Jamaicans are refusing to leave their homes for evacuation centers
despite the government's begging. Looting is the excuse, but when the
ENTIRE ISLAND has been thrashed, who gives a **** about looting? It's
like in New Orleans after Katrina-people didn't want to abandon their
personal possessions, only to find themselves stuck in a nightmare
with no way out. They lost their stuff anyway, and a few lost their
lives.
