"We're appalled," said Jill Johnson, 53, of Saskatoon. "This city is built on tourism and we're their last priority." Jill, were you too stupid to realize you have no vested in interest in New Orleans and LEAVE?

Some tourists were trapped, legit.

It is kind of surprising that there were any tourists left at all.

Jill, were you too stupid to realize you have no vested in interest in New Orleans and LEAVE? I heard some of them interviewed yesterday from the Ritz, and they were unable to get flights or rental cars out of there...because there were none left. So they stayed, but not by choice.
As the story said, they'd hired buses to get out, but the buses were commandeered. Kind of a Robin Hood story there, huh?

It sure sounds to me like she is trying. They have actually tried to walk out.

Jill, were you too stupid to realize you have no vested in interest in New Orleans and LEAVE? Tell us again how they were supposed to leave when the airports shut down, there were no rental cars to be had and the charter buses that the hotel manager hired were seized by the feds.
