BATON ROUGE, La., Sept 1 (Reuters) - Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco warned rioters and looters in New Orleans on Thursday that National Guard troops are under her orders to "shoot and kill" to end the rampant violence in the city in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

Announcing the arrival of 300 Arkansas National Guard troops in New Orleans fresh from service in Iraq, Blanco said, "these troops are battle-tested. They have M-16s and are locked and loaded."

"These troops know how to shoot and kill and I expect they will," she said.

U.S. Rep. Charlie Melancon, a Democrat, said as many as 100 people in his district southeast of New Orleans have died as a by-product of the violence that has gripped the city after Katrina slammed into the region on Monday, causing massive flooding.

Look at the people doing the looting and shooting. They were lowlife uncivilized animals before Katrina and it only follows that they would be lowlife uncivilized animals after Katrina.

NEW ORLEANS-- With much of the city emptied by Hurricane Katrina, some opportunists took advantage of the situation by looting stores.

When police finally showed up, a young boy stood in the door screaming, "86! 86!"-- the radio code for police-- and the crowd scattered.

One man, who had about 10 pairs of jeans draped over his left arm, was asked if he was salvaging things from his store.

"No," the man shouted, "that's EVERYBODY'S store."

Mike Franklin stood on the trolley tracks and watched the spectacle unfold.

"To be honest with you, people who are oppressed all their lives, man, it's an opportunity to get back at society," he said.

Yeah, man, we've been oppressed by the MAN and now we're getting what we're due, man. It's the law of the jungle, man. Get all you can while the gettin' is good, man.

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 31 - In a city shut down for business, the Rite Aid at Oak and South Carrollton was wide open on Wednesday. Someone had stolen a forklift, driven it four blocks, peeled up the security gate and smashed through the front door.

Across New Orleans, the rule of law, like the city's levees, could not hold out after Hurricane Katrina. The desperate and the opportunistic took advantage of an overwhelmed police force and helped themselves to anything that could be carried, wheeled or floated away, including food, water, shoes, television sets, sporting goods and firearms.

Some frightened homeowners took security into their own hands.

John Carolan was sitting on his porch in the thick, humid darkness just before midnight Tuesday when three or four young men, one with a knife and another with a machete, stopped in front of his fence and pointed to the generator humming in the front yard, he said.

One said, "We want that generator," he recalled.

"I fired a couple of rounds over their heads with a .357 Magnum," Mr. Carolan recounted Wednesday. "They scattered."

He smiled and added, "You've heard of law west of the Pecos. This is law west of Canal Street."

To any group of ARMED GANGSTAS roaming the streets looking for easy pickins the law is "You loot, we shoot."
 
"I've been oppressed and I deserve designer pants." Some people deserve to starve. the only thing I have against the shoot to kill orders is: why weren't they in effect Tuesday?
 
I'm sure that it was believed that the indigents were on their "honor" to ransak stores for food, water, diapers, tampons, toilet paper, tennis shoes, just the basic necessities, you know. Arming themselves with AK-47s and shooting at Blackhawkes deserves a different kind of response, though.

Agreed. But at least they are doing it though it is a bit late. Keeping in mind they shot at cops, military and helicopters all designated to the area to help them survive. One would assume that they want to survive

Now that can't be right. Criminals armed with knifes and machetes? And the homeowner with a gun? And noone died? Isn't that illegal?
 
Problem is, they'll be coming back tonight, armed with a 12 guage they picked off the shelf at Walmart.

That's the shit that could've been prevented by shooting about 10 of these animals 3 days ago.
 
Funny how the store they picked to drive a forklift through was a DRUG store, huh?

And I'll bet dollars to doughnuts it wasn't Tampax they were after either.

Expect premium increases on your health insurance next renewal period.
 
If the Guardsman have a shoot to kill rule and excersize it. I can predict two things with some likelyhood of happening.

1) Guardsmen will be shot at by Non Looters in retaliation and a looting situation will turn into a riot situation. More fires etc...

2) Mostly white guardsmen killing mostly black looters *statistically speaking* will deal the press a 'race card' which they'll play at will...smearing Bush in the process.
 
hell bish they started screaming the race card yesterday. this is only gonna add fuel to their fire. But if i was a guardsman showing up there. shoot first and ask questions later to anyone not in uniform pointing a gun at me.

Public officials did not expect that the first thing they would have to do is to send thousands of armed troops in armored vehicle, as if they are suppressing an enemy insurgency. And journalists--myself included--did not expect that the story would not be about rain, wind, and flooding, but about rape, murder, and looting.

The man-made disaster we are now witnessing in New Orleans did not happen over the past four days. It happened over the past four decades. Hurricane Katrina merely exposed it to public view.

The man-made disaster is the welfare state.

When confronted with a disaster, people usually rise to the occasion. They work together to rescue people in danger, and they spontaneously organize to keep order and solve problems.

What Hurricane Katrina exposed was the psychological consequences of the welfare state. What we consider "normal" behavior in an emergency is behavior that is normal for people who have values and take the responsibility to pursue and protect them. People with values respond to a disaster by fighting against it and doing whatever it takes to overcome the difficulties they face. They don't sit around and complain that the government hasn't taken care of them. They don't use the chaos of a disaster as an opportunity to prey on their fellow men.

But what about criminals and welfare parasites? Do they worry about saving their houses and property? They don't, because they don't own anything. Do they worry about what is going to happen to their businesses or how they are going to make a living? They never worried about those things before. Do they worry about crime and looting? But living off of stolen wealth is a way of life for them.

The welfare state--and the brutish, uncivilized mentality it sustains and encourages--is the man-made disaster that explains the moral ugliness that has swamped New Orleans. And that is the story that no one is reporting.

Die.

Hey, maybe it's a karma balancing thing. They subconciously know they should have died so they're getting someone to kill them. :lloyd:
