CNN: reporter on top of Police station in No.....getting shot at

[Roxy66]

The police officers will not go out on the streets any more.

1. No National Guard troops

and no regulars either for that matter. I guess everyone over in Ft. Polk is overseas.

[Roxy66]

2. Red cross wont go in either...they are parked in Texas

at the Astrodome

[brentspeak]

3. I hope we have no more people here

claiming either a) there are no snipers, or b) the snipers have "justifiable reasons" for shooting at rescuers because of the problems they are facing. The snipers are a CAUSE of the problems, not victims of the problems! Take 'em out, for Pete's sake!

5. WHO are the "snipers"?

And WHY don't they want to be saved?

[brentspeak]

12. I guess the snipers are the ones shooting with rifles at rescuers

As for why they don't want to be saved - I don't know. Maybe they don't want to be saved. They might be gangbangers who don't want their newly-procured turf to be taken away from them.

16. They'll die for their disease-infested, soon to be bull-dozed "turf"?

In my opinion, CIA sniper teams are doing their job well.

[brentspeak]

17. Oh my gosh...

[mixedview]

18. they aren't finished looting and raping - that's why.

edit: i'm not talking about the people stealing strictly for survival in a time of crisis, but the thugs fucking it up for everyone else - they need to be taken out.

6. They took control after shooting the copters.

One man shoots at an aircraft and all of a sudden there's no way of rescuing 25,000 people stuck in the Louisiana Super Hell Hole.

13. so much for the invincibility of the US

military equipment if a single sniper can ground them.
Guess all the real heros are missing in action due to iraqattack.

[linazelle]

4. So let me get this straight...NO is more dangerous than Iraq now?

Unfathomable.

[Roxy66]

7. Is this all for real?

[SofaKingLiberal]

8. unfortunately, yes

[RBHam]

9. The snipers WILL trade their guns for food and water.

I'd betcha.

[Roxy66]

10. The snipers probably already gathered some food

[RBHam]

11. A week's worth> A month? How about fresh water?

This makes no sense.

[Roxy66]

14. I know..it all fricking sucks!!

[spooked]

15. terrible situaltion!
