Sheps anger is not because they didn't go to where HE was standing, but to where thousands of people were standing, among them the young, the aged and the infirm. You may have noticed a corpse or two ? If thousands of people are amassed on one spot, wouldn't you think that such relief as was available might get there.
We can discuss later why they didn't evacuate, or how each network's coverage has been, but for now if the #1 priority is saving lives, you do that by getting water, medicine and food to those who've not had any in several days.
DOn't know if you have ever been in NO in August, but it is just brutal. 100 temperature, 100 humidity. You can only stay outside a few minutes without seeking shelter, yet those people were there for hours and hours.
OH, and let's not even get into the smell.
I may not have liked Shep before this, but am certainly changing my mind. HE has shown up in new clothes each day, he's got a hotel, he has colleagues with him and a truck that probably has AC inside. His concern was not, in this instance, self-centered. He was advocating for some truly sad and desperate people.
I agree with you that Shep is very sincere and concerned for these people. So he has pressed shirts. He probably brought many shirts with him. Altho he's been wearing the same one for two days now. And he's doubling up so the sweat won't show thru the shirt as much.
