You were told that the was cat 4 hurricane barreling down on the city and all the emergency systems would fail. Everyone must evacuate. (I heard the Mayor say this) So take your bitching somewhere else.
It would appear like at least 80,000 people stayed in Orleans during the Hurricane...which doesn't make much sense. And I'd bet at least 3,000 are dead by the time they count those bodies...with another 200 dead shortly from disease or heart-attacks. Why the state didn't roll in buses or military trucks to get these folks out...or sue Amtrak to just get them over to Texas...makes one wonder. Of course, the same dimwits kept waiting for someone to pay for their flood protection, which wasn't that great.
But at this point...there ought to be 10,000 Guardsmen in the city...and not a single person ought to be remaining there after tomorrow. I doubt seriously that this will happen. It will be at least a week before enough Guardsmen arrive, and at least 10 days before everyone is forced out of town. I see the Guardsmen having to kill at least 40 robbers before things get right. And there will be senate meetings later to explain who gave the order and why "innocent" people had to die on the street with TVs in their hands.
