Do you remember when all of those people from NOLA tried to cross the bridge into the next town over and the sheriff's dept of that town met them with a wall of armed sheriffs and would not let them in? ...
My reaction at the time was the same as yours, but the sheriff's response was based on information we didn't have and that the media might even have kept from us. Nobody wants this element in their communities because it's like a cancer once it gets in, infecting everything it touches and causing death.
I also remember the dogs. As a doggie person myself, I found it really distressing. :(
That's it. The media played the race card, like they always do.
