Let Freedom Ring,
Can you say "Lawsuit"?
Listen to a replay of Tony Snow somehow today; He had a reporter on the scene with the military that were getting shot at (also audio). They got them out though.

What Constitution right?
Seizing guns just like jackboots.
Coming to a neighborhood near you anytime Congress gets the urge.
Where are NRA and GOA and Constituional lawyers?
If this were a lefty cause, they'd have their legal shock troops out there.
Hide your wepons, the government is coming to protect you.
The feral humans will be armed and those who are trying to guard the last of the earthly possessions won't. What sense does that make? More liberal idiocy. The police are going to find a lot more signature slit throats.
Sufficiently vague that we can't tell whether these corpses were the result of drowning in floodwaters or dehydrating in an attic waiting futilely for rescue while Neroette fiddled.
Official: Residents of New Orleans less trusted than those of Baghdad
Under what legal authority is this being done?
And will these weapons be returned to them? Fat chance.
"No one will be able to be armed. We are going to take all the weapons," Riley said.
On Thursday, in the city's well-to-do Lower Garden District, a neighborhood with many antebellum mansions, members of the Oklahoma National Guard seized weapons from the inhabitants of one home. Those who were armed were handcuffed and briefly detained before being let go...
Amendment II
A wll regulated militia, being necessart to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.
Some observations:
(1) the death toll in MS is something over 200. People in MS are far more efficient and did not have to deal with extended flooding, so their search and recovery is far more complete.
Additionally, MS actually received the full brunt of the storm. People in MS were far more likely to be drowned by the intial storm surge, to be crushed inside destroyed houses, etc. I would expect the highest natural death toll from this area and so far it's mercifully light compared to the sheer destruction of so many homes.
(2) We've seen exaggerations before. In the aftermath of 9/11, weeks later, people were still guessing that 25,000 were dead. It was only 11% of that number.
(3) Some of the stuff being said by news commentators makes absolutely no sense - i.e. that once the waters recede we'll find bodies at the bottom. Bodies float. That's why murderers weigh bodies down when they want to hide them in water.
Also, we keep seeing the makeshift grave of that poor woman named Vera again and again. We haven't seen any more than that one.
Also, we've seen the single body on I-10 again and again and again - not too many other corpses lying by the side of the road, just like there's not too many other makeshift graves.
I'm sure there are poor unfortunates dead inside some houses, but most people seem to have made it to roofs.
(4) The quickie funerals being described in the press are of very atypical cases - one of an NO policeman who fled the floods and shot himself in Baton Rouge, one of a man who refused to evacuate and was found dead in NO because he slept in the same room as his emergency generator and suffocated from carbon monoxide.
I'm hoping that all this talk is overblown.
bttt
This has gone beyond the ridiculous. Louisiana is a complete screw up as a state. That idiot governor is really pushing to use this disaster to force certain political outcomes.
Molon Labe you piece of filth...
Except the criminal's guns.
I can't help but believe that this city will be haunted.
It had such a "colorful" history as it is and now with all these people dying in such a horrible way...
