I saw a clip of the super dome and the folk out there, STILL in the thousands....WHAT GIVES

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.

I don't know about that...walking on hot pavement that is perhaps in the 85 degrees with extreme high humidity and no drinking water, along with carrying children, elderly or even worse, sick family members, would make it an impossible journey! Be realistic please, I know we are all upset and angry, rightfully so, at the looters and those shooting at rescuers, but NOT all the folk there are low life. So we can't throw them in the barrel with the rotten ones. Some are good decent, law abiding, hard working folk. Pray for them instead!

Your post represents the worst of humanity, as morally repugnant as the worst of looters.

I am continually amazed at the trash that rises to the surface of this forum. Thank goodness you don't in any way represent anything but a small subset of fools.

And they would be walking to where .... 2 days and 60 - 70 miles down the road, no food or water ...you're absolutely brilliant doc, don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise.

I think you may be right concerning some of the people who may have stayed in order to loot and take advantage. Also, some welfare types who just assumed "someone" would take care of them. HOWEVER, I also know that there are good, decent people who had no choice but to stay -- people with no resources, small children, elderly, disabled, etc. Sadly, thousands of them are dead by now. Pray for the survival of these good people and do whatever you can to help.
