'Shoot to kill'

[Psycho4Bud]

Iraq-tested US troops with shoot-to-kill orders were deployed in New Orleans today to restore law and order after days of chaos and looting in the hurricane-devastated city.

Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco said the 300 troopers from the Arkansas National Guard had been authorised to open fire on "hoodlums'' who have been terrorising the flooded city in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.

Their deployment came amid intense criticism of the government for a tardy response to the disaster, which is feared to have killed thousands of people and left hundreds of thousands more stranded and homeless.

"These troops are fresh back from Iraq, well trained, experienced, battle tested and under my orders to restore order in the streets,'' Blanco said.

"They have M-16s and they are locked and loaded.

These troops know how to shoot and kill and they are more than willing to do so if necessary and I expect they will,'' said Blanco.

Four days after the killer storm slammed into the US Gulf Coast, New Orleans was still plagued by gunbattles and rapes with gangs of looters and carjackers roving the streets and bodies just left lying by the roadside.

Residents reported survivors dropping dead in shelters or gunned down outside the New Orleans convention centre. Hospitals were evacuated after power ran out and helicopters ferrying patients and babies drew gunfire.

It's going to be something to watch. Poor lil' gang banger bitches crying on national television on how their being convicted and killed on the streets in TOTAL disregard to their rights.
BANG, BANG, BANG!!! Good enough for em'!! :D

[Sgt. Pepper]

I agree, Psycho, the gangster situation is COMPLETELY unacceptable. Who knows how many people they've killed indirectly by interrupting rescue operations? Time to clean them out.

[ADaisyChain]

Hopefully they don't shoot people just looting food and shampoo and stuff. Glad to hear they're killing people though.

[Sgt. Pepper]

Unfortunately, ADaisyChain, it's only a matter of time until we hear those sad stories. It's a real kick in the nuts, though, because we really have to kill those gunmen before all these refugees die.

[bhallg2k]

So those in charge have gone from being completely inept to inept and dangerous?

Very nice.

Something else, too. Take a look at this (http://www.dailykos.com/comments/2005/8/30/192236/013/241#241) and tell me, who exactly are the looters and who are those simply trying to survive?

Thank God that no matter what, this administration is gone in three years. And yes, I'd be saying the same thing if the president were a liberal-ass Democrat. Anyone who fucks up this bad, under these circumstances...I ain't even gonna go there.

[nicholasstanko]

trust me, bahallg, i would be surprised if he even made it to the 2006 elections. enough is enough.

[Tholiak]

FYI....No Order to Shoot to Kill has been ordered, the Governor just had harsh words to say to the looters.

[NowhereMan]

[amsterdam]

the mayor and govenor are gonna take a hit for their lack of readiness after the hurricane hit.there are thousands upon thousands of national gaurd that were ready but not deployed.only 10%,thats right,10% of the national gaurd from LA are deployed overseas.

[Psycho4Bud]

FYI....No Order to Shoot to Kill has been ordered, the Governor just had harsh words to say to the looters.

Looters trying to get food, supplies to survive...no. Pieces of shit gang bangers, thugs, whatever you want to call the trash...hell yes!!! We kill Moslum terrorists overseas, why not kill these ones off right here and now!

Everybody in here is always bitching on how we stick our nose into other countries affairs while we ignore our own. A police officer shot, hopital, helicoptor....these people are nothing more than terrorists but their to fucking ingnorant to even have a cause! Time to clean the streets and Git R Done!!!

Finally, some language that Bush and his chickenhawk neocons can get behind, something that they can understand:

SHOOT TO KILL


Four years since 9/11 and this is the best response that Homeland Security and FEMA and all you chickenhawk twits can come up with?

SHOOT TO KILL

[amsterdam]

thats language anyone can understand.

Well I'm soooooo very sorry!!! Why don't you go down there personally and see what needs the gang bangers may have. You know, some good ol' Democratic aid!! :rolleyes:

[Sgt. Pepper]

This Democrat says "Shoot to Kill!"

[Arioch]

Hmmm, dropped that line and caught me two chickenhawks in no time. Good fishing 'round here.

â??I am absolutely disgusted. After the tsunami our people, even the ones who lost everything, wanted to help the others who were suffering,â?� Sajeewa Chinthaka, 36, as he watched a cricket match in Colombo, Sri Lanka.

â??Not a single tourist caught in the tsunami was mugged. Now with all this happening in the U.S. we can easily see where the civilized part of the worldâ??s population is.â?�

[Arioch]

Do I want the National Guard in there protecting people? Damn straight - one of my sister-in-laws, an RN, is heading down there Sunday.

Both conservatives and liberals have been saying that the emergency response to the whole thing has been terrible.

Bush responds best when he can respond with force. He speaks best when he has an enemy to confront.

