What the hell?

Saw this in the news (regarding the hurricane mess):

-----
Some in Mississippi and Louisiana were frustrated with relief efforts.

"Many people didn't have the financial means to get out," said Alan LeBreton, 41, an apartment superintendent who lived on Biloxi, Mississippi's seaside road, now in ruins. "That's a crime and people are angry about it."

Are people really that disillusioned in this country? They're given warning that a hurricane is coming to an area that we all know is below sea level and they choose not to leave, losing their homes because of it. People rally together to try and help them while they loot, pillage, and burn what remains of the city. If it weren't for the people who are truly suffering, I might feel bad about giving something to the Red Cross. It's absolutely disgusting to check the news and see things like this:

-----
"The mob could begin to rule in a few days if these people do not get more food and water," said August Pillsbury, who was in charge of the canteen.
-----

Or the President of the United States having to issue warnings such as:

----
"I think there ought to be zero tolerance of people breaking the law during an emergency such as this, whether it be looting, or price-gouging at the gasoline pump or taking advantage of charitable giving, or insurance fraud," Bush said in an interview on ABC's "Good Morning America."

Seriously people. Settle the fuck down. Get in line. Wait your turn. If you would just act like sane, decent human beings then maybe, just maybe you'll get the food, water, and evacuation that you need. It's either that or we can consider New Orleans lost to the ocean and let you rot in the filth you've decided to lay for yourselves.
