to shoot! or not to shoot!

[Varmint Hunter]

Considering the geographically perilous situation that New Orleans has always been in, the evacuation points should have been adequately stocked with food, water, cots and whatever other emergency supplies would typically be needed.

The Mayor and the Governor both displayed ZERO foresight, and it resulted in huge suffering to their constituents. Now they are quick to blame everyone else.

Residents who decided to "stick it out" should have been much better prepared just in case the experts were correct.

In my opinion, New Orleans should not be rebuilt. You can spend billions of Federal $$$$$ and have this happen again next year or 5 years down the road. Who knows. Fill it in and convert it into a Christmas tree farm. The people would be better served elsewhere.

One last thought - Could you (anyone) really live with yourself if you killed some kid for stealing shoes?????????? How can that be morally justified? I may be in the minority here but I'm surprised to see so many of you who advocate shooting people who are no threat to anyone. Summary execution defies all the principals that make America great.
