There's a difference between those that couldn't leave and those that wouldn't. The fact that there was physically no way for those without cars or funds to get out - that's just wrong. I'll bet most of those in the Superdome couldn't leave. The ones who wouldn't, stayed in their houses and are now taking pot-shots at rescuers.

I agree, there is a difference between those unable to leave and those who chose to stay. But I'm seeing too many FReepers refusing to acknowledge that there are perfectly legitimate and valid reasons why someone would have been unable to leave.
The level of callousness being shown in many places on FR in this regard has me seriously contemplating a vacation from FR.
