Whoever, except in cases and under circumstances expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress, willfully uses any part of the Army or the Air Force as a posse comitatus or otherwise to execute the laws shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.
That's what they're waiting for...Congress. Oh, great. Now we know everything will happen with lightening speed. /sarc.
Sadly, some of those young able men are gang members adding to the misery. All the more reason to get the rest out fast. And good they're sending in the Delta Forces and Natl Guard.
AGP, the government has taken charge now.
YES, thank you, WWL!!
"To: ingodwetrust; floriduh voter
Rescue workers can not safely evac when they are under arms fire.
Congress is convening an emergency session."
Day late and a dollor short. This is decided in the next 24 hours.
Whatever's in the pipeline or on ready alert, (fingers crossed, George, don't let me down) is it.
It is public information....I am posting what I hear...there is no power in NO, no looters are going to hear it. If anything, the MSM will report on it.
Loose Lips . . . this is life and death stuff . . .
WWL saying now that fema is nowhere to be found, from many sources.
Ooops.
On the other hand, it's not going to help them - no internet feed, remember?
Rush said Hillary wants immediate hearings on gas price-gouging. That should help. (Do I need a /sarcasm tag?)
Don't be dense. You never know who picks up this stuff, especially the crappy media.
"And the DRAFT RIOTS in NY during the Civil War were what and the Orders to shoot looters after the Big Frisco quake in 1900 and the Chicago Fire was the last 30 years ?"
No, but, helpfully, they do lend additional credence to my original point about the fallen nature of humanity. Thanks.
I think the NO unrest, however, is directly attributable to the public policies of the last thirty years which have served to loosen the moral restraints of religion and strengthen the pull of the basest elements of fallen human nature.
That's silly. Do you believe ANYONE near that hospital is going to learn ANYTHING from Free Republic?
You vastly overestimate who reads FR and particularly this thread.
Burbank - you have my ultimate respect - do what you think is right - personally, I'm backing off on this one -
I don't see anything in Posse Comitatus that prohibits "rescue" activity.
These soldiers would be sent in simply to secure the area and get those people out of there.
They're not going in there to "arrest" anyone or conduct other "police activities".
If some armed thug wants to interfere, it would be simple self-defense for a Marine to take him out.
After all, even the reporters from the MSM have armed escorts on the scene.
Coming from NOLA, the city that failed to prepare.
