When the going gets tough, the government goes after the tough
Galveston area after Ike:
Authorities vow to force holdouts off Texas coast
Seems to be the accepted operating procedure now. When things get tough, government does a forced removal of citizens, including (especially?) those who were well prepared to deal with tough times.
"The Texas attorney general's office is trying to figure out how legally to force the holdouts to leave, Yarbrough said. Local authorities are prepared to do whatever it takes to get residents to a safer place."
Hm, they're supposedly looking for some tissue covering of legality? Did anyone ever figure out what if anything was used in New Orleans? I've heard Louisianas were supposedly declared "squatters" for living in their own homes. Anyone get an actual legally plausible explanation while being hustled out? I know many were yoinked by guardsmen with the clothes on their back (some of the nicer guardsmen gave a couple minutes and let people carry a bit on their person) before being hustled out and taken to camps in distant states and refused to give information on where they were being taken until they arrived.
