It's a good thing all those school busses are sitting in 3 feet of water down there instead of having been used to actually evacuate people BEFORE everything hit the fan. The corrupt, worthless city and state governments of LA deserve a HUGE part of the blame for the resulting chaos. Where was their plan? Oh yeah! Let do effing NOTHING and [censored] and moan to the Feds as soon as the storm passes, whining about how THEY'RE doing nothing! Stupid freakin' morons. THEY should be the ones to look out for their own selves. Since when is it the rest of the country's problem to make sure dikes are sufficient in a city below freaking sea level? Is it the rest of the country's problem to make sure buildings in San Francisco are earthquake-proof? DUH! Gimme a break! The officals down there need to be proscecuted for gross negligence WAY before any of this is taken to the Federal level.

There was a story a year ago in National Geographic along almost the same lines of exactly what happened this week, so it's not like they "didn't know".

Also, if the mayor and/or governor would have issued shoot-to-kill orders for anyone not looting food and medical supplies, we wouldn't have NEARLY the looting and destruction that we see now.

And who's responsible for calling out the STATE National Guard? OH YEAH! The Governor, NOT the President. Unbelievable.

I pray for everyone down there, suffering the woefully inept actions (and INactions) of the state and local governments.
