Three hundred murders BEFORE the storm.

What more do you need to know.

NO is the last place on earth anyone wants to visit.

NO will be back partying before long. Count on it.

The call it The Big Easy for a reason.

Three men came to Carolan's house asking about his generator and brandished a machete. He showed them his gun and they left.

Laughing at them, He showed them his gun..........

If it weren't for the canal break, there would have been very little damage in NO.

I was in NO for Camille and there was little damage after the storm. Small part of the airport flooding but most flights were leaving without problem. Electricity was restored pretty quickly too.

The canal has only recently been completed and perhaps the construction wasn't up to standards......I don't know.

True, the scum left the armed only to go seek out easier prey. If dead and left lay, (akin to draping coyotes over fences as warning to others of their ilk) they would have went nowhere and other innocents would have lived.

In such times, forewarned is forearmed, Kill them at the first threat, period.

Hmm, no mention of race.

Then why are you raising the issue? Black, white, green, or mauve, they seem to have their act together under the circumstances.

Hey Ronzo,
They should be crying like the spoiled government sugar tit assisted malcontents blaming President Bush/those Honkies.

You are correct liberals cry when they see stories like these of American people being self-sufficient.

""What do you say, I'm a survivor," John Carolan says with a laugh, thinking of the reality TV show. "Hey, give me the million bucks now.""

LMAO! Truely a Survivor!

The upcoming hunting season is as good a reason as any for American gun owners to pick up a spare box of ammo for each gun. Just in case.

The New Orleans chief of police was just on tv saying that 'orders' have been issued to evacuate everyone from town..


It will be interesting to see what happens when officials try to force-ably remove homeowners protecting their property.

These are the people the politicians want to disarm. Ray Nagin and NO police bureaucracy led the gun manufacturer lawsuit charge a couple of years ago.

Good and necessary post Mojo!


"With generators giving them power, food to last for weeks and several guns each for protection, the men are two of a scattered community holed up across the residential streets of the city's Garden District, a lush neighbourhood with many antebellum mansions."


God helps those who help themselves. Enough said.

Yep, good guys and looters. They both come in all colors.
Only difference is what's inside, not the outside.

I'm not in the situation so I can't stand in judgment of the prepared homeowner, but I think that inconveniencing the looters by making them find an unarmed generator owner is only a partial solution.

Well, he could do the unarmed generator owners a favor and gun down anyone who seems to pose a threat. That's a little further than I'd be prepared to go myself. Anyway, I'd be surprised if there were very many unarmed generator owners. If you've got the foresight to provide yourself with a generator, you've probably armed yourself as well. That's what I've done. In fact, I've got a lot of firearms and *two* generators. I figure if things get real bad, I'll want to arm and power a few neighbors so that we can defend an entire area.

Hackett has enough gas and food for a month. Carolan says they have weeks' worth of food and bug repellent, and he will siphon gas from left-behind cars to keep his electricity going

Anyone planning on a trip down there? I would be willing to send this guy supplies if someone is willing to haul them.

Anyone interested?

I already know what she will say. "If the looters didn't have guns they homeowners wouldnt need them, and besides the looters got them from abandoned homes in the first place."

Yeah, let's eliminate guns so that the mauraders don't have them. Then all we have to worry about is going hand-to-hand with gangs of machete-wielding crazoids looking for drugs, loot, or cash. Good thinking, Bradyites. Kum-bay-ah, y'all.
