OK Now I know you are full of it."
The Bridge they were sitting on was surrounded by water and the folks walking to Shep where walking out of the water and doing it on the road he was on, if the Salvation Army was set up under the bridge he was on they must have been using their new Submersible unit. BTW just read they stopped allowing folks into the Super dome Yesterday so I suppose Shep was supposed to send them up there to be turned away.
I think you are flailing trying to find some rational for your Shep Hating.
You need to look at a map. The place the folks were walking out of the water was the ramp at exit 235 on I-10. The Superdome is less than 1/2 a mile away. The Salvation Army set up a large rescue center under I-10 at the Superdome. I don't have to flail because the facts are on my side. And I don't hate Shep. I just with he'd report the whole picture and not try to create the story.
