Hurricane Sandy obliterated the northeast and conservative Republican Texas voted against giving them relief:

Then, after blowing themselves up by storing a huge cache of ammonium nitrate, not reporting it to DHS, building homes and schools around their home made weapon of mass destruction and blowing themselves up...

...they come whining to us for help.

And when they are not blowing themselves up, begging for help or refusing to help others, they are whining about how despicable liberals are.

West, Texas

It appears that:

1. The plant did not report the ammonium nitrate to DHS as required by federal law; and

2. Texas authorities knew it;

and

3. the townspeople were allowed to build homes and schools around the plant that had hundreds of tons (perhaps 1350) of ammoninium nitrate that was never reported to DHS and never inspected by DHS.

Is not this tragedy a predictable result of modern day libertarianism?

Is this not a repeat of the BP oil spill where there was no need for cumbersome and expensive safeguards against oil spills?

Do we have to keep destroying economies and killing people to remind ourselves of the purpose of reasonable government regulations?
