I can honestly say I wouldn't shoot at people or helicopters, even if I was in that situation.

No one was shooting at helicopters during 9/11.

No, in fact, I don't understand how people (caytexo) can compare the hurricane to 9/11 in the slightest. People were warned, people did not react like this to 9/11 and hurricanes and terrorists are obviously not the same thing

^Exactly!

I don't think people realize that more people are dying from this hurricane than the 9/11 attack...I get really frustrated when people say, " well we've been through worse, like 9/11, thousands of people died". Yes, I know that thousands of people died and terrible things happened, but there's absolutely no reason not to care about the hurricane as much as you did for the 9/11 attack.

great. these crazy ass ingrates are coming to my state. its the damn ghetto people I tell you! the ghettos and the white trash!! no class!! whatever happened to class?? morons. and this canot be compared to 9/11. because new york showed unity in times of darkness.

Whaaaaat?? are you serious? Where do you expect people to go?

well I dont mid that they are coming here, but I just don't want crazy people shooting up my state!! I don't think they should be doing that at all. Its really pathetic. I just don't want all that drama to be brought here. I wish people would be more mature and just unite so the government can spend more time doing their job and not playing babysitters.

Oh, yes, well that's perfectly understandable. I think the shooting and riotous things are ridiculoius,and it really disgusts me. What state do you live in?

Texas

Ah. In Georgia, we're getting people, but not a particularly large amount.

They're not going to bring the shooting to wherever they're going, because the situation isn't as desperate at wherever they're going. They're only shooting because they're desperate in New Orleans.

They are bringing in like 10,000 to my city (Tulsa, Oklahoma) this weekend. I have no idea where tehy are going to put them, we dont have a big enough place to keep 10,000 people.

the shooting helicoptors was a gang war, i think.

i think people don't realize that katrina's damage is probably going to top andrew's.

the damage by hurricane andrew was more than 9/11.

and it's a wide swath, not a localized destruction of comercial and government property.

in 9/11, it wasn't massive residential areas destoryed.

in katrina, you're talking people with no houses, no food, no water. and won't get them for a long time.

Hurricane Katrina was a natural disaster. Unlike the 9/11 attacks... those were man-made disasters.

Wtf is up with the society?!

ugh the government wus warned in 2001 that a huge hurricane will hit that area and the government didnt even have a plan or prepare for the storm in 3 years which caused the disaster.. it couldve done a bit lesser damage but dont criticize me cuz thats wut my teacher said >.>

well then with all due respect (which is probably none) your teacher is an idiot.

weather can't even be predicted past a week, much less three weeks.

hurricanes hit all the time. it's why it's called a hurricane season.

:o Wow, I don't blame them. Well actually, I do. Like 'slipper' said, their conditions are pretty bad, but that doesn't give them a right to shoot at random people like that.
What a catastrophe.

Actually, the area is populated mostly by projects. If you didn't know, there is violence in the projects. The people there didn't want to get caught looting, so their first thought was to shoot down any authorities they saw.
