"A "furious" Blanco also warned that the city's stretched police officers would clear affected areas of looters. "We beg the people to get out." she said.
We are so inconsiderate, we will not let them load it on the buses as they leave for Texas.
Hey Ricky Boy, we have taken enough, give the rest to DC, they will feel much more at home there.
It's close to anarchy in places. Total free for all and now the gas companies are joining in and participating in larceny.
Sadly, the inept and hapless Gov Blanco is the definition of a Liberal Democrat who has been mugged.
I appreciate her appeal for people to pray to God. That alone must have invoked the wrath of the ACLU and GLAAD.
She is also not a supporter of abortion on demandyou have to give her credit for that.
But, she also is accused of stealing the election and empowering the corrupt Louisiana Democrat machine. Moreover, she is not a leader.
She is constantly crying. We dont need that. We need LEADERSHIP.
The time for mourning is coming, but it is not today.
But it is clear that she is out of her league here. This disaster calls for Gen Patton or Gen Schwarzkopf, not Cindy Sheehan II.
Let's just make things clearer.....instead of Looters....use the word Democraps.
This is getting really scary. I say bring in special forces...hell something...
When you hear from the doctors, nurses, and ambulance drivers how terrorized they are while trying to evacuate sick babies, you know how low these dregs of society are. This is what happens to a culture where the kids know gangsta rap lyrics instead of the Ten Commandments. The government schools' war on Christianity reaps these shameful results. Save the port of NO and forget the rest of this sick city.
Have y'all seen the interviews where the "refugees" are blaming everyone else for their hardship? One said "Why have you not gotten us out of here" a proud looter said "When you've been oppressed by society for so long, it's our right to take from society". It's fairly humiliating that these are Americans. They could have evacuated like everyone else did. That's what you get when you create a society with an entitlement mindset.
really easy. Bring in some Pave Lows with the MiniGuns.
after a MG sends 3000 rounds at them in a one minute burst, I don't think they will fire anymore.
Where is the sniper, in a crowd? By himself? I'd think the crowd would grab anyone who did that and toss him into the surrounding waters.
Martial law. These thugs won't be laughing when the army and Marines open up on them.
I just cannot BELIEVE this!!
Why the H are they shooting at the choppers?
Seems they'd want everyone else out of NO so that they could REALLY do some looting.
I guess the thugs want nobody evacuated so that they will have folks to terrorize when they've grown bored with stealing.
The shark on Canal st. is just TOO much!
I wonder if that is true.
How many other cells exist in major cities waiting for a opportunity like this too arise? Planned in advance to hit the sporting goods, gun and department stores to build an arsenal.
I think the shots rang out and someone said, "I'm not give up my 50 yard line seats".
It's always harder to regain rather than to maintain control. Being hesitant to use force is not always the best answer in the long run.

But I thought these looters were peaceful people looking only for food /sarcasm.
Methinks this could be a preview of what will happen in a substantially massive terror strike on a major city. My advise: Go out and buy lots of guns and ammunition. There is a very large criminal underclass lurking just below the surface that will need to be eradicated.
Where's Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and the rest of the poverty pimps? They should be on the ground in New Orleans helping restore order.
