1. not the tirme for humor... a lot of good people will die by morning...

[MikeG]

2. They should have left by now. They were warned.

[LisaL]

3. It's not so easy

Especially for the poor. What if they don't have cars?

[MikeG]

4. BS - There's plenty of transportation and shelters. I've been there.

[expatriot]

8. 100,000 at least depend on public transpo... plus, most deaths are

caused by flooding in the interior.

Okay, so maybe some people could have left and they made the wrong choice for what ever reason... are you saying its okay to be irreverent towards their deaths? Because they didn't make the best choice?

19. Well, it WON'T get only Republicans. Thanks a lot.

Watch the news. Some people don't have the money to pay for a hotel room - if there were any available. At this point the nearest hotel rooms available were in Jackson, Tennessee. And gas stations in New Orleans were charging $10 a gallon for gas.

So why don't you back off. Some people have no choice but to stay.

27. And those 3rd Class Passengers of the Titanic deserved their fate too.

5. A lot of people arent able to leave

I heard the Mayor of New Orleans saying earlier that 100,000 people there depend of public transportation, they cant go anywhere and lots of elderly folks.

I can not believe we still have power here in Mobile, it has gone on and off but for now, it's still on.

It looks like the eye is slightly turning towards Pensacola. Maybe a landfall between Mobile and Pensacola.

[MikeG]

6. I'll say it again - There is no such thing as not leaving this storm

They all had plenty of notice.

I've been there.

And if you're still in Mobile, You're nuts.

congrtulations, counselor of the poor

PS Paula Jones is a millionaire now

14. Nice Stars and Bars too in your avatar.

[DodgeDart]

20. That isn't the Stars and Bars.

The Stars and Bars was the flag of the Confederate states and did not have the Confederate Battle flag insignia in the corner. The flag on my avatar is the Mississippi state flag.

[MikeG]

21. I find it offensive. And you call me out.

[DodgeDart]

26. You find what offensive?

30. Has he said anything trollish yet? Not in this thread as far as I can see

11. 400K to stay b/c "evacuation process is taking as long as 10 to 12 hours."

In Louisiana, Dr. Walter Maestri, director of the Jefferson Parish's emergency management office predicted as many as 400,000 people would remain in New Orleans and surrounding areas "because the evacuation process is taking as long as 10 to 12 hours."

About 1.2 million people live in affected parishes in Louisiana, according to Lt. Col. Pete Schneider of the Louisiana Office of Emergency Preparedness. At least 33 shelters have opened in the state for displaced residents, but they are full and no hotels have vacancies, he said.

13. This sounds like something you'd find at Freak Republik.

And while we expect such things of the extra-chromosome crowd over there, liberals should be better than to gloat over other people's misfortunes.

15. Are you sure youre browser's working correctly?...

...this isn't LGF or FR. This is the kinda crap they peddle over there.

[AlFrankenFan]

16. not funny considering I have distant relatives living in trailer parks

[vegan ranger]

25. I live in a trailer park in Yuma, AZ

[AlFrankenFan]

29. welcome to du!

glad to hear your out of harm's way.

[kayell]

18. Classic

Blame the victim
The poor have no one to blame but themselves
Southerners are trailer trash

Even on DU, it is possible to find posters with neither compassion nor common sense.

[UpsideDownFlag]

23. "lots of trailer parks". thanks.

[tabasco]

24. You think this is funny?

Watch your karma.
