I saw someone from Saint Bernard last night, pleading for help. How frustrating it is to know that essential personnel are tied up fighting thugs, instead of being more able to help the people in outlying areas.
Some REMF is insisting that civilian drivers be replaced by military drivers with an escort. There will be a riot when they arrive.
Unless someone tells me differently, you will have to excuse me if I happen to believe what CHertoff said. It is ILLEGAL for the military to operate in a law enforcement function unless so mandated by the Governor.
And I've yet to hear she has mandated.
They have those laws in some states...
Don't forget to have a vehicle that is capable of bugging out - the advantage of some 4WD SUV and truck types.
Most SUVs are not offroad capable and therefore are not suitable. If you are single, consider a dual-purpose or offroad motorcycle.
Thank God they got out with their lives but so sorry to hear they lost everything.
The live shot of the Special Forces Sniper guy desperately running with his gear and rifle through the water on the tracks to try to save his brethren under fire is the most compelling sight I have ever seen - GODSPEED to this brother and success in his mission!!!
Just great. No on-site leadership to direct the police, FD, etc. Though from what I'm seeing it may be just as well -- give orders to the NG to establish order.
"To: ALASKA
True, but when the normally dry side of a levee is soaked, the integrity of the levee will be compromised. If the river levees are breached we would have an endless supply of water pouring into
New Orleans. Equilibrium would occur when the "bowl" is filled to river-level and starts running OUT...............
I would worry when they dewater the lake water, and the saturated conditions and increasing pressure from the river could cause a rupture of the river levees which are still intact, as far as we know."
Yup.
Communications..True..oh so true. And with the advent of computer chips, advanced electronics...there are electronic hand generated/solar items that encompass/contain all-in-one, most of the features you listed.
Ah...So it's the Congress fault...I knew it. Why have they waited so long to reconvene? Why haven't they toured NO?
*sarcasm so noted*
I don't know the hierarchy of rescue, but the parents with infants and children had better have been given first priority on those buses.
I don't think that is true.
>>>It is ILLEGAL for the military to operate in a law enforcement function unless so mandated by the Governor.
NO is turning into another Iraq. fgs!
When our own homeground gets so bad,
what does that say about what we are
dealing with here?
And I went thru Betsy and Camille without this BS.
I hope you're right.
But I have also read that the governor has NOT requested miltary help.
If this is true, she should be immediately removed from office for reasons of "incapacity".
This is sheer lunacy.
Question is, if she hasn't, why? Does she need to be hit in the head with a piece of lumber?
From what I've read, most of the Walmarts *did* evac their guns. They're getting most of the guns from other stores.
I know they planned the Astro Dome really well, but are they prepared for the drug addicts and alcoholics?
