NG.troops threaten to beat up reporters seeking information must read!

Three babies died at the convention center from heat exhaustion, said Mark Kyle, a medical relief provider.

People at the center said that at least 22 bodies were stored inside the building, but troops guarding the building refused to confirm that and threatened to beat reporters seeking access to the center's makeshift morgue. By midafternoon, paramedics were gathering up the dead.

Meanwhile, at the Superdome, one police officer said that 100 corpses were in yet another makeshift morgue, mostly people who died of heat exhaustion. The officer said six babies had been born there since last Saturday, when people started taking shelter from the storm.

A National Guardsman told a reporter that “we found a young girl raped and killed in the bathroom” at the Superdome. “Then the crowd got the man and they beat him to death.”

2. NO = Bagdhad

Several residents of the impromptu shantytown recounted two horrific incidents where those charged with keeping people safe had killed them instead.

In one, a young man was run down and then shot by a New Orleans police officer, in another a man seeking help was gunned down by a National Guard soldier, witnesses said.

Police here refused to discuss or confirm either incident. National Guard spokesman Lt. Col Pete Schneider said "I have not heard any information of a weapon being discharged."

"They killed a man here last night," Steve Banka, 28, told Reuters. "A young lady was being raped and stabbed. And the sounds of her screaming got to this man and so he ran out into the street to get help from troops, to try to flag down a passing truck of them, and he jumped up on the truck's windshield and they shot him dead."

5. Please help me God for saying this

But all the reported violence in the Superdome because of the anarchy?
It seems the anarchy was well-directed at the man who raped and killed that young child. If he did it once--there was no guarantee he wouldn't do it again in a lawless environment. The men who killed him did what they had to do.
You put people in a jungle--jungle rules apply.
To expect anything more than that is fantasy.
