Unhappy Katrina

****.. This thing is more serious than I thought. 10 000 may be dead?.. Sheesh. That's truly crazy. I think the #'s will be much much lower though. Remember the WTC estimates? The initial estimates were at like 50K I think. But it turned out to be like 3K. Well that was due to the fact that the attack was in the morning before a lot of people came into the building.. Wonder how this will play out tho..

I feel bad for those people; however it is most of their fault for not getting out when they were told to get out. Wish there was more I could do.

I think it's mainly b/c they were poor man. They had no method of getting out. Supposedly, it's mostly poor black people that were stuck. All the pictures I've seen are of black people. I am sure everyones noticed that?

I didn't realize that there was such a huge class separation in that state. wow is all I can say.

there's a huge class separation just about everywhere, just cause you dont see it everyday or it isnt in your face doesnt mean it isnt there

If it would have been me I would have been either riding my bike out or walking out, very little money in my pocket, business gone, no place to live, homeless and on the run........not something most people are prepared to deal with

Yeah I know. Crazy eh? SUpposedly there are like bodies infront of the dome. . Women getting raped and shitz. I mean geez. I hate when people take advantage of people in trouble. I remember I read the same **** in the Asian Tsunami.

Some girl who was like drowning was rescued by a man. Nice guy eh?..

Right after the rescue, he rapes her..

. People like that should be shot.
