I didn't say it has "no merit," I said that you and I don't have enough information to determine whether or not there's any merit to the idea. We don't know, for example, whether the shooters are concentrated enough, or obvious enough, or numerous enough, to be amenable to a "shoot them by the truckload" solution.
The media reports about shots fired are probably true -- but we (you, I, and anybody else on this thread) lack enough information to get any sense of the scale of the problem, or the area over which it's spread.
well, the scale is apparently enough to halt ALL rescue and relief operations. no boat rescues, no buses leaving the superdome, etc.

what do you mean, has no merit? there are plenty of reports today about these thugs taking shot at boats, buses, helicopters. are those all lies?

I'd take exception to that, but only about a third of what I have has been corroborated by the MSM. Personally, since the corroborated stories are from the same source as the uncorroborated ones, I'll take them to the bank, hence my continuing presence here after 25 straight hours, but with FReepers getting the boot for "speculation", I'll let it pass...for now.
I thik what you may not be seeing is the exponential curve, unfolding over time, approaching, if not surpassing the "knuckle".
