Um...some people had no means to leave. Some people didn't want to leave pets. Some tried, but turned back because the traffic was so bad. There were plenty reasons people couldn't leave

Never said anything to the contrary. Just stated that we are acting as if the city "treated it's citizens a certain way". There's always been the belief that no one cared about those people and we were okay with them dying in the storm. I'm just saying that it's not exactly fair to say that the government didn't step up and basically undertake a rescue of the most massive scale probably ever seen. Should have been more prepared, no doubt. But I also don't think it's fair to treat them like murderers either.
