If there were not any drivers, why weren't the mayor and governor on asking for volunteers to drive people out? I'm certain people would have responded. You NEVER heard about the buses with no drivers until AFTER the pictures floated (sorry) around the internet.

Did the local authorities even ASK the public bus drivers if they would transport people to safety ... I THINK NOT !

That would have required leadership, forethought, focus, understanding of the situation and abstract thinking. In the military, we used a model called by various names, but it was essentially "Worst Possible Situational Thinking". It's purpose is to get you to think through a problem before it becomes a problem. It does not require much of a lead time, but it does require that you take yourself out of the picture personally and lead. In order to do that, you have to be able to define "leadership".

The mayor and the governor had no use for that because they were political lowlife's to begin with. In keeping with the political traditions of LA, they (and the "Senator") are crooked, incompetent, bottom-feeding ward-heelers.
