your right, reading is a skill, that you might want to try.
I said THUG Police (and I can speak from experience having LIVED in New Orleans and surrounding parishes...how about you?)
Sorry, many people who should have had guns...DID till the Police and National Guard went door to door TAKING THEM.
Iy might not have happened in YOUR neighborhood, but it DID happen in alot of them, and I know this first hand.
As for your nephew, thank him for his service, I didn’t say the National Guard were thugs, they were just...following orders.
“...speak from experience having lived in New Orleans and surrounding parishes, how about you?”
WTH do you think I’m talking about? Again, reading comprehension is a skill, one which YOU might oughta work on. My post was ABOUT what happened in my NO neighborhood, and you ask, “how about you?”?!
“...police and National Guard went door to door taking them...I know this first hand...”
Do tell. Really. Please elaborate. Your guns were confiscated? Your neighbors had their guns confiscated? Specifics, please. Internet links not accepted. I want to hear YOUR “first hand” experiences.
“I didn’t say the National Guard were thugs.”
Oh but you did! You lumped them together with NOPD!
But thanks for backtracking.
“They were just ...following orders.”
Their orders were to protect residents from looters— to apprehend, and if necessary, to shoot looters.
You lived in the area? Then surely you are aware of the “you loot, we shoot” signs everywhere in the aftermath of every hurricane. The NG was sent in to back us up—to stop the looting.
As for the NOPD being thugs—many, not all, are effectively in cahoots with the drug dealers, all the time.
