“So...what if the barges ignored the Coast Guard. Are they going to ‘open fire’ ?? Somebody needs to push this to the breaking point.”
If enough weaponry was produced to back up the words “Eff Off!” to the the Coasties I have no doubt in my mind that Obongo would give the order to fire.
Thinking about it again, it would be cool if Jindal called in enough state law enforcement to protect the barges and to tell the Coasties to take a hike so the barge workers can continue Operation Vacu-Suck along the coast of Louisiana.
I seriously doubt that, but even if he did, I can't imagine that any of the Coast Guard personnel would actually fire on a citizen militia.
