Sometimes it's just reality. I live in hurricane territory and people are warned to evacuate every time, and every time people don't. And we help them pick up the pieces and clean up in the aftermath, every time. I'm not victim blaming, but I don't support blaming big brother for not saving people from themselves either.
I am sure there are some fucked up individual situations here, but wholesale "It's all Buffalo's fault" is nonsense.

Some people are 100% to blame for ignoring common sense.
How can the government do anything to prevent people like this woman?
