Adrienne Curry No Sympathy for Hurricane Victims
Wow talk about harsh! Adrienne Curry is obviously frustrated with the people who chose not to acknowledge orders to evacuate or face “certain death” and she’s spilling it all on her MySpace.
I am sorry, but I believe all these people should have to pay the bill for their individual rescues! When they issue a “certain death” warning and you are fucking dumb enough to stay, you do not deserve free aid. I watched people being interviewed on the news claiming they bought a bunch of beer and BBQ to sit through the storm. I bet these same people are crying for help as I type. This is fucking stupid! Why should we have to foot a dime for these dumbasses that ignored these warnings?
FREE transportation was provided, many buses left half empty. FREE shelters were provided, many not filled up. People value MONEY and POSSESSIONS more than their own lives? IDIOTS!
I feel like we reward stupidity in this country, and this is the perfect example of it. What do you guys think?
edited note:: I never said they should DIE, I said if they value their MONEY and POSSESSIONS more then their own LIVES they should have to pay for endangering the lives of rescue workers, and sucking up more money this government DOESN’T have. someone claimed they didn’t want to lose their job…I wasn’t aware the bank was open that day!
Hate to say it but she’s right. I just don’t see why people can’t and won’t take warnings and do what they are told.
What do you think? Should the people who defied orders to evacuate be rescued and recover on the backs of taxpayers or should they be on their own?

The problem that I have with celebrities like Adrianne, is that she sits in this place of safety and comfort and spills out with all this venom about how everyone else is so stupid. What kind of authority is she? A storm survior? Has she ever had to leave her whole existence behind to escape with her life and her family? I just don’t get the anger.
Staying or leaving – what a horrible decision to have to make. It sure makes living through the earthquakes here in California seem like nothing.
Additionally, she was abducted and molested as a child. So I’m guessing her anger toward people who just hang back and do nothing stems from that in some way.
In spite of what happened to her, she rose above it and is very successful now – I find her quite interesting actually. It’s nice to see someone from humble, yet challenged roots getting ahead.
I think she makes such a valid point though – NEVER in the history of these storms has any media outlet used the words “face certain death” – I have to agree, when a warning THAT strong is issued, those who choose not to obey the orders when there was lots of free transportation for them – they need to take their seat at the end of the line and suffer some consequence for their actions.
For those who may not have had access to the warnings, I can see letting them slide a little, but for people to bitch and moan when they don’t get rescued quickly enough when they chose not to leave, it’s their own fault and they are wasting valuable taxpayers money.
I do see where you’re coming from though – just knowing about Adrienne’s background made me a little more understanding of where her opinion and harsh honesty stemmed from
I suppose that’s my cue to get off the computer.
I was just going to say that I’m in agreement with Adrienne Curry.
They should have got out and listened to all the warnings.
It doesn’t matter how many storms you think you’ve been through.
To begin with, not EVERYBODY who stayed chose to “tailgate” the storm. I can cite the example of the man with the wrecker service who was so busy helping others escape that, by the time he COULD leave, it was too late – roads flooded over.
Secondly, despite what she may have gone through in the past or where she may have grown up, weather a few Cat 2+ hurricanes (pun – take it or leave it) and then come talk to us.
Lastly (and this is kind of important), you can’t attack the people who stayed fairly without including those who left. The hurricane did not pick only occupied houses and properties to destroy. Whether they left or not, the hurricane demolished what it did regardless. So the dime being footed is not only for the oned who remained, but the families who evacuated and came back to nada but the clothes on their backs.
I am not disagreeing with the premise that there are WAY too many hands out for a quick check from Uncle George. I think on the whole, Texans did an OUTSTANDING job overall of getting things done for themselves before any state or federal agency could react (Lord knows we didn’t have much choice). But a lot of people lost EVERYTHING, whether they stayed or left. Many of us did all the right things (had insurance, prepared our properties, evacuated if necessary…and by the way, FREE transportation was EXTREMELY limited) but after the storm were bent over by the system. Insurance companies denying claims and FEMA and the SBA acting like a high-end credit company – offering help to everyone and turning down 90% of those who apply – made it even more devastating for even those who did everything right.
I think it is wrong for anyone, especially someone who came from humble beginnings and “made it”, to brush with such a broad stroke. It was not a “win” situation for ANYONE.
