People Who Refuse to Evacuate

No one is saying you should be forced to leave or that they don’t often exaggerate storms. But they don’t usually give this much attention to every storm that comes through, so I’m still not sure what point is being made since those examples don’t mean you shouldn’t take steps toward self preservation.

While you may think that’s mean, I think staying in the path of a storm that everyone is warning may destroy your home and potentially kill you is stupid. Having said that, I think the fee should be used sparingly and only on those that had the ability to leave. People limited by medical issues and the like would be exempt. You do realize that the government already charges for many or types of rescues, right? This isn’t anything new. You’re also sensationalizing how the process would go. It’s all civil, and if the fee isn’t paid then they go to civil court. It certainly doesn’t have to be criminal. A lot of county ordinances are civil penalties, and those tickets you get from traffic cameras too. This isn’t as cruel, difficult, and uncommon as you’re making it. |