Open mouth and insert foot! Rather be a chickenhawk than a dumbass!

The conflict has killed about 64,000 people, displaced one million and held back the island's growth and economic development.

Some estimates suggest that the government has spent up to 5% of gross domestic product on defence in recent years.

Sri Lanka's once successful tourist industry has also been badly hit by the violence, but has been recovering over the last two years.

So because Sri Lanka has a fucked-up political situation, that one particular individual's quote has no merit? Whatever. It actually supports your position more than mine, that lawlessness has to be dealt with, and which I am not arguing against. It's the BANG! BANG! Good riddance! rhetoric I'm sick of. Go ahead, cream your jeans over it - I'll go find some porno, which is why the internet was really invented.

Well, guess I'll see ya....Jerk Off!!

BWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! :D

That was waaaaayyyyyyyy to easy! :D

[Arioch]

Well now, we have each admitted to our true natures, you to being a chickenhawk and me to being a jerkoff. Honesty ... I feel better, and I know you feel ... full of yourself.

No, I feel better and you feel sticky!! :eek:

[Sgt. Pepper]

OK, Arioch, I'm a chickenhawk because when these shitbags shoot at people trying to evacuate and rob people at gunpoint I think we should shoot back?

[Arioch]

Sgt. Pepper:

Chickenhawks â?¦ I was referring to Amsterdam and Psycho. I read this board periodically.

Iâ??d be shooting back, because what else are you going to do? Thatâ??s the way it goes. The bad thing is promoting it. It didnâ??t strike me that youâ??ve been promoting it, or showing some kind of admiration for that kind of action, as it does in Amsterdamâ??s or Psychoâ??s choice of words. Or in Pres. Bushâ??s words.

The government should have gotten the situation under control quicker, it would have cut down on the number of incidents. Shoot to kill wouldnâ??t have to be a by-word. Violence feeds violence.

How come in four years the Bushies havenâ??t gotten better prepared to deal with almost any kind of disaster that could strike a major metropolitan area that requires evacuating large numbers of people, maintaining order, setting up command-and-control centers, bringing in food, water and supplies, etc., etc? Isnâ??t that part of the War on Terrorism?

[Psycho4Bud]

Hey spanky! Why didn't you run on down there with a bag of cookies for the rapists and bangers? I'm sure it would have calmed everything right down.
SHOOT TO KILL!!! BANG, BANG BWWWAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!! :D

[nicholasstanko]

No, I feel better and you feel sticky!! :eek:


that's enough, psycho.



national crisis, remember?

[Psycho4Bud]

that's enough, psycho.



national crisis, remember?

How true, how true!! This situation in New Orleans and all the southern gulf coast outweighs Ariochs quest for a firm right hand. Please excuse my indiscretion! :D

[Euphoric]

its amusing, dont you think? war, tragedies suffering and pain. the media sensationalizes it!!
if the world, the human race, our society was a little less sober,i.e. high on cannabis perhaps we would of been better prepared for these kinds of events.
Imagine how the world would of been different had pot not been illegal!
Would 9/11 of even happened? Probably not.
Bush?
No way.
And the victims of Katrina look like they could all use some serious cannabis therapy.

[nicholasstanko]

yeh i know.


because of prohibition, a bunch of people hopped up on coke before the hurricane, went crazy and started breaking shit up looking for a fix.


if everyone could smoke weed and be free, most wouldnt even consider touching coke...



think about that...

[Arioch]

Psycho - how do you know which hand I use?

Euphoric - I don't know about 9/11 not happening; Middle East 'assassins' got high on hashish before they'd do the deed. But I know what you're saying; a lot of those people are freaking out, getting hysterical. It's a sad thing to see.

[Psycho4Bud]

its amusing, dont you think? war, tragedies suffering and pain. the media sensationalizes it!!

Very true! Everytime shit hits the fan Geraldo gets a hard on!! No offense HARDDON! :D There's a reporter on Fox, some Steve, stands outside in this shit watching stuff wing by him. Unreal!!!
You would have to agree...the press has human misory weighed way higher than human victory stories. Take it from there where I'm leading to! :D

[Psycho4Bud]

Psycho - how do you know which hand I use?

Switch hitter? Must feel like your cheating on yourself. :D Didn't mean to offend saying that you were to the "Right"! Spankin' Democratic Style!

BWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! :D

That shits good for a hit..."pass go and collect two hits Arioch!"

[Arioch]

..."pass go and collect two hits Arioch!"

Don't mind if I do ...

It's mean and green and gets me where I want to go ...

[Psycho4Bud]

Don't mind if I do ...

Now this is the way Governments should be dude! You call me chickenhawk, I call you jerk off.....everybody takes a hit and it's alllll goooood! Have a good one bro!!! :D
