Iraq-tested soldiers in New Orleans with shoot to kill orders
« on: September 04, 2005, 02:46:19 PM »
AFP | September 2 2005

A squad of 300 National Guard troops landed in anarchic New Orleans fresh from Iraq on Thursday, with authorization to shoot and kill "hoodlums", Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco said.

"Three hundred of the Arkansas National Guard have landed in the city of New Orleans," said Blanco.

"These troops are fresh back from Iraq, well trained, experienced, battle tested and under my orders to restore order in the streets," Blanco said.

"They have M-16s and they are locked and loaded.

"These troops know how to shoot and kill and they are more than willing to do so if necessary and I expect they will," said Blanco.

Colonel Henry Whitehorn of the Louisiana State Police said that the law and order situation in the city was "bad."

He said however anarchic conditions around the Superdome stadium and central business district where up to 20,000 refugees have been sheltering had been "stabilising."

But he admitted that a number of police officers, who had lost everything in flooding after Hurricane Katrina which roared ashore last Monday, had handed in their badges, unwilling to take the fight to looters.




I never thought I'd say it but big up to the police, the ones who didnt follow orders

That shit is rediculous. This is like death penalty for robbery (if you can even call it robbery) without trial.

I'm not the one to pull the race card, but seriously, it seems more and more like they arent putting 100% in it because they got something against those people.

i'll take some good guesses..

1) why they have guns?

because guns are easy to come by.. either they had them or they stole them from looted stores and homes. hell some may even be some of these ex-policemen who handed their badges in..

hell.. in the same situation if i had to feed my family, provide etc i'd be after a gun.. even if just for self protection


2) why did they start running wild ?

i already touched on this.. but people have no food, no where to buy food or anything.. you will get wild when your kids and wife, brothers, sisters or whatever are crying and getting sick from not eating.

i'd hazard a guess that large/solid families or groups of families are protecting themselves and taking from those who can't defend themselves.. its survival of the fittest.. and in a selfish capitalist society like america no one gives a fuck about anyone but themselves

That pretty much covers all scenarios. I know if I were down there with my family, I would of grabbed a gun too. At this point the people can't really depend on law enforecement so they're protecting their own asses.

None of this would of happened if the majority of the population weren't people of low economical status. Fuck all the excuses and bullshit the government and media outlets wanna spring on ya. These people don't have any pull in political contributions and no one will really benefit from rescuing these people other than the people themselves.

That's why while the fucking disaster was happening, Bush was meeting with Alan Greenspan about the affect this event will have on the nation financially. The money factor comes before the lives of the people. Like Seer said, the US is a greedy selfish capitalist nation.
