Good post.

They had all of the people who needed help in one spot instead of scattered about which would have made it impossible for relief to get to the people who needed it.

The state government claims that they didn't want the desperate people who were all assembled in that one location to have food or water so as to convince everyone to evacuate out of the city where they would surely not have found a way to get any relief. At the same time they refused relief for the people at the Super dome while forbidding them from leaving that hell hole.

The fact that these people have not been arrested and actually remain in positions of power is the most tragic and demoralizing thing of all.

And they are surprised that people refuse to leave their homes NOW after all that's happened? They paint the people who are staying as unbalanced or stupid but they're really knowing that as soon as they leave everything they have will be stolen by the hooligans in uniform. My God if ever a city needed to be taken over by the Feds, this is the time.
