New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie blasted Atlantic City Mayor Lorenzo Langford earlier today for choosing to shelter citizens at schools rather than issue a mandatory evacuation order. “For those elected officials who decided to ignore my admonition, this is now your responsibility,” Christie told reporters at a news conference.
Christie says many people in Atlantic City refused to evacuate – they are now stranded.

Christie is pissed at Atlantic City Mayor Langford for encouraging people to stay in shelters. Some folks can't get out. Nowhere to go. Duh.
