Maybe those areas are completely covered in water and can't be accesed. Any attempt for aid would be a wasteful use of resources.

This press release is dated August 26th, Katrina didn't really hit Lousiana until the 29th. Why do you have such a hard time grasping simple concepts?

I made a breif assumption after, very briefly reading your post. I will go back and take a closer look but please do not attack my intelligence on unfounded grounds.
here is the actual press release... http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2005/08/20050827-1.htmlIt doesnt take a whole lot of intelligence to realize that the coastal parishes were gonna get hit the hardest.
People knew of the storm at least 5 days ahead of time, but instead of walking and maybe getting somewhere higher, they stay in the city and get fucked.

Out of the state of lousiana? You wanna call these people stupid and at the same time say something as dumb as what you just wrote. What were people without cars supposed to do, just pack up and go on a 100 mile hike out of town with their kids? What about elderly people? Here is a better idea, people knew about it 5 days ahead of time, how bout someone from the govt... err i dunno, a member of the Bush Administration, Homeland Security, or FEMA get some buses together and send them down.

People need to take care of themselves when things don't go their way. If they were on higher ground, whether they walked 5 miles or 100 miles, they would have been safe. There is incompentence on both sides of the fence here. Just because you hate the Bush administration, don't let that blind you.
