damn dude, u know I got nothin but love for you, but that was probably the most fucking ignorant statement I've heard all year.
new orleanians get told to "leave" about once every couple years, and since 1969 it hasnt been necessary to do so, cry wolf so many times... and 80% of the people there actually did leave, in a metropolitan area of 1.6 million people (n.o and surrounding parishes) thats a pretty high # of evacuees.
How about the crippled people who cant drive, walk, talk, wipe their own asses, wanna prop them up on the side of I-10 so they can "thumb it" out of town?
It's not as easy as just hitching a ride out of town, as much as you might like to think it is, it's not. And 80% of 1.6M SAFELY evacuated is pretty fucking impressive. A lot of people helped you out when you needed it and didn't tell you to "thumb it"
show some fucking compassion
