New Orleans in Anarchy With Fights, Rapes
By ALLEN G. BREED, Associated Press Writer 55 minutes ago
NEW ORLEANS - New Orleans descended into anarchy Thursday as corpses lay abandoned in street medians, fights and fires broke out, cops turned in their badges and the governor declared war on looters who have made the city a menacing landscape of disorder and fear.
"They have M-16s and they're locked and loaded," Gov. Kathleen Blanco said of 300 National Guard troops who landed in New Orleans fresh from duty in Iraq. "These troops know how to shoot and kill, and they are more than willing to do so, and I expect they will."
Four days after Hurricane Katrina roared in with a devastating blow that inflicted potentially thousands of deaths, the fear, anger and violence mounted Thursday.

I'd vote for Blanco as the absolute worst Governor of all time.
Wow!
When guns are outlawed, only the government and outlaws will have guns.
My gosh, that's quite embarassing, isn't it?
because the rest of it was discussed in a previous thread earlier today. The few two paragraphs were updated an hour ago and posted on Yahoo's frontpage. Thanks for asking.
It's about time!! Those people are criminals and they are responsible for many deaths already. Take 'em out!
Oh ok .. thanks for the response
Submitted for your approval, I give you the Southern version of Patty Murray, Gov. Kathleen Blanco.
I can just hear her tuff guy voice saying that too .. FOFL!!
For anyone who wants an idea of what's going on in NO, listen to WWL, 870 AM. They're not streaming on the net, but you can pick it up in most of the eastern and central US after dark.

Oh yeah Gov. 300 troops. That is REALLY going to help. How about this Gov Blanco. GET THE HELL out of the way. If you lack the political guts to do what NEEDS to be done, Let W do it FOR you.
Interesting how liberal panty wastes (misspelling intended) like Governor "Rambette" here, wail and moan and cry about the US acting warlike against Islamofascists, but then use this kind of rhetoric on citizens of their own state. Not that these looters don't deserve it, but liberals are completely hypocritical idiots that are forced to drastic measures in the end, to solve the catastrophes they inevitably create.
In a more perfect world, scum like this governor would be parachuted in to ground zero, to face the consequences of their own rank stupidity and corruption.
Rest assured he'll have a corner all to himself.
I'm pretty sure the law in Louisiana is the same as it is in Florida. Anyone can prevent a rape with the use of deadly force.
She should have given this order on day ONE. Not FIVE days later.
And if they actually do you can count on Gov Blanco and the Mayor Nagin to be right behind you. LOL
Your link doesn't take me to this story.
