the wealthy people got out of there when they were told to... these other people, I don't think, could afford to leave. One of our African American teachers up at school said:
"I think black people underestimate water... there is that taboo that they don't swim, etc. and I seriously think they had no clue how fast it can take over... these people are on government assistance for EVERYTHING and they are used to getting it when they want it and now they are having to wait, so they are freaking out, killing and looting..." (what the heck are they going to do with a conveyor belt from a grocery store??? Go home and plug it in?!)

And all I read about on Monday or Tuesday was that every freaking plane or helicopter that tried to get in there, was SHOT AT. Hmmmm... wonder if that dampered things a bit?
