For those of you who berated the guy for asking about air drops...

Louisiana State Police helicopters arrived along Interstate 12 late Sunday morning to provide water and other supplies for more than 1,500 motorists who have been stranded for almost 24 hours.

I think there's a difference in bringing stuff to 1500 people in a small area and going house to house with a chopper

There's a massive difference between an "air drop" and delivering supplies by helicopter. The dude was asking for MRE's to be dropped in with miniature parachutes.

Think the guy said there were several groups at the property in question.

Big difference between people stranded n their cars on a stretch of interstate and people in a house.

Well, don't freak out on the guy for wanting to help his loved ones even if he is being a little over dramtic.

If you can't understand the difference, I can't help you.

You're gonna get it just as bad. 1500 motorists is different than house to house

Coming on to the OT and wanting food airdropped to his people at 8:00 because they hadn't eaten since lunch is drama. Calling him out isn't.

DGAF about the down votes, and I obviously see the difference. Just saying this board gave him an unnecessarily rough time.

No kill streak no air drops. We don't invent the rules.

No, he got exactly what he had coming. What intelligent person thinks that emergency services are (1) going to be flying helicopters around to individual houses making MRE airdrops because people missed lunch or (2) simply drop some food instead of actually removing the people from the situation? It was such a retarded post that I agree with many that said it was a troll post.

agreed...the guy was just asking for help and a lot of that shite went way overboard, imo. but, that is what we expect from the OT...

The air drop post was dumb and he got called out for it. Not sure why you seem to have taken it to heart as well

Yeah, the OP was a dick when people ask him some legitimate questions too.
