This is true, the corruption and greed of the Politicians most of which if not all were democrats was the paramount deciding factor in this tragedy. They knew for years that the day would come, and like most greedy pigs they rolled the dice even when the odds and the law of averages was not on their side. They figured they could get by one more time, and they lost the roll if the dice, they crapped out and people are dead, and most of the Population is scattered in a dozen or more States now. They will spend the next 8 months trying to figure a way outside of kidnapping to bring those Dem voters back to a freaking below sea level swamp. I would not be surprised if Mr. Jefferson (Democrat Louisiana)is right now as we freep trying to find a way to stay out of Prison and get re-elected without constituents in that District.
That is going to be one heck of a "get out the vote" drive.
