[CC] 00:05:40 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. Our coverage continues in about ten minutes. 00:06:12

as someone on DU said:
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.
Rick Santorum just proved them right.
Sick.
yes. and, sick is too kind a word for it. nauseating would be more fitting.
