MSNBC just showed the convention center where people are actually dying as we post.

CNN showed the same, & also 'refugees' in large group chanting "we want help", & very upset people, outside the Dome.

Time for gov't to decide who's going to live.....these refugees or the gangbanging looters???

If you have a firearm, and you use that firearm to cut in line, get an earlier ride out, and the government response is to halt evac operations, what is your next logical move?

Accelerant?

You how quickly it went up, judge for yourselves.

Did anyone actually SEE anyone inside there?

Consider this folks, for a moment.

Which one of us thinks this would go into Day FIVE like this, massive chaos, attacks on citizens, etc. if the LOOTERS were ARAB TERRORISTS instead with chems or bios, unleashing it, and killing as they went along. We would have had special forces in there putting this down 48 hours ago.

But we CANNOT as a nation, bring us to go to the maximum, because the looters are Americans, not al-Qaeda, so we will probably have to wait another 2-3 days for EFFECTIVE MARTIAL LAW and critical special forces. (Political correctness?) It is a shame, because the devastation and loss of life is the same were they al-Qaeda, or normal indigenous street toughs with American citizenship.

We have to think of New Orleans situation as if IT WERE A FOREIGN ATTACK to get the total resources of the US military at work, IMHO.
