the buses werent called out until WEDNESDAY!, thats 2 days after they told everyone to leave. And there were ways to get out, b/c ppl WERE leaving in there cars, the problem was noone had gas in the city top leave. The shooters are stupid, fuck those idiots. The national gurads were there gettin ppl off the roofs. But im saying, everyone knew how bad it was gonna be. ANd the levvees broke monday right? And eveyrone kept saying "its gonna rise , its gonna rise" . Hell the president of FEMA just saw how bad it really is down there YESTERDAY. And he said to a reporter on CNN " i didnt know it was this bad". The reporter is like "what do u mean?, dont u watch TV?" I agree they did there best but cmon u know it could have been better, i dont blame the government, but i cant stand when people come down on the people when they couldnt leave.. ANd peopel starving to death on the streets should neve rhappen in the US.
