Was it a press conference? If not, how was it spun?
Go check WWLTV, live stream site. Let me know, I will be digging elsewhere.

No, it was a report on the ABC nightly news. I was so shocked that I didn't get a take on the "spin". They weren't making these people out to be bad or anything. Just stating what was being done. They showed people living in historic old Mansions...real pretty ones. They also showed some more middle class areas where folks were refusing to leave. But that was after the gun portion of the story.

They showed the Nat'l Guards walking down the DRY streets in the old neighborhood. Typical Southern wide street with large trees and houses sitting farther back from the road. They said they had set up a "command post" in a local church. Had to leave a note because they couldn't locate the pastor. Then they talked to some of the guardsman who said it was weird doing this in America. One was named Fred Bible and he is part of the Oklahoma Nat'l Guard. Got my attention because I'm originally from Oklahoma and the name along with the church command post was interesting.
