So am I, but which is it? One killed, or five? The media have made a total hash of this.
What?....these were NO police, they are answerable to the Mayor. What in the he!! has Bush got to do with it?
says he is smart enough to put a qualifying clause 'if x then y' when making his comment. if x were met, would you agree with y as he has described it?
It appears that this is the real story, and I am so relieved. Like you, I was just horrified to think that innocent people on the way to help were killed. It would have been just too terrible in a week of terrible stories.
This should be a lesson to EVERYBODY to "withhold fire", so to speak, until all the facts are in.
The so-called "Wild West" is mostly myth. Check out http://www.perc.org/publications/opeds/oldwest_myths.php
Their families probably were already worried about their going in to N.O......wonder if they heard this on the news, too....they must be shaking with relief that this isn't true....
Someone on another thread yesterday or so coined 'Cluster Foxtrot' for use in polite company.

Ya know, sometimes contract engineers repairing a levy can get violent.
It always does. Rove is at it again.
OH..I had not thought of that..
Everyone who has anyone helping down there must be on edge.
This just confirms that I need to WAIT for other source confirmation. Just relax afnamvet and think good thoughts and pray for the victims of this tragedy.
thankfully, still no AP reports of zombies.
I heard Trent Lott smacked him down..
Brand Spankin new, lurked off and on for years.
I herewith post an official apology to NOPD.
I retract my statement about non-union contractors...
Oh my God. :(
Have the *police* actually shot any looters,rapists,,the real criminals,,,,or did they leave that to the military while they kill the good guys?????
Eight ACLU lawsuits for racially motivated use of excessive force comin' up.
6 killed, then 6 engineers killed, then 1 thug killed....confusion.
