Lemmy, there's an old saying "If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and has an orange bill..."
You keep calling them victims. If someone brings something upon himself or herself, can you still call them a victim? You also throw blame around like a blanket...but you're missing a large part of the target. That is the actual "victims" themselves.
Let me tell you, it is not the President's fault that these folks are in this predicament. It's not the fault of our governor. It's not the fault of the state police, or any of the local authorities. It is their fault. They were warned to get out. They were given a means to get to safety (yes shelters were provided ... no one was turned away) and they refused.
Now you, in Conneticut I believe, are gonna sit there and say that it is someone else's fault for their predicament? C'mon.
Hell, the man that I saw yesterday is still in harms way. Should we send a police unit over there to put him in cuffs and take him to Baton Rouge and set him free? Those police units are kinda busy guarding downed power lines that are sparking so that no one get's themselves electrecuted. Those police units are busy trying to stop those "victims" from killing their rescuers and from stealing electrical appliances (and putting themselves in harms way while they're doing it). Hell, when do we stop protecting these victims from themselves and use our resources to get on with the process of getting this city inhabitable so that all of those displaced folks can get back home. Right now, today, the police are gonna be real busy letting in the citizens so that they can go assess the damage to their homes, and get what they can salvage out. The authorities are needed to keep the order for that. Why should they have to divide their resources to go protect these victims from themselves.
Nuff said.
