98% of the deaths in this were from stupid people. Why are there so many retards that ignore mandatory evacuation orders?

I heard cell phones don't work either right now. At the moment New Orleans is a dead city, almost a war zone. Looting is at an extreme high, Prisoners were released and are in the city right now, gangs have looted gun shops and have armed them selfs, roaming the streets, the police cannot protect the city at the moment, neither can the national gaurd becuase they are trying to resque people in the extreme danger areas.
Now there are some people who are looting for good reasons, such as finding clean food and wwater, but others are after T.V.s and such.
New Orleans won't be a functioning city for months...
ADDITION:
Many are stupid yes, but I heard some simplelycouldn't leave for one reason or another (no car, no place to go, no money, etc)
We can expect many, many more deaths in the near future from disease and such...

How can you loot/rob anything in New Orleans? Most everything is underwater now.
O my god how horrible I saw It in the news And I could not Imagine that disaster
But I could Imagine the flood I had to move to A new house in 2002
I hope that hurricane Stops once and for all
The hurricane has stopped its just all rain and winds right now....and then the leaves they are braking so more and more water is coming in which is going to put New Orleans under water.
the super dome is fully filled but there like way more people outside then inside.... deceases can spread easily in a place like that....and wat if they need to use the bathroom or something he cant realy go anywhere...
Part of- actually, A LOT of damage was also caused by the fact that the wetlands surrounding New Orleans--A CITY UNDER SEA LEVEL ON THE GULF COST-- were REMOVED, leaving New Orleans with almost no defense against a hurricane. This was bound to happen, and it did.
even though the super dome is full and yes there is a very strong risk of disease because there is no electricity or plumbing nothing adn the bathrooms dont flush and there is no ac so its very hot and people start to get grumpy when they are trapped in 1 place with alot of people for a long time...and people outside are getting probably easier infected because there is dead animals/people/oil leaks/gas spreading everywhere so whoever is walking around in the water is probably going to get infected
I dont think they are gonna have new orleans out of atlantas for a while its gonna be another lost city...y did they even build it in the first place. GAS IS 3 DOLLARS NOW I CANT AFFORD IT!
ADDITION:
Noone has mensioned the looters yet...Its fu*kin crazy wut those people doin they doing. They gonna get killed by some marines and michigan just sent like 1500 down there and the Sheriffs department for some city i heard.
ADDITION:
O wait sum1 did talk about Looting...o well

Hmm, I've heard on the radio that they had to STOP the rescue efforts to go after looters. By go after, I mean "shoot to kill" kind of go after. There are reports of murder, suicides and rapes in the Super Dome. Don't know if they plugged the levees yet...I think I heard that they were able to halt the water or something...
Are they even going to rebuild New Orleans? Hell, this is worse than 9/11 in terms of immediate impact...
I do beleive its that bad, I keep seeing videos of helicopters landing and big crowds rushing in around the helicopter, almost grapping the crew out (who were giving out supplies).
And about how people who have food and water must keep it a secret and not show it or else they could be beaten and robbed. and I just heard again that armed gangs are roaming the streets, having frequent shoot outs with the police. Crowds have attacked poeple and its just really bad down there.

Its almost like Resident evil: Raccoon city, as in all the hungry poeple are zombies

i hear their sending out alot more soldiers for help today and also where im lving (massachusetts) theres a red cross box in like every store taking donations ;\. and i also hear that the old or weak people are jus dieing in corwds cuz of deceases
The Army = UBCS forces, Bush+the government = Umbrella

They just said that today (ATREYU: The news in my country Its just too slow to inform they have just said that they dont have any food)
ADDITION:
I have heard in the news that some people took the chance of this disaster and started stealing children.
Man this is getting even worse now the people of new orleans cant go to other countries or go back to their homes

Man I hope the president does something soon
Our school is already getting refugee high school students from New Orleans. But Houston and San Antonio should be getting like 10 times more students than us.
My sister had to flee from New Orleans, luckely she got out in time, now shes going to be quoted in the Seattle Times about Kitrina

on CNN they showed some planes droping these bags in the flood water in new orleans. i think it was some stuff to drain out the water or something cuz they said they had like 300 bags dropped in it
I heard yesterday that they where 200 prisoners in new orleans
I just heard
Short version of what I said in the Orleans Scanner topic:
BUSH IS A
RETARD FOR SAYING THAT WAR DOESN'T DEPLETE RESOURCES! HELL, I JUST GOT OFF CIVILIZATION THREE AND EVEN IN THAT WAR TAKES MONEY, NATURAL RESOURCES AND LIVES! WHO THE
DID WE ELLECT FOR A SECOND TERM?Kitrina has a lot to do with Bush right now...
He was asked wether the war had any effect on teh resources available to help with Katrina victums.
Money is effected, but other resources not really, Im sorry to say.....
Now there taking the water out from new orleans.
they will finish taking out water in 3 months more.
95% of the police in new orleans died or is not active or you know
Bush needs to give lots of food to solve tis problem
maybe more presidents need to help.
Did you know that in my country the gasoline (I dont know if its called gasoline) raised up the price from 2 dolars to 3 1/2??? and it shall keep raising
Money is only afected Chris? HELLO TANKS DON'T RUN OFF NOTHING!
Bullets take metal. Hell, jeeps take metal. War takes resources of every imagineable kind.
Rubber for tires, wire for electronics, explosives, people, gas, food, money, bandages, medicine, time, ect.
bullets = depleted urainum
Tires = We manufacture them, remember? WW2 we invented sinthetic rubber (or how ever you spell it)
Dude, MY BRO, we have enough resources here, also we have millions and million and millions and billions of gallons of oil in reserve for times just like this, if need be we use it.
