Plz pull as this is already handled on the side bar, at least that is what you told me when I first posted story.

Oh my. I hope this is a mistake.

These local idiots are intimidated by looters and thugs and then kill contract engineers working for the United States. There's something called the Insurrection Act which allows the Feds the federalize the whole operation down in New Orleans, and now would be excellent time to do so.

UPDATE: The contractors were shot at, not killed. The person shooting at them was killed. [per FOX]

Good Lord! WHat the hell is going on down there?? get those cops off the street--they are in over their heads.

[dts32041]

Clarification, contractors shot at by bad guys, Police took out the bad guys.

Just when I think that this cannot become any more of a cluster F than it already is, something like this happens!
Words fail me.
Surely they weren't dressed like or behaving like thugs.
Were they not even challenged by police first and ordered to drop their weapons? This just doesn't sound right, but then again, we are talking about the NO police dept. They will be given a pass by the media.

Thank God it wasn't the Nat. Guard who did the shooting. Prayers for the families of those shot IF they were workers and not thugs.

I pray this is not true.
