"Is this even legal?"

Is physically removing property owners from their homes legal?

I don't believe so, and the judge on Fox news said yesterday, that forced removal under these circumstances is NOT. (no martial law declared, no eminent domain issue and no legal condemnation of properties) allows home owners to stay if they chose. The disarmament issue is even worse. I understand trying to disarm the thugs with stolen weapons, but law abiding citizens who chose to stay and protect their lives and property should be left alone. If they chose to stay behind and wallow in toxic sludge, they have a constitutional right to do so and with a 2nd amend. guarantee.

Nowadays bureaucrats believe any pronouncement they make has the force of law and are willing to send armed men against the citizenry to prove it. What's worse the majority of the citizenry believes them.

I predict major legal trouble over this issue alone. Of course, LA is dirt poor anyway, so a lawsuit victory will be pretty hollow. A very, very bad precedent, especially after the governments of NO and LA have spectacularly displayed to the world that they are completely unable to protect their citizens (or citizens of other countries, for that matter) in a crisis, which is exactly when protection is needed.

BTW has anyone heard that guns are selling like hot cakes right now?

I was certain that gun-grabbers would lay low for years after this crisis. Apparently not.
