Could someone explain to me *why* snipers would be shooting at people trying to evacuate from a hospital?

Also, why hasn't the National Guard or Coast Guard shown up and ventilated these people yet?

*nod* -- I'm not blaming the National Guard. Federal priorities? They should have started staging on Sunday. If he's not lying about not thinking the levees would be breached, then he needs to get new advisers, or maybe just pick up a newspaper. Maybe news.google.com should go on the presidential reading list.

There are some very thirsty, very angry people in New Orleans. Some people simply didn't have the financial wherewithal to leave. One person interviewed said it cost her $200 to evacuate for Ivan, and she simply didn't have that cash this time around.
