Real world alert--many of these "poor souls" are looting Wal Mart's expensive items. They are there to LOOT, not to eat. They stayed behind to LOOT, not to eat MREs from the Red Cross.
They also stayed behind to loot the million-dollar homes in expensive neighborhoods, according to CNN.
When this is all done, a lot of questions need to be asked why the governor didn't enforce a full, mandatory evacuation (with public transportation for the poor) out of the city.
It would have been a lot easier to bus them out before the storm than it will be tomorrow.
"many of these "poor souls" are looting Wal Mart's expensive items."
I didn't know Walmart had any. Seriously, this loot is going to be of little value in a town with no food, water, electricity, sewer system, and plenty of rats, snakes, and fire ants. And I doubt the National Guard is going to help the looters carry the loot to high ground.
