I don't feel sorry for those people because they are just plain IDIOT for going out in the storm! Stay home, morons!
your the moron, maybe some people have important jobs nurses for example they may be needed on call to take care of your sick asss someday
I doubt pic #2 is a line of nurses trying to make it to the hospital... winter campers...? Porabably soon thereafter.
Captions in the pictures say "blizzard"....really??? At most, it's moderate snowfall.
Kansas dont normaly get this much all at once, Michigan does and were use to it , the moron that started this just dont understand how to get around in the snow...and yes still need to get to work if you have a job..
Gee's hardly a foot of snow and they're crippled! I find it hard to believe communities in the midwest aren't equiped to deal with such a moderate amount of snow!
