One reason for this is that the ADULTS ARE IN CHARGE.

[ClearCase_guy]

Should that be "sodden return to order"?

[popdonnelly]

The adults have arrived.

New Orleans' sudden return to order

DIMS: "This cannot be BUSH'S FAULT"

[BenLurkin]

Since last Monday, Campiere has sat up, gun by his side, listening to gunshots popping on his street, and the yelps and hollers of looters, all the while praying they would leave him and his wife, Lorri, alone."

That 'desperation' the libs keep mentioning sure got an early start.

[agere_contra]

I'm an accountant, not a looter!

BANG!

[TAdams8591]

Thank God they are getting things under control and now that they're ,rather quickly too, I might add.

God Bless all of them and prayers for the overwhelming, unpleasant and difficult job which faces them.

[CheneyChick]

Soon after, three Texas lawmen rode down Rue Dauphin on horseback

I still don't understand the loud silence of the vacant N.O. police.

[talleyman]

The next to arrive will be the ACLU - to represent the looters.

[TAdams8591]

Should read, "now that they're there"....

[r9etb]

I still don't understand the loud silence of the vacant N.O. police.

They're letting Nagin run interference in the "It's the Feds' fault, not mine" gambit.

BANG!

The guy was really a lawyer but he thought it was safer to lie about it.

[Redbob]

"...three Texas lawmen rode down Rue Dauphin on horseback to inspect a reported break-in, a sight that couldn't have been more welcome to Campiere, and one that signified the sudden, and perhaps belated, return of order to the Big Easy."

Perhaps we should just make Louisiana a territory of Texas, like Puerto Rico is to the U.S.

A few decades under Ranger authority might run the scum clean out of New Orleans.

[Recovering Hermit]

I'm sure that this couldn't have anything to do with Bush's arrival.

"I tell you, I've been terrified," he says, packing a holstered gun and wearing a Harley T-shirt. "I'm actually not a tough guy."

He was armed and protected his wife. He took action in spite of fear. This, my children, is real courage. I want to buy that man a beer!

The only thing that police force was good for was graft and pulling drunks off Bourbon Street.

doncha know....they are too stressed out and need a free vacation to Las Vegas......

what a bunch of p#ssies..

What NO needed was somebody to slap the crap out of them and say, "Cowboy up, wipe your a@#, change your underwear, grab some coffee and move out."

But instead they got the typical pseudo-psycho babble about 'stress'....well DUH!!! you just lived through a huge disaster. People die, people look to a LEO as an authority to serve and protect... It's time to earn the paychecks fellers... drop the donuts, drop the stuff you were stealing from Wal-Mart and do this weird thing called...."YOUR JOB!!!"

If you look at the cry baby Mayor, cry baby Governor, cry baby Senator, and that other ball-less blubbering, whiny, crying beaaatch, the President of Jefferson Parrish...you think to yourself... does everybody in this state have to sit down to take a leak...what a bunch of weak sisters.

Well guess what? Character matters...

So, the NOPD is made up of glorified bouncers?
