to Leave Minneapolis, After Helping Tornado Victims Outside His Assigned Area
4th June 2011
Ben Post works for Urban Homeworks, and sympathizes with Haege. But he said volunteers were given explicit directions to stay out of banned zones, so if Haege was in one, he was on his own.
“People were super ramped up to help, and frankly there wasn’t much to do,” he said. “The hard part is, I’m sure people were asking volunteers for help in those areas. But if we just released 600 people into the neighborhood, it would have been a nightmare.”
Well, it certainly would have been a nightmare for those who think that everything has to be done through the government. I guess we know where Ben Post sits.
