It's the NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOs
Ok—someone just shoot Geraldo Jerry Rivers—he’s grabbing babies and crying! That’s a big freakin’ help.
Shep has a point, though. They’re not letting people walk the hell out of N.O. Somehow, someone somewhere thinks it’s better for those thousands in the Convention Center to stay in that building than to let them walk out of the city into an outlying area. Now it may be that the area that is reachable on foot is even worse off than the downtown. It may be that those who could make the walk aren’t the folks they want running around loose in a Hot Zone.
There is so much chaos on the streets that the National Guard is not allowing the Red Cross to go into the city. That’s a clear indicator.
I am seeing the majority of people who’re stuck to be healthy looking adults. It would be verra kewl is those folks could be put to work helping the others instead of being thought of as “victims” to be handled.
But what do I know?
I’m with you, girlfriend. The first few days we saw the old, sick, very young and the lame. Those folks seemed to have been moved, for the most part.
These younger, healthier ones could certainly be pressed into providing more help. You would think some of them would want to stay. This would allow them to keep an eye on the things that they may have “liberated” prior to going to an evacuation center.
