Why didn't he bring them the water? Freepers on here have been talking about how he was on the ramp for five days (impossible) and making him out to be a super hero (not in my book).
If he was able to leave the ramp, why couldn't the people leave the ramp as well?
Best I can figure, the media has rights to go through checkpoints. The masses are denied passage.
Not sure if that's true, but there are a number of stories of that nature - groups of people not being permitted to "roam," if you will.
"If he was able to leave the ramp, why couldn't the people leave the ramp as well?"
For the reason that Fox had a single chopper for him (that's my *assumption*) and/or a boat to ferry him across from the ramp to the Dome, but there wasn't helicopter or boat transport in place for hundreds or thousands of others...and there was 5 feet of water between them and the Dome.
