Are They Crazy?

WTF? Apparently people have been shooting at helicopters that have been trying to evacuate people from the Superdome. Are they fucking crazy? These people are trying to help you and you shoot at them. I understand you are tired/angry/frustrated/hungry, and that you want out. People, they are (hopefully) going to get you all out. But not if you shoot at them.

And somewhat related. I'm a little appaled at what seems to be a serious lack of planning for the recovery effort. They thought a Catagory 5 hurricane was going to strike. The most devastating there is, with the mayor of New Orleans predicting widespread flooding. Shouldn't there have been more people/supplies/military help in place?
