Not to belittle the tragedy; but these folks had four days warning, and took no evasive action.

BTW, based upon the visual news coverage, has anyone noticed the demographics of the "refugees?"

Yeah, based on the visual news coverage, the demographics of the refugees is that they are poor as hell. So how were these people who have no cars supposed to take "evasive action"? Did you know that the bus station in NO shut down on Saturday, many hours before the hurricane hit? I don't even know how you were able to see the news coverage with that pointy hood over your head.

Yes, I noticed. What comes to my mind is that Jessie Jackson et al should take a good hard look at what decades of Black leaders telling people "you need help,you need assistance, free breakfast, etc. This is what it comes down to. Thousands of people looking for someone to save them.
Before I get called a racist,I feel for all the refugees, but it is maddening to me that they were told to get out and didn't. They say they couldn't. Get on a bus and go.
Why didn't the mayor tell the busses to take people at no
charge out of the city. I don't see alot of Mexicans waiting on the overpass.

Four days? Wasn't the Superdome designated as a shelter? So, those in the Superdome went where they were supposed to go... isn't that evasive action?
