I don't know how many times I have to say this until it sinks in:

THERE WERE SOME PEOPLE WHO CHOSE TO STAY, EVEN THOUGH THEY HAD THE CAPABILITY TO GET OUT.

Now - in that all-caps sentence, did you see anything implied that "all" people who stayed, chose to stay? Did you see anything implied that "most" people who stayed, chose to stay?

Respond to what I say please, and not to what you interpret.

I'll point out, that even now, after the storm is over, the troops are in, there are SOME people who STILL refuse to leave. Even though rescuers are knocking on their doors with boats at the ready, practically begging them to leave.

My opinion stands: Those who CHOSE to stay (as opposed to those who couldn't leave) are now seeing the results of their inaction.
