They've got a right to a 325 pound Miranda with a shotgun pointed at them. That's a miranda right I can get behind.

Sorry, no real link. This was just announced on WWL TV live. It's an attempt to deal with the gangs. It's too dangerous in New Orleans to do anything else according to Dennis Woltering.

So that still doesn't explain what they are going to do about looting. If you have martial law with no threat of being shot or thrown in jail what's the point?
To: Syco
We'll know their serious when the "Looters will be Shot" signs go up, ala San Francisco, '06.

I just heard it too. Good thing there is a Rat leading the city. The ACLU will still go ape SH!T :-) It's about time though. What a waste of manpower...

Martial Law? What will the mayor use to back it up with?
He needs an Infantry Division or two. Where would he get em?

During the height of hurricane Hugo, the Charleston Chief of Police gained notoriety for transmitting a short message to his officers regarding looters: "We don't have room left in the jails for looters, don't arrest them, just beat them."

About time. The animals have tried to take control of the zoo.
I've always enjoyed N.O. My daughter and I visited in mid-March, as she interviewed for Tulane. Glad to say she's in a 7-year M.D. program, not at Tulane. Doesn't have to take the MCATs and doesn;t have to be up to her tush in polluted water.
I;m supposed to attend a 5-day pharmaceutical convention in N.O. in late Feb 2006. The hotel we;re supposed to reside, the Hyatt near the Superdome, looked like a war zone and I bet 90% of the windows are blown out. Looks like we'll be in Vegas this year. Boy, the convention business is really going to suffer.
Hope Antoine's reopens. I've been eating there for 30 years. Great baked Alaska (probably the last place on earth to get baked Alaska).

Just to add some info that was on MSNBC, the mayor said that they are pulling 1500 cops from search and rescue and putting them on the streets.

At word of this the ACLU is sending it's emergency team to the area immediately.
The mayor really couldn't do this any earlier...he didn't have enough people to enforce it. Better late than never.
They have to protect relief supplies and equipment now.

Well, the mayor cannot declare martial law--he does not have the authority; not to mention he commands no military forces. He also does not have the authority to suspend any part of the Constitution. Perhaps he is declaring some sort of state of emergency that provides more powers to his police or maybe he is relaying someone else's announcement.
