why are you even arguing this?
It is reasonable to believe that at least a hundred thousand stayed in New Orleans knowing full damn and well that Katrina was on the way.
It is a fact that many did evacuate, I know this because before Katrina hit I got my best friend / sister out of the City.
I know for a fact that MY local news people were telling us that we were in deep trouble, and that Margaret Orr was on tv telling the residents of NO that they would be getting “a little wind, a little rain.”
Was poverty the main reason that so many were trapped or died? No. the main reason was a butt load of incompetent, moronic City AND State leaders and that after the storm went through they sat on their ignorant, ‘assets’ and poor mouthed and laid blame instead of doing something just as they are STILL doing.
Now argue with me. Someone who lived in Orleans, Tammany, and Jefferson Parishes for over 20 years.
Thank you for a logical and fact based post.
