"Federal troops will not be involved in the direct evacuation in any way, of any one, from their home. That is a local and state law enforcement task not to include federal troops," Honore told CNN's "Late Edition."
Smart move. Keeps them out of the lawsuits coming down the pike.
They need to return the already displaced persons to their homes (if they choose to return) with their WEAPONS. Somebody will own Compass's a$$ for the fool order he issued to disarm the populace.
"I can't swing a dead cat without hitting a reporter," Honore said.
I suspect there's plenty of dead cats there and if there aren't maybe PETA can send some of theirs along. Keep swinging General! Every dead cat strike on a reporter is a blow for common sense.
No, it's the Law.
When Gen. Honore is finished with this mammoth task, I vote he replace Scott McClellan. I'd pay to watch him conduct press briefings. I love this guy!
With all the pontification I see on TV, this is almost never brought up by the MSM. Go figure.
Except in the case of that 80-year old woman that everyone saw dragged out of her home by a SWAT team last week...
Agreed, and also flash images of U.S. soldiers dragging private American citizens kicking and screaming out of their homes would be a public relations nightmare for the Army, not to mention a real dteriment to recruiting.
This reminds me of:
"Off again, on again, gone again, Finnigan."
Smart move.
No, it's the Law.
It might be the law, but it's a smart move telling everyone in advance.
Not smart move, the law...Their still restricted under Posse Comitatus
I hope Honore is an honorable man. He appears so. However he should enforce the Constitution.
THAT IS BLATANT HYPERBOLE. She only looked 70-years old or so.
You did mean "defend" the Constitution. yes?
Enforce - Defend. I mean he ought to start arresting the police and National Guard that are violating it. Of course that would be violating it - I think.
.....Somebody will own Compass's a$$ for the fool order he issued to disarm the populace......
It is far worse than disarming. I heard a first hand account where a black brother and sister were ordered out. They gathered what they thought important..... drivers license, SS cards all their money and put it in a plastic bag with spare clothing. They traipsed through the water and on emerging had the bag confiscated. The bag and contents including soggy money was said to be contaminated and disallowed in the evac processing areas and plane.
They arrived here with nothing, no ID, no money.
I find your priorities out of place.
This has gone well beyong politics. What we have here is a a huge catrosphe with an mind boggling mix of heroism, courage and sacrifice; right along side unlelievable inertia, stupidity and incompetence.
I thought the adults had taken charge, but I'm starting to wonder. I hope they got a receipt for their contaminated property.
There's the money line. Thanks, General.
