Hostage Situation in New Orleans

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just a heads up, armed looters have taken over one of the medical centers in New Orleans where the injured people were being sent. They are holding the entire staff of the hospital hostage and firing at the national guard. An FBI SWAT team has just been flown in (from Baton Rouge I believe) and they are just now getting situated. I'm not sure of any online scanners that are up monitoring the state trs. That is where alot of traffic is going on at.

LSP Troop B is requesting immediate backup. Troopers, riot squad, and national guard. He said the crowd is triple the size it was earlier and they are about to be overrun.

The location is 610 and eleshafield(spelling?).

Should I make another thread that has events going on down there? Lots of stuff has gone on and half of it never makes it on the news or anything.

These cretins are probably after drugs.....I say give them what they want. Just make sure it's a lethal dose.

Fing lotters i saw that crap first hand in the rodney king riots sick bastards they should shoot them every last one of them

[Rummyfan]

They need to start shooting these people. I hate to say that but they should havae been doing that sooner.

If the report is true I agree. True devolution of society going on....

[SuziQ]

Hard to know why they'd do this.

Drugs

[Just mythoughts]

Bump

[truthkeeper]

You have got to be kidding, have people around here actually been defending looters??? I've been swamped with work and haven't been able to FReep much this week.

If so, to what depths have we sunk?

[maineman]

Medical Center = Drugs.

[TXBubba]

All looters spotted stealing anything but food & water should be shot on sight.

You got that right!

The MSM will go out of its way not to show the race of these guys....

[HairOfTheDog]

let's wait for the freeper looter apologist brigade to chime in!

Way to distort the issue. There's been some useful discussion about survival related to ~some~ of the looting. No one is an apologist for this kind of crap.

[txhurl]

It's true that revolution is only three meals away.

[antaresequity]

Anger?

Thats an interesting reaction.

My reaction is that of curiosity and interest. We all know that humans are by an large a savage warlike creature. They have been since the dawn of 'man'.

What you are witnessing is the real face of man. Its the same dark ugly face of man displayed in the Middle East on a daily basis.

Pretty hard to ignore or deny the facts...

[Salvation]

Maybe we need to recall the mayor!

Why is marshal law and curfews in position for everyone!

If you are on the streets you are a target!

[al baby]

Give them some speed and exlax

[tallhappy]

It's amazing what people will do once their stash of Crack is gone.

Actually, yes. You nailed it.

[plain talk]

eleshafield(spelling?) = probably Elysian Fields?

[ArkansasBushfan]

Houston had better call out the Texas Rangers to gaurd the bunch of criminals being bussed to Texas.

[Calvin Locke]

Hard to know why they'd do this.

As talk host Howie Carr put it to a caller: "They're not doing for the penicillin."

More from that site:

UPDATE: The SWAT team that was handling the hostage situation is going to be dropped off to assist with the growing crowd.

I'm going to pick up an audio cable in a few hours and set up a live stream tonight."

There are no words to describe the anger I am feeling at this moment.

Same here from Texas(BSEE 1989, Tulane).
