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.
Sleeper cell?
BTTT
We are officially entering "Lord of the Flies" territory.
There are no words to describe the anger I am feeling at this moment.
Still, now needs be shoot on sight.
let's wait for the freeper looter apologist brigade to chime in!
"You don't know how you'd react in a situation like they are in!"
Yes I do - I'd help out, not be a savage.
That darned Rumsfeld, they just didn't prepare for for the aftermath... oh wait, wrong crisis, never mind.
Fenceless Zoo
All looters spotted stealing anything but food & water should be shot on sight.
I can't believe this.
This is ridiculous. The drue depravity of man is showing. This damage is much worse that I thought.
Good Lord.
bttt
What the hell!?
Why?
Why take hospital personel hostage!??
What assholes.
It's amazing what people will do once their stash of Crack is gone.
Bump for later check. Anyone got another source for this?
They need to start shooting these people. I hate to say that but they should havae been doing that sooner.
Unbelieiveable
