I saw a clip of the super dome and the folk out there, STILL in the thousands....WHAT GIVES? I will not pardon the shooter, but those folks must be awful tired, hungry, anxious and desperate to get the heck outta there. I think the governor or mayor or SOMEONE with big credentials needs to make an appearance to these folks in person and calm them down. All human beings need reassurance at one time or another! They don't know what is going on right now with the evacuation plans. They didn't see the President speak or probably haven't heard a word from anyone else but those who are chartering them away in buses! HOW awful to be in their shoes right now. Now with all that said, looters and those shooting at their rescuers need to be apprehended immediately! Lifting prayers for those folks who are still waiting to be rescued!
The GOOD people awaiting rescue do need our prayers--they're caught up in a nightmare! I can't even imagine the terror they must be experiencing, on top of the lack of food, water, and sanitation.
At a walking/wading speed of, let's say, 3 mph, those people could easily have walked out of the city by now. They really are a bunch of selfish types that believe they will be looked after by someone else and thay don't have to do a thing for themselves. A subset of this cultural sewer believes they can do whatever they want ang get whatever they want through violence and intimidation. I cannot use the expressions and words that are appropriate because I don't want to get banned from this forum.
Amen to that. Prayers are definately needed.
