I'm not saying any of that. I'm just surprised at the almost gleeful piling on going on here. We're talking about fellow Americans in unfortunate, difficult straits, and lots of freepers seem to be jeering their plight.

I don't think it's gleeful.

I think folks are getting SICK of hearing people who live in hurricane country, who KNOW what the heck can happen, who had FIVE days of warning, whining about being out of food or water all of two days after the event. Heck, if I lived down there, I'd have a generator and at least three weeks worth of water and food, along with extra gas. You can always use all of the extras up after the season is over.

We're not gleefully jeering those who suffer generally beyond their control.
We can't help but get scathingly cynical about those who, having gotten pounded 4 times last year AND got a week's warning this year, couldn't be bothered to stick a few gallons of water in the freezer - and in turn blame [Jeb] Bush et al.
