perhaps some good might come out the whole world watching--maybe all of the potential muslim immigrants are watching this on Al-Jazeera and will decide to stay put instead of coming to live here!
Shoot to Kill. It is the fault of PCism that people are being robbed and raped. The softness of PCism has the system frozen. PCism is afraid to go out and kill the perps. They will be called racist and they are afraid that great sympathy will be poured out for the poor looters and rapists who lost their lives rather then the innocent victims, not unlike those who protest the death of a heinous killer when he/she is being executed but care not for the innocent babies murdered before or during birth. It is the same mentality and it is freezing authorities up from making the necessary decision to kill the looters, murderers and rapist. The decision must be made to kill anyone looting, raping or murdering on the spot in a situation like this. When Galveston was hit by a hurricane with mass devastation and there were looters they did what they had to do, they shot them and added them to the piles of dead to be burned. That was before PCism took over in this country. People knew to do what they had to so that mass anarchy would not occur. They protected the lives and property of the innocent rather then the guilty. These looters, rapists and murderers have become the enemy in a war against our country when they choose to take advantage of people after a horrific catastrophe like this. We shoot our enemies in a war situation with the intent to kill them.
If your focus is style over substance I guess that's a valid criticism. Just like calling the President a chimp because he stumbles over words.
ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's an interesting observation. Checking back in my comments this is the only other 'hurricane thread' that I have posted on and I only made one post and here is what I said there:
To: george wytheThis is a tragedy of nearly incomprehensible proportions. The Gulf coast is in great need of prayers and cash.

Anything else you'd like to share?
It's just strategery.
If you had read my other posts you would have found that that is exactly my point about shooting looters and thugs on sight.
Not according to the east coast 'O'Reilly' conservatives here. They got together and had a whole thread about it and decided that martial law does not suspend the Constitution.
Are you thinking of former justice Thurgood Marshall or some other Marshall?
Actually I was thinking of marshaling together the spell-checkers here and seeing if they wanted to start a petition to impeach the President for mispronunciation.
If I were out of control I would have been suspended or banned in a minute. No one here is special. Some just think they are.
Do you know what State Soveriegnty is?
" All that's missing are reports of ravenous wolves chewing on corpses."
I've been reading reports that packs of wolves have been sighted moving south from Montana and Wyoming.
Its the gators you have to worry about. But you know...voodoo is the city's main religion...so maybe they have something else in mind.
No, the Governor of the state initiates the marshal law plan that was legislatedby the Louisiana government. this is not covered in the Constitution of the United States. This is one of those things left to the states to legislate...which part of the Constitution guarrantees that right to the states?
Having stayed and survived a major hurricane myself, Hurricane Hugo, I was willing to accept personal responsibility for my decision and rely on myself for my survival. Those Katrina survivors who could have left but chose to stay must also accept some of the responsibility for their decision.
Even though I know they made the wrong decision, I have sent money to help and will send more money in the future.
My wife has aunts, uncles & cousins in New Orleans and we haven't been able to find out if they are alive or dead. We will offer to let them stay in our home if we can get in touch with them. We wouldn't be going through this torment if they had evacuated.
Again, I'm sorry.
" This is what we get when me hire men-without-gonads to protect us."
The only person who can order the La National Guard to shoot to kill looters is the Governor.
She is a left wing Politically Correct B$tch. You are right, she has no gonads.
President Bush under our constitution can't send American Military in to stop the riots as per our constitution.
Points to ponder:
While some people are screaming about “government's mishandling”, and making excuses for the looters’ despicable behavior, think about this:
1.The National Weather Service gave people ample warning of the impending disaster. They had days to evacuate, but for whatever idiotic reasons they concocted, decided to stay. Don’t give me that crap about “no transportation”. Rent a U-Haul, pack your valuables, and GET OUT. The only people that had a valid reason are the handicapped and infirmed. However, they comprise a relatively small portion of the population. The rest don’t have an excuse.
2.Setting up disaster relief centers and command and control takes time. FEMA was prepared; the “blame Bush” contingent in New Orleans was not. Even so, how was FEMA, the Red Cross, or local law enforcement supposed to set up operations in the middle of a giant lake?
3.The looters revealed very early on that most of them are career thugs to begin with and are using this tragedy as an outlet to continue their crime sprees. C’mon people. They’re taking television sets. Where in the hell are they going to put them? Where are they going to plug in all the appliances they’re stealing?
4.New Orleans is just one of the Hurricane magnets in the Gulf area. The construction and re-inforcement of levees won't do much to hold back the tidal wave of water on a city that's about 5 feet below sea level.
5. If New Orleans put as much effort into personal responsibility, helping each other, and unifying the community as they do looting, blaming the government, and making asses out of themselves in the media spotlight, they’d be a lot better off.
You are exactly right, it would be an act of war upon the state. the State has to take care of itself in reality, the Federal Government constitutionally has its "hands" tied. Though Help will come unconstitutionally...
