I'm tempted to ask why compassion is due to them. They were told to leave. They were told this could happen. They haven't provided anything for themselves or provided for their loved ones in case of an emergency. They've done nothing for themselves. They do, however, hysterically wail at the cameras and point the finger of blame at everyone but themselves.
But they chose to stay. They chose to be dependent on the government for everything. Compassion for morally irresponsible people? No thanks. I'll save it for people who deserve it.
