The military simply HAS to come in and regain order. Those little thugs need to be faced with bigger guns and either disarm or die.
I've asked this question before and didn't get an answer.
Secretary Chertoff made it pretty clear yesterday during his Homeland Security briefing that, as the department in charge now of the Gulf coast crisis, they will act as a military to quell civil unrest IF the Governor of a state mandates it.
Otherwise, they are only able to help with rescue.
Has the Governor of LA asked for the military to help law enforcement personnel in a law enforcement capacity?
Completely AGREE. I pray that pic on Drudge of the tank is REAL. They need to restore order before the anarchists start killing innocents who are only trying to KEEP staying alive.
If Clinton were president, we would be turning our outrage outward and FREEPING THE WHITE HOUSE like crazy, letting the folks at the top know our viewpoints. However, I don't know if anyone has called for a general CYBER FREEP of the White House or Homeland Security, asking them to do the things necessary that each of us is telling each other internally, that they should do. I think I have to spend some time freeping the powers that be, now.
