Just as concerning to me, however, is what might have brought them to this. I don't think they are just doing for the hell of it. There must be a reason.

It is well known that gangbangers will use little kids to hold drugs, guns, etc. These little kids go along with it because they idolize the bigger gangbangers. It's not hard to imagine that, in this case, thugs being rescued would know they'd be searched so they'd hand off their guns to the little ones for safe keeping. All it is gong to take is the troops finding one little kid with a gun and then the bad apple spoils the bunch.

Bottom line is that none of us are there personally so we don't really know what is going on. It's pretty hard to make any kind of judgement based on what we hear from the sensationalistic media. For all we know there might have been one or two cases of this happening out of a hundred but our media will lock onto it like a pit-bull on a 5 year old. I just think it is wrong to automatically start to criticize anytime the national guard, police, govt, etc does ANYTHING.

thats what we're trying to get across...the whole point of them doing it is to intimidate.


im not being unreasonable...but why couldnt they use metal detecting wands? they have plastic knives and bullets now? they dont carry metal detectors in their sophisticated tech packs? hell, they couldve even gotten a airport style detector and im sure they wouldve shambled through a lot faster. it takes about thirty seconds to properly frisk someone.


and youre point about the guard//people have EVERU right to criticise the ones in charge of them. they did nothing for FOUR days.
