Senator rick santorum is criticizing the government's emergency
response to hurricane victims hurricane katrina victims. But he's also
criticizing the ones who chose to ride out the storm. I mean, you have
people who don't heed those warnings and then put people at risk as a
result of not heeding those warnings. There may be a need to look at
tougher penalties on those who decide to ride it out and understand
that there are consequences to not leaving. Coming up, hurricane
relief in Mississippi. The lights are finally coming on in some of the
hardest-hit areas.
If they were too poor, too sick, or old to get out of the city by
their own means, then screw them! Little Ricky wants them to pay fines
too!
No wonder some of the hurricane victims do not want to be rescued,
fearing they are going to be charged for the helicopter ride. These
poor people know very well how America treats the poor, and that
there's nothing free here, not even humanitarian relief.
