I appreciate your compassion for the dying Dirtboy, but the best thing the residents of NO could have done was get out when they told everyone to leave.
They DIDN'T HAVE FRIGGIN' CARS. The City did NOT FOLLOW IT'S OWN PLAN for using buses to get them out. And when they tried to leave on foot to get away from Hell, THE GRETNA POLICE FORCE BLOCKED AN OFFICIAL EVACUATION ROUTE!
How much MORE BASIC does that get? This was an extreme humanitarian situation!
How many people were stopped? I would like an exact or close to an exact number.
