I know they are being shot at. I am responding to other posters who seem to agree with me. This is a disaster of biblical proportions, wouldn't you agree? I think it's appropriate to call our U.S. Representatives. Remember, there were guns pointed at people in Pinellas Park but they were pointed at us by LE. Nobody wants to get shot. Nobody wants to die on the steps of the convention center either.
There should be a nationwide disaster law mandating that Wal-Mart and all gun sellers secure their inventory in storage crates to be locked and moved to police lots outside of the city, to prevent looting of weapons.
In the Superdome, along with separating the fit from the special needs population, I think they should have set up an emergency detox area for all the addicts who were hours away from drug/alcohol withdrawals, paranoia, panic and seizures so that they could be medically subdued to prevent violence against the medical personnel administering meds to the hospital evacuees.
