It's anarchy there now. They had to stop medical evacuations because people were shooting at helicopters.

I hope they declared martial law by now. Because if I was the governor, I'd lay the smack down on the people causing trouble.

whats the cause of all this?

i saw the post earlier by you, but then realized your comp probably spazzed because it post 3 times and there was no post.

according to the news, martial law has been declared in new orleans

Katrina.

The people down there are going crazy, rather than helping each other out. For some reason, it's the government's fault. So they're taking it out on medical helicopters.

They make me sick.

oh yeah, i heard about that on the news, but didnt know if thats what you were talking about.

my bad and that is stupid that theyre being that way.

poor people.

Ah yes, government is God and can control the weather, destroying their own city at will

^
i dont get it, how do they control the weather. you mean, the environment?


Anyways, the children are stuck. that's not nice.

Yes, it's ridiculous. Ultra liberals blamed it on the Bush Administration, Ultra religious people blamed it on gays.

But still, the people that are preventing the relief efforts from continuing need to be stopped.

nicki was being sarcastic. [very well put, by the way <3]

that made me laugh.

i live close enough that i think we might have refugees here...

gas, generators, and lumber should be drying up any time soon...

How ridiculous. People disappoint me.

Yea martial law was called in. The military is bein called in to help with the relief effort and keep people in check.

I don't think martial law has been declared yet, since the civil forces are still in command and, aside from National Guardsmen, the military is not present. (The National Guard is not subject to the Posse Comitatus Act and therefore can act as law enforcement domestically, even when martial law has not been declared.)

i think federal troops will get called in, at least to new orleans and other costalish areas.

there's not enough troops to protect everything tho.

yeeesh.

Chaos.

They're coming here to Texas too.

I must say that this is very interesting.

And they do need to stop the shooting.

well, i do now understand why some people could justify owning a gun as protection.

man, if i live in a costal area with hurricanes, hell yea i'm going to buy a gun.

yeah i live in tyler and there are new orleans kids enrolling into the highschool here plus all the hotels are filled up. :\ stupid gangs getting all riled up lol its like poking a beehive

oh crap.
thats stupid. why would they attack medical helicopters [ i know out of spite & anger and panic/confusion cos of Katrina ]

You would think that in times likes these, people would try to help as much as they can.

meh. I forgot. They're people.

right. my ride home from band today brought that up because another parent told him she didn't think Bush was going to stay much longer. fortunately, they remembered i was with them and they didn't know my views and we started talking about the weather instead. i'm usually fairly liberal, but this blame game is ridiculous


thanks

o haha. i thought the government hides things pretty well.

i dont think they have anywhere to put arrested ppl though cuz all the electricity's out

It makes me think of the Kaiser Cheif's song " I predict a Riot".

Yeah New Orleans is basically in anarchy now. I read an article on Earthlink news that these volounteer chefs were going to make food and the National Guard chased them out saying, " You better get out of here or we'll shoot your brains out." It's really sad. You think people would come together and help each other in this time of need.

like you guys wouldn't go mad in the condition they're in.
