I think you are the one that is sounding like an idiot.
People are dying there. It is dramatic, and it is going to be more dramatic as the days go on.
No one is helping those people now. They need help. I don't know how to get the help to them, but they need it now or there will be hundreds more dead in the coming days.
I mean think about it, we are literally witnessing a city dying right before our eyes, imagine if CNN was around during the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, or Galveston or the Johnstown Flood. This could wind up making those three seem pale in comparison.
You and I are in complete agreement here.
"No one is helping those people now."
But not here. Did you miss the part of Shepard's show where he showed the National Guard trucks bringing water onto the bridge? And did you miss the video of the convoy full of people moving off the bridge. The people there are getting help. But it is a disaster area, and help will not be instantaneous. But it is coming soon. The fact that that three year old little boy was last shown fully lucid and fidgeting around in his mother's lap indicates that he isn't aware some people have declared he is "obviously dying".
