We must find out the root causes.

That's easy, look at who runs the state. Nuff said.

Martial law has been declared, if this is true they should make a public example of him to deter others.

These looters, thugs, rapists, murderers, scum of the earth, and just plain ol' loonies are making the U.S.A. look like a third world country.

Frankly I'm sick of it.

As an ex-Social worker I will explain it to you: These people are lazy, uneducated,drug addicted scumbags who are used to everyone making excuses for why they are nothing but primal preditors-under taxpayers care.

America is codependent when it comes to the inner city thugs,and now we reap the whirlwind.

From my understanding, there is no clause or law in the State of Louisiana which calls for Martial Law. It simply does not exist.

So this become a federal issue, who CAN issue Martial Law in a specific area during a national emergency.

I would suspect this is one of the reasons why Congresss needs to be there in 24 hours.

It's time to impeach the governor and for Bush to strip LA officials of all power and take charge!

Yeah, that'll happen.

Bush didn't even have to stones to veto tens of billions in obvious pork or defend the First Amendment. And all those would have taken was the stroke of a pen.

He might do it, though, even though it'd be unconstitutional; he's got no problem with expanding Big Stupid Government.

The citizens of Louisiana need to deal with their own idiot politicians, if there are any lampposts left standing.

This is starting to sound like a research project or training exercise for a few people with an agenda.

Liberals live by the credo of ZERO TOLERANCE, when it applies to little school girls with aspirin or little boys with paper guns.

Lets see if the liberal establishment in LA calls for a severe crackdown on this stuff...before total anarchy sets in.

The sad thing is this: these people had this lawless mentality long before the hurricane blew in. The scenes of so called "survival" are a joke in many cases--these people are stealing everything they can get their hands on! What are they going to do with it? It sounds to me like these people are showing what has gone wrong in America with the liberals in charge. We owe them everything.

Anyone see the movie "Mad Max" recently? This sure seems like a smaller version....possibly to grow to a larger version.

I also agree with orders to shoot to kill on these idiots. Good ridance to bad rubbish.

The President should make a statement that anyone attempting to interupt rescue and recovery operations will be caught and hanged and left hanging

No, he should say we will NOT attempt to apprehend anyone looting or disrupting rescue operations -- we will shoot to kill with absolutely no tolerance.

As I said yesterday, they NEVER should have let looters get hold of rifles and pistols like this. The governor and the major are total morons.

Any idiot knows that mob action and looting grow worse if they are not firmly handled, as soon as possible.

But the very least they should have done was to lock up the weapons in all those abandoned stores. There were riots last time in the stadium. They expected looting and violence again, since they searched everyone going into the dome for weapons. Why didn't they lock up the weapons?

I am sorry, I am so guilty.

It's my fault, as a European-American, that non European Americans are acting this way.

"What will be the excuse now?"

The same as the excuse used by liberals when their policies fail: They had good intentions.

There are people who have been assaulted now who wouldn't have been assaulted.
There are women who have been raped who wouldn't have been raped.
There are people murdered that would be alive today.

And there are people still stranded who would have been rescued if the sitation had been handled better.

It's obvious to all but the handwringers: You get more of the bahaviors you reinforce. By failing to stop looting when it started, you reinforced it. Their reward was profiting from lawlessness.

I also made that remark. Those without morals will take over...at least until the good people unite against them.

I'm seriously thinking about buying a gun and learning to use it now because of this.
