"Tell me the family that had the child that was suffering from sickness and dehydration were they supposed to swim their way through 5 foot of water to get to the Super Dome where they had stopped letting folks into already or how about the poor elderly woman who was brought to the bridge area by boat and could barely walk, was she supposed to swim over there."

No. I think they were much better off sitting there in the hot sun. It would have made absolutely no sense for them to carry that child the 3000 or so feet to the same Salvation Army rescue center that Shep's counterpart was reporting from. Nevermind that they wouldn't have had to swim across "moats". Nevermind that just a five minute walk away there was water, food, and medical care. They were much better off sitting on the concrete and having Shep yell stupid questions at them from above. I mean, that was some moving reporting. That was some great video. And apparently that is what really matters.

The Buses were driving through deep water. tell me the old lady that couldn't walk, was she supposed to crawl there? How long do you think it would take an elderly woman to crawl half a mile? Come on now flail around a little more I am sure you got more B.S. to spew!

And again if that is ALL they had to do why did not that cop or any other authorities point it out to them? Also several had told of being sent one place and then when they got there being told to go someplace else.

Also now hearing that they stopped folks from coming to the Super Dome area because they didn't have the resources to take them all to the Astro Dome.
