I had the pleasure listening to one of the rescuers on his experience with Louisiana while working for Blackwater. From what he explained, the people in New Orleans (I'm sure from most of Louisiana) are a very tribal group. Quite a few of them don't appreciate help, but they demand help. From what I've read on other forums about the refugees at the Astrodome, I tend to agree. I think they are quite different from us. But when it comes down to survival, I think people will dump their civilized manner and act aggressively just to stay alive. I guess I was one of the lucky ones who has not been approached by anyone while evaculating from Rita. Then again, I had enough sense to stay in a more well lit and populated area then an isolated rest stop. And just to be prepared, I had 2 loaded pistols within arms reach (one on me while the other in the glovebox) as well as a loaded 12 ga. in the back.
Excellent read btw. :)
