Hostage Situation in New Orleans

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just a heads up, armed looters have taken over one of the medical centers in New Orleans where the injured people were being sent. They are holding the entire staff of the hospital hostage and firing at the national guard. An FBI SWAT team has just been flown in (from Baton Rouge I believe) and they are just now getting situated. I'm not sure of any online scanners that are up monitoring the state trs. That is where alot of traffic is going on at.

LSP Troop B is requesting immediate backup. Troopers, riot squad, and national guard. He said the crowd is triple the size it was earlier and they are about to be overrun.

The location is 610 and eleshafield(spelling?).

Should I make another thread that has events going on down there? Lots of stuff has gone on and half of it never makes it on the news or anything.

...Wait till the bodies really start piling up and half the city is in flames, then those same liberals will be begging for some government control, regardless of the cost.

Ha! We should live so long! When the bodies start piling up and half the city is in flames, then those same liberals will be blaming the government (particularly Bush) for not stepping in and taking control sooner.

And don't be surprised if the race pimps charge that racism was the reason why the government (particularly Bush) didn't step in sooner. And the MSM will gobble it up like candy.

OK, that was a *little* snarky. Sorry, I forgot my chill pill this morning...

There was a story in a paper called the Inquirer that backs up the photo....

I would, however, participate in an armed gang shooting anybody looting and terrorizing a hospital. Don't they have any law-abiding citizens with guns in that town?

That's what I'm trying to figure out.

Hell, when we've had to bugout in the past the first things that get secured in the vehicles are the family guns.

I think they have already cleaned those out (the ones they could get to).
 
I saw a report about pharmacies having to lock up their narcotics and turn them over to the DEA if they were not going to be able to use them within 48 hours. If that procedure was followed, there are no drugs, or very few in the local drug stores.

Give me a break. You know what I meant. Come in and have a presence there as law and order. I imagine they would stand exactly where the people are standing. None of this will stop until there is a law and order presence - as you full well know. They will not stop robbing on their own.

No, I know nothing other than what I have seen on TV non-stop for the last two days. Where do you get your info?

Looting the stores is one thing, but the med centers? I thought there was martial law in effect? They need stronger action. It's deteriorating fast.

Sleeper cell?
=====
That or sympathizers, or more of the hate America crowd turned violent, or simply a band of greedy criminals - regardless they are making themselves enemies, and should be dealt with accordingly.

Now are we FINALLY going to start shooting looters already?

What is it going to take?

Sleeper cell?
What the hell kind of "sleeper cell" do you think is about to storm a hospital?


I myself doubt this is a "sleeper cell" but to answer your question...I remember seeing a news report on the risk of terrorists getting into certain secured (or not so secured) areas of major hospitals because they have some sort of radio active stuff.

You can only fire if fired upon.

I think. They only shot a couple in the LA Riots...one guy made two passes to run down some Marines.

I believe its up to the governor of each state. Martial Law has to be declared.

Well you made the second post before I answered but I think anyone who believes some sleeper cell is in the New Orleans flood to attack a hospital is NUTS... and you can tell Ben Lurken I said so! ;-)

YMMV.

I wouldn't put anything past the møøslimbs. They have long since forfeited any right they may have had to claim membership in the human race.

Diva, your nephew and his comrades in blue are in my prayers as they go about their monumental task.
I've seen NO LE in action before. They are good and what is going on there now must just sicken them. This is "their" city. Don't be concerned about the two cops if they were stealing - it does not reflect back on the good guys in my book.

I always heard that NO didn't have a mafia, it's police force filled that function.

Where did you hear that or do you have a link? You could hear that about any large city - even NYC (gasp) But don't you think that now is not the time to spread rumors/gossip about the NO LE? They are putting their lives on the line more than ever right now.
