the only people I ultimately blame are the people who stayed around in the first place, and then I blame the local govt.

my family from Slidell/St Tammany Parish all recieved automated calls on Thursday before the hurricane...

that idiot Mayor Naigan did not publically give the mandatory evacuation till Saturday night/Sunday Morning.

IF the Local Govt' was more organized and had their National Guard standing by or have them set up in Baton Rouge, things wouldve been alot different...but the fact remains that they were never called upon for a full mobilization, until AFTER the storm.

we can point fingers all day, and after watching the news.....every single politician who wants to get on TV is jumping out and pointing out how they "were the sole voice" for the people and tried to get everyone to move faster.

The people took their lives in their own hands when they stayed behind.
The local GOVT was not prepared and thought that the Federal GOVT would be ready to clean up their mess.

if I hear that Mayor Naigan try and act innocent or say that he begged for delegation, I'll drive to NO again and shoot him in the head. That guy is just trying to act like he was there for the people instead of telling the people that he's not fit to be a mayor.
