Do you seriously belive that any of these people tought that it would turn out like this?
The idiots who are looting are freakin morons,but hey lets not get ahead of our selfs making comments like,that everyone is a dumbass that did not LEAVE!
I hope you do not come accross nobody who had Family over there that died,after you make a statement like this!
Some people are so poor that it is hard for them to leave what they have behind,they do not know what to do,not everybody is so freakin smart like you....
But i guess it is easy for you to say dumb S***,while you're siting at home and watching TV while your feet are up on the Table....

With that in mind--- many dont have a proper education, and when things like this occur, their minds do not comprehend the fact that disaster aftermath such as flooding can occur. As for the looting... can we honestly blame these people? I mean they're living years of their lives waiting for their meager checks due to being on welfare... so they jump at an opportunity to collect stuff for themselves and their familes. We can't say that the lives lost were "justified" --- a life lost is a life lost and we need to acknowledge the importance of precedence for that over a silly piece of sheet metal you see above.

Are you serious??? "waiting for their meager checks due to being on welfare". This justifies looting?? They need to get a job and get off welfare because I'm sick of supporting their a**es!

+1 Stevem. We work our butts off day in and day out to support a huge number of these people. Not to say that I would ever wish to switch places, but in many cases the system is being taken advantage of.
This post wasn't meant to start a huge debate, just saw the pic and it related directly to the Z community. It's amazing the loss of life and property. We all love our cars and our lives here.... it's hitting on every front.

I think the government is responsible for allowing.facilitating a city to be built below sea level. you can't breathe below sea level. It makes no sense. I also think Florida and california should be considered un-inhabitable. Anyone who decided to live there in the first place is taking a risk that a natural disaster could take everything the have. don't buy a house close to a river or at the bottom of a hill. Water kills.

ok, so live there, but if you are going to live there you should be prepared to evacuate, if you are too poor to evacuate when there is something happening, you should have been in a safer place to begin with. Looks like survival of the fttest if you ask me.

As poor as some of these people are in NO, I find it hard to believe that they couldn't afford a city bus ticket to the Super Dome when the warning was issued. Frankly, I'm sure they could have even walked to shelter.
Had everyone evacuated or gone to an approved shelter the rescue effort could have been immediately focused on those within the shelters.
Perhaps manditory evacuation should be law like a curfew. Those not obeying the order will be arrested and receive a lower priority assistance after those who did as told. Also, every city should have a P/U service connected to 911 so that the elderly who can't get out are serviced.

New Orleans is starting to remind me of Mogadishu, and I hate it. I was there a couple weeks ago for a triathlon and it seemed pretty sketchy then. I can only imagine what it's really like right now.

I am not trying to start a political war on these forums, but had this happened somewhere else in the world, all of us would be saying that the "commander in chief" should be held accountable. Its sad how this has turned into a photo op for the higher-ups. Too little waaaaay too late.
