Why don't you volunteer to walk into that hellhole of a city.
That's not my job. That's the Guard's or military's job, since the NOPD deserted.
There's too much political correctness involved in this. Order has to be regained. If that means shooting some people, then shoot some people. Do it on nationwide television, and do it until these thugs get the message.
Then drop in an overwhelming presence. If they do nothing but walk around and talk to people, at least they'll stop the helplessness and hopelessness that pervades the place now.
Who's directing this effort? I don't think anybody is, frankly. There's lots of ad hoc reactions from FEMA. Nothing proactive. Nothing at all.
The military needs to have provisions before they are deployed. Clean water, beds, food, medical facilities.
Even in a war zone there are supples at the rear that are sent up the line to the men.
This is a situation no one could have envisioned.
Port closed, roads blocked with debris, and the civilian population shooting at rescuers.
As I said earlier, NO is Little Somalia.
