  You won’t have much of a choice when FEMA is gone.

    Right, because nobody lived here prior to the existence of FEMA.

      Yeah, it’s not like there’s a reason fewer and fewer insurance companies will write a policy in that state every year. It’s not like the property insurance rates are the highest in the country.

  Interesting that a Californian making a callous comment about living in hurricane country is somehow equivalent to the conservative media industry absolutely cheering bloodshed any time natural disasters strike us. 🙄 If California celebrated like this any time, much less every time, a natural disaster hit somewhere else it would have its own dedicated conservative channel playing it on loop.

  I’ve lived through multiple hurricanes because I haven’t always lived in California. People from everywhere say that stupid shit about hurricane prone areas. Take the chip off your shoulder.

    It’s more than a callous comment. It is the epitome of victim blaming, and the fact that you are attempting to make apologies for it is telling.

      I’m someone that is from tornado alley. I celebrate when they get hit now because it means that they have to experience the consequences of their actions.

      My family is still there and I hope they can get out but, most of the people I met their would shake your hand while stabbing people like me in the back.

      Go have this fight with someone that wants to have it and didn’t make it clear that kind of behavior isn’t alright. Maybe somewhere other than on a thread about cops threatening to come assault protesters in their homes.

        It’s a very personal issue for me.

        I lost everything and had to start over with little more then the clothes on my back, and then to hear people say I should’ve just moved?
