On the other thread there were a lot of inappropriate comments, and so they called for Sgt. Sam Katt of the Viking Kitties and he nailed 'em.

True, how sorrowfully true. Paging Walter Cronkite.
I think they pulled that one too.
I don't mind being called an a-hole... I'm sure other freepers don't mind being called an a-hole either. Call em as ya see em :)

They were originally saying it was confirmed by the Corps.
I hope that liar at the ACOE has his/her butt kicked.
Just when I think that this cannot become any more of a cluster F than it already is, something like this happens!
Words fail me.
Surely they weren't dressed like or behaving like thugs.
Were they not even challenged by police first and ordered to drop their weapons? This just doesn't sound right, but then again, we are talking about the NO police dept. They will be given a pass by the media.
Thank God it wasn't the Nat. Guard who did the shooting. Prayers for the families of those shot IF they were workers and not thugs.
I pray this is not true.
This rush to report first, really has to stop.
This is a horridly dangerous situation without MSM adding to it with unconfirmed reports.
Would it still be "racist" if we "cheerlead" for the NO Police for taking out someone who was trying to murder the Corp of Engineers contractors?
"Did he fire six shots or only five? Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself a question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk? ?"
LOL! Ya never know around here when tensions are high! Just as well to put it in!
yep.
If the latest report is true, and the contractors are safe, my bad. Maybe the NOPD has become professional since I was there.
The other thread was Super Zotted...
Yessir, prematurely. Lost but not forgotten.
I've been calling for martial law since Aug 30th. It was all predictable.
But I'm not GWB.
On behalf of the whole world we accept your apology. ;)
Welcome to FR, it's only the best place to be on the planet.
I don't remember what you were arguing, but the news we're getting now is that the original version of the story was total nonsense. Seems only one person was killed, which is a lot less strange and alarming than the six people first reported.
Knock off the cat in hat photos, some of us are dial-up and actually want to read the thread.....
Guilty as charged.
