Govenor Blanco on WWL-TV: 'Stopping the looting is important, but the highest priority at this point is saving lives.'

A Jefferson Parish deputy sheriff, whose father just called the Glenn Beck radio program, said the looting gangs are using snipers to keep police at bay.

Sounds like the LA and NO administrations were right on top of this one, no?

It sounds like the French Quarter is basically lawless right now, one armed personel carrier is not going to cover an entire metro city.

Snipers are keeping police at bay????

What can possibly be left to loot?

I just saw that the Superdome bathrooms are wrecked and other damage...

I bet the Astrodome wouldn't offer its space if it knew what it was in for....

I heard that. It sort of makes one ashamed of what this country has created in some corners.
