first you say no one deserved it and then you say they did deserve it. qualifying your second statement doesn't exclude the first. which one is it?

my point is the people who were most affected by this were not people who chose to "ride it out", they were the people who couldn't get out. even if they chose to risk it and stay there's nothing you can say that would make me agree that the people of the gulf deserved the disaster, looting, violence, rape, and death caused by katrina.
exactly. Its like saying "fock the kid who fell in the well, he shouldnt have been playing around it in the first place". but oh well, he fell in now we have to help him. It doesnt really matter why these people are in NO, but they are, and they are our fellow americans and they need help
