I have read several posts recently that have been very critical of these people's choices to stay in harms way. Hear me when I say that I agree with the fact that they should have left IF they had the means to.
However, what I am hearing from some members here is really sad. Do you really think that these people deserve to die? My goodness, get real for a second. They made a very bad life and death choice when they decided to stay. That is it. A bad choice. How many bad choices have I made in my life. Tons and tons I assure you. Some of the choices I made could have and probably should have ended my life. That does not mean I deserved what I had coming to me. It just means that I made a bad choice and I learned from my mistake. These people are fighting for their lives as we speak and some people are on here claiming that they have no pity on the "idiots" who decided to stay. In a sense, that is like saying I have no pity on someone who dies while chasing storms. They made the decision to leave their home and chase a dangerous situation.
I am not telling anyone here not to say what they feel. This is America and you have the right to say whatever is on your mind. Just like they had the right to stay in their homes. This is a time of great tragedy in our country and I think it would show a little class if we would hold off on our judgment of these poor souls until at least the water resides. Just my 2 pennies.
