Well, though it may be a tanget, it sure seemed that the state cared more about criminals than citizens. I can't forget that the parish prison was safely evacuated immediately after the hurricane, while the doctors, nurses, and patients at Charity Hospital were left to fend for themselves -- for a week, with gangs of thugs trying to break in.
My sister was among them, and she's got horror stories of the things they went through trying to keep those patients alive. A gang of 40 or so actually did break into the hospital.
It's a national embarrassment.
