After listening to some of the current reports re the Mayor, it seems he bears some responsibility. 80 Percent of the people evacuated when told to leave. The remaining 20 percent who either refused to leave or were stuck in hospitals, etc. is what you see on TV. If he had a brain in his head he would have evacuated those hospital patients at the outset and transported them to Houston or another city on higher ground. He didn't do that. He left them there...as well as nursing homes, animal shelters, assisted living communities, etc. Anyone with an ounce of common sense would have made that a priority. Now he wants to blame the administration. I personally know of someone with the Red Cross who got there early on and they had bridges washed out, main roads into the city closed because of dangerously high waters, snakes, etc. and then to get bad-mouthed. Then when the helicoptors came in to evacuate folks from hospitals, some nice folks there shot at them. I wouldn't want to go back in knowing I might get shot down. There are two sides to everything. Just my .02.
