Yeah... what part of MANDATORY EVACUATION didn't they understand?
I raised the same question and got flamed big time. Since I'm low on Nomex and Kevlar, my current posture is to stay mum; and don't ask people to use common sense...

We are past that now, join the party.
We have to help the helpless now. It is your patriotic duty as an American to lend a hand.
No matter what bad judgment was exercised by these folks -- we still have an obligation to help the sick, the children, and the injured.
Many of these could not leave.
The reason?
Simple: these are the folks who rely on MASS TRANSIT.
I'm surprised nobody else has put two and two together here:
There are thousands who could not leave because mass transit doesn't work in an emergency!
How are people on welfare supposed to evacuate on 40 hours notice if they don't have cars, drivers licenses, or money to rent a car or buy a train, bus, or airplane ticket (as if there were ever enough available seats on public trnasportation even if they had the money)? The Superdome is the emergency evacuation center for those unable to physically leave the city.
Sorry you got flamed Cobra64.I believe that some just expected that everyone knew that people some were truly stranded. There just was no way to leave.

It's one thing to make it mandatory but if there's just no way to leave, what were they to do?
I read a thread last night where some Freepers had said they saw video or pics of brand new school buses. Underwater. Why didn't officials put people on those buses and get them out? They'd have saved their buses and people.
