I think this could and would be a valid question if framed correctly but folks are not ready for the answer because the blame lies squarely at the feet of the prior administration.
First, remove the severely stretched analogy and ask the real question:
Why could 200K people not get out? Rephrased: Why did so many die?
there were two distinct and separate events that faithful weekend
1) one of the largest, most powerful storms swept across the Gulf Coast. Storms and hurricanes are not unusual, although this was an unusual storm.
But this is not the killer…
2) the failure of the levee system. This was predictable and was the subject of intense speculation for years before the actual catastrophe. The city knew the levees would fail at some time (infrastructure). They gambled and lost. This is a cause. But this is not the killer…

What did kill people was for upwards of 72 hours, no agency or authority mounted anything resembling a response. I mean all that had to be done is to chopper in bottled water and MRE's and that effort could have begun that afternoon. That alone would have mediated the human devastation. People would have made there way the the supplies; people would have helped others the those nodes. Im not saying everyone would have survived, but the situation was rapidly approaching Lord of the Flies and our true human anima would have rushed headlong into that senerio had it not been for the military show of force.

We had similar problems here with city and state employees getting caught using city and state email to forward racist emails during the presidential campaign.

And then there's this guy who people are tracking because what he has on his radio show is absolutely racist hate speech.

A listener who calls in:

Unidentified Caller: And I am concerned that the freedoms that were given to us by our white forefathers and preserved by white blood will be taken away by people of color in the name of fairness.

Idiocy and ignorance.
