Can you believe some of the comments? The law enforcement folks are told they have to stay and most want to stay to help and then when they're stranded or killed, some freepers have the nerve to make comments like this?

And for the others...some people are just poor but most of us on FR who have computers and can afford things like internet service don't understand that there is abject poverty left in this country.

Sad to see the mean hearted comments. There are many in this country who can barely fend for themselves.

We are nothing, if we don't care for those folks at this time of peril.

I was in the LA NG as an MP when Hurr. Georges passed right by us. Let me tell you, they housed us in a Trustee prison cell in Chalmette, LA with other inmates on another wing. It was our duty to help other citizens when ordered to do so, regardless of opinion. Fact is, we new that we would likely die if the levee broke. There was discussion of how to get out, but in my honest opinion, we would have been fighting to stay afloat where we were. Don't even think that there isn't alot of gators around that area, let alone snakes of all sorts. If you look at a map, there's the Bayou Savage Wildlife Refuge right next to the levee that broke! I can attest to the size of the ones I've seen there, and the make a 12' rogue look like a dingy next to a destroyer.

Ditto. They can't be REAL freepers... I won't own them and their mean spirited comments.
