Is it just me?

This is the 2nd time i've seen the Convention Center footage, and I understand that this is a disaster, but does it seem that the group used to handouts, is demanding to know where their handouts are?

But where are they supposed to go? I mean they thought it was a pickup point. Where are they supposed to wander to now? I mean they are they're waiting pretty patiently. They are not looting or what not. Jesus, someone drop some water.

WDSU reporter says looks like no one in charge.

yes, they are almost all poor and on welfare and whatnot but at the same time their houses are underwater and they probably havent eaten in the past few days.

Now.... wouldnt you be a bit frustrated?

It breaks my heart to see all of the suffering. However it seems that the people in NO ignored even the most basic instructions they were given if they chose/had to stay. I heard people on the weather channel say over and over
to have food and water and a change of clothes for several days. Very few seem to have done even the minimum to survive for just a brief period of time until help could be mobilized. How hard would it have been to get canned goods, cereal bars and water and have it on hand? They were saying for days it was heading to NO.

Very sad, but am sick of hearing the blame directed at W. They ought to be pointing fingers at the sorry officials in La if they're pointed anywhere.

I loathe and despise the MSM.
Thank goodness for the internet.

I never thought I would see fellow Americans doing the types of things they are doing in NO during a huge disaster of this magnitude. I'm glad we are gun(s) owners.
