Yea, we are fucking thrilled.

To Houston and San Antonio, in addition to the ones who come one carload at a time. Gee, I wonder if the crime rate will go up when 25,000 unemployed people show up in each location?

Oh, its even better than that. THere are an estimated 100,000 plus her in this city and estimates are that HALF are unemployed, have criminal records or both. Houston is not a "pure city", but my local cop buds think it's going to get fucking UGLY.

NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana (CNN) -- New Orleans' Charity Hospital halted efforts to evacuate its patients after it came under sniper fire, according to Dr. Tyler Curiel, who witnessed the incidents.

The attack came as New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin issued "a desperate SOS" for the thousands of people stranded in an around the city's convention center with no food or water and fading hope.

Curiel and his National Guard escorts, were returning to the hospital after dropping off patients at nearby Tulane Medical Center, when someone started shooting at their convoy of Humvees.

Reports have said that one NG soldier has already been shot. I don't think they will be issued ammo. How the hell are they going to control criminals that are shooting at the relief vehicles with empty weapons?

Don't these people understand that the whole place is flooded out. Very few vehicles can even get to them. There is obviously atleast one route open, where the busses are coming to the Dome. Why aren't they walking out of there. I wouldn't be waiting for some fucking bus.

Watching the videos on CNN and MSNBC, people seem to have some energy. Why not apply it to getting the hell out of there?

Anyone hear the rumor that the 82nd is going to New Orleans?

Based on the latest reports I've read, it seems the situation has deteriorated to the point where the best alternative in my opinion is to drop a MOAB, or several, downtown to destroy the insurgents, and then turn the area into a giant waste dump.

Rebuild the city in another location.

Rgr Holmchicken, tonight on the news they said that 3,000 Ft. Bragg soldiers are going to head to New Orleans. ABC11 hasn't updated their site yet, so I'll post the story when they do..

They need to rescue the decent folks and surround the city with armed cops and soldiers. Then drop pallet after pallet of crack cocaine and ammunition. Give it a couple of months and they'll kill each other.

I apoligize in advance. I'm not religious but, I think god had enough and decided just to start over down there.

I was listening to NO scanner (Got a day's leave....home and bored!) and heard police (?) stationed at a hospital asking for immediate assistance and got reply Special Forces are on the way...didn't hear anything else.
I kid you not - that was at approx 1800hrs (GMT)

Not sure if related.
