I hope they do not kill people that go in to food stores as they have no option if they are going to live. This is a example how a state like USA, with a small federal sector, stands without all needed in this situation. And a lot of people fron National Guard is in Iraq...

Terribly terribly sad.
What a horrible situation. I am saddened for all of the affected people who don't know how to deal with the stress and the pressures put on them... everyone from the people on the streets to the people in the government. I hope the government of the USA is not as daft and evil as depcited in these articles that they would kill their own people.
Victims of the hurricane - my prayers are with you.
Government of the USA - my prayers are with you.

They're not there shooting people getting food. They'll be shooting people who have guns, are burning buildings, killing, raping and carjacking.

Shoot to Kill?
We didn't even give that order to our troops in Iraq.
All they could do with looters in Bagdad was strip them down naked and make them walk home.
OBAMA-WORST PRESIDENT EVER....Even SKOORB would be better.

Theyre NOT shooting poor people looking for food, as already said if you look earlier in the post. hey are shooting rapists, murderers, carjackers, shooters, etc!

I'm sure they are differenciating between starving people looking for resources and armed "hoodlums" looting the city.

It's about time they finally issued a Rule of Engagement that makes sense . . .
"Fire for Effect".
Better to issue that order now instead of AFTER a dozen guardsman are killed because they've been ordered to hold their fire . . . anyone remember LA? Send in the National Guard without bullets? WTF?
Good call Governor - by the way, where the hell is the Governor?

Some people are indeed only trying to get food. Fine, I can understand that. But the favorite targets seem to be jewelry and electronics stores. That is plain and simple theft, and those people should be shot.
I just ask the troops to make sure that the guy is carrying a TV set and not cans of food before drilling him.

Hmmmm..... Didn't the British Cops have the same order.... and look who got shot. An innocent person minding his own business who happened to be cold and was wearing a jacket.
How many innocents are going to be killed in NO because of Bubba Guardsman with a Hunting License?
Innocent until PROVEN Guilty. Not with Bubba Redneck on patrol.

Your a stereotyping ass. I think there is a difference between shooting a random guy on a calm subway train ans shooting a guy in the middle of a destrtoyed city as he holds an AK-47 and roams through the street. your comment are uncalled for. stay out of america's business
Guess those hoodlum assholes better put down those shopping carts full of VCRs, park those Oldsmobiles with the trunks full of beer, and quit shooting at the ambulances trying to evac people from a hospital, and quit taking pot shots at helos trying to save their stupid asses, eh?

First off, you are comparing apples with oranges here, the mission here is totally different to the ongoing one in the UK. Secondly, get real, you can't just walk up to a guy who is holding up a gun and tell him to put down.
The individuals that deserve to be shot, are the ones that are looting just for their personal gain and not stealing things because they are absolutely necessary for survival, or shooting at helicopters, while these are trying to rescue people, threatening police officers and other rescue personnel, while they are just trying to safe a few lifes.

A couple days after Andrew, several looters were shot in the leg and ass one night. It was easy to tell the looters as they were out after curfew carrying TVs and other booty. Amazingly enough, looting wasn't much of a problem after that. Unfortunately, things may have progressed too far for such a deterrent to be effective in NO at the moment.

Maybe it is not Iraq but it looks more like tribal war like they have in Somalia. Go and tell innocent until proven guilty to the victims of these hoodlums.

We need more Governors with cajones like this and more military leaders like Lt. Gen. Hanore.
My orders would have been simple. If you are carrying a weapon or have anything in your hands that is not yours besides food, you will recieve a bullet wound, courtesy of the United States Army. Not only that, you also get put at the bottom of the treatment list at the nearest hospital. Better hope you don't bleed to death in the process. Its acts like this that actually make people think before doing stupid things like that.
Lets not forget, this is the National Guard, which recieves it's orders directly from the governor unless the President activates them to active service.

In 1906 they hung blacks (perhaps the n-word is more appropriate) from trees.
Absolutely pathetic...Lt. Gen. Honore actually had to tell guardsmen, "Point your weapons down, this is not Iraq."
These "people"/beasts/gang members are raping, carjacking, and killing others. They are terrorists!
