First of all, and i heard this on TV and not sure if it is true, the resident were not told to evacuate in a timely manner. If all the residents had the ways and means to leave, the infrastructure would not have been able to handle it. It would have been one big parking lot. Knowing it is the end of the month and also that most residents live paycheck to paycheck, You don't just tell them to evacuate, you have to aid them in the evacuation. Supply transportation to get the residents out.Transport them to a safe area to ride out the storm. They had concerns about the roof of the Superdome before they seltered the residents there. Coming across the Gulf the hurricane was a catagory 5. The officials knew the levees were built to withstand a catagory 3. So they were aware that the levees could be compromised and unfortunately and sadly they were. After that sonny boy vacationed in Crawford and went to a party in Ca. without giving any thought to the victims in the Gulf states. Just a side note. Al Sharpton just took the press to task,as you have been doing, told them to stop calling the survivors "refugees". I'm not to crazy about the guy all the time but at least he is never afraid to set anyone straight. I'm now glad that Kanye was cut off on the show last night. Because they did it has been all over the press & net.Now everyone knows what he said not just the ones viewing the show.MSNBC,NBC etc. should be ashamed of themselves for cutting he off but now I say thank you. <:~)
