Catch the MS Guard?
"If you are in the business of theft, this may not be the best time to ply your trade."
MS National Guard, Go Guard!
Welcome :)
We understand what he was saying....the loons will not get it... LOL ... Thank God there are still some real men running the show... Too Bad Louisiana elected an idiot...
We knew the Dome would probably endure some damage, but how horrible that 25' long sections were ripped open in the roof and it's now vulnerable to the wind and rain inside. Can you imagine what being in that place right now with 24,000+ other scared wet individuals is like? Prayers for survival and sanity.
Heard it. You got it word for word.
oh great..cue the SCLC...watch race become the issue with looters..excessive force...just shoot them and get it over with.
MISSISSIPPI CODE OF 1972
As Amended
SEC. 97-17-65. Looting.
(1) A person commits looting when he knowingly without authority of law or of the owner enters any home or dwelling, or upon any premises of another, or enters any commercial, mercantile, business or industrial building, plant or establishment, in which a normal security of property is not present by virtue of a hurricane, fire or vis major of any kind or by virtue of a riot, mob, or other human agency and obtains or exerts control over or injures or removes property of the owner.
(2) Any person who commits looting shall be guilty of a felony and, upon conviction, such person shall be punished by imprisonment in the penitentiary for a period not to exceed fifteen (15) years or by a fine not to exceed ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00), or both such fine and imprisonment.
(3) The fact that a person may be subject to prosecution under this section shall not bar his prosecution or punishment under the statutes relating to larceny or burglary, or under any other statute or ordinance to the extent that such would otherwise be permitted in the absence of this section.
That being said, the NG general that just spoke made it pretty clear that there would be "no quarter" for looters. That is DAMN direct talk in these PC times.
Semper Fi
I don't know. Anyone know if people around Keesler AFB still have these bumper stickers on their cars, "Keep America Beautiful, Kill An Airman?"
You can shoot a fleeing felon in MS cant you?
Yep, he slithered North.
Exactly.
People survive the storms, but get bitten by snakes!
MSM just seem to slide over the snake problems.
Well, we can just about always say that about Louisiana...:-)
If Barbour is this strident in his speech... I take that as MS having suffered pretty bad in this storm.
Here's the Wiki on it:

Don't tell Laz.
thank you! I knew it was near Greenwood but didn't know where Greenwood was! Wheeww.
Regarding the SPR and Chevron, I read that somewhere on the internet last year when oil was spiking up on price manipulation just before the election. It was probably either on MSN Investor or Bloomberg.com. This was a news article talking about how the SPR was still being filled and what the decision criteria are for an oil release from the SPR. The article gave some background on the SPR and said the oil was delivered to the SPR by Chevron as payment for oil leases. I may have it saved on my old computer, but you might try a Google search on Chevron and Strategic Petroleum Reserve (...a suggestion at the risk of belaboring the obvious....lol).
