"wtf is wrong with you. reports have been coming in over wscanners for 4 nights. It's been televised on Brown's "program tonight when a NOPD station was under fire last night, FNC had video of video of a firefight on this morning. The Coast Guard had a presser regarding pulling out private boats for SAR today.
You prove your point with some facts."
My proof is that no one has been sniped
Boy - I'd hate to take these rescuers to opening day of doe season in Pennsy- you wanna hear some shots zipping overhead.
There could be people in NOLA who belong to a terrorist cell and are using this catastrophe to shoot at the rescue workers. It wouldn't surprise me one bit. Also, I'll bet there are many people who are mentally ill and don't have their meds or aren't taking them correctly. Who knows what they may be thinking. I doubt the shots are coming from your basic criminal type, jmo.
Just a minor change - your proof is that there have been no reports of people being sniped. You may be right.
span, I don't know you and I very seldom get drawn into personal arguments on FR. But you are making the most bizarre assertions re the sniper situation. Obviously, these gangsta snipers are not trained marksmen - but that's not the point - they are shooting frequently, hitting their targets sometimes, and killing occassionally. What more do you want? The gangsta snipers are a real part of the landscape of this week in N.O. And they have cost innumerable lives and suffering because of the delay in rescue/relief operations they have caused. I've proven you wrong. Others have proven you wrong as well. Please let it go, buddy.

IIRC NOPD a few years ago conducted an experiment and fired 700 rounds of blanks in various locations.....nobody called the police to report gunshots....
