Faux News said gangs w/AK47s are roaming the streets of NO

[skooooo]

Anyone hear this from a CREDIBLE source. Or is it just scare tactics?

[Beaverhausen]

1. why are you watching faux?

[skooooo]

3. I felt like it

[Catherine Vincent]

18. LOL!

Your response just made me laugh. :-)

[skooooo]

21. lol...

Well it was honest.

[liberaliraqvet26]

11. Shepard Smith was actually very good tonight...

he actually is the only somewhat objective reporter on the network

[Beelzebud]

15. Rat meat might taste like pumpkin pie, but i wouldn't know, because

I wouldn't eat the filthy motherfucker. --Jules from Pulp Fiction


:D

[seabeyond]

25. i agree. and i dont watch fox at all anymore

and none of the other news channels either cant stomach them. but in the past listening to him, he has been pretty good. i saw him on the coverage for this hurricane, and he seemed to be doing a good and fair accounting. he was about disgusted and outraged at not seeing help for people

[liberaliraqvet26]

27. it's almost like he is a real reporter...

he was blasting the federal response earlier.

[SlipperySlope]

Why are they gangs?

It is what they are DOING with the AK-47s that matters!

Are they keeping the peace and protecting people, or are they using them to take what they want?

[tjdee]

2. If 80% of the city is under water, where the hell are they going?

That's the first thing.

The second thing is, if we had some NATIONAL FUCKING GUARD THERE, this wouldn't be happening.

[skooooo]

12. Where are they going.....I dunno but....

...evidentally they're looking to take some people with them.

[CrownPrinceBandar]

14. I thought the same thing....................

when I saw footage of a reporter talking to a guy who was just carjacked at knifepoint. Where are they going to drive to?

[Guaranteed]

24. I've heard that they're in the French Quarter. nt

[KyndCulture]

4. Actually WDSU said something similar earlier. nt.

I dunno about the AK47's but there are definitely some heavily armed people running around.

[skooooo]

10. Gun stores have been looted....

Plus I heard that they could no longer keep some of the prisoners and just let them go. If those were the ones I saw on TV looting diapers then probably its no big deal. On the other hand....things could get really weird over the next week.

[slackmaster]

20. 99.999% chance it's bullshit

There are VERY FEW AK-47 rifles in this country, and more illegal ones than legal (the latter being the only kind a gun store would carry).

[skooooo]

22. Ok, maybe.. but

You can bet gun stores have been looted. People have time on their hands, and will be up to no good.

The mayor of NO just declared martial law. So, that tells me there is some shit going down.

[jackstraw45]

5. Must be hunters and sportsmen...

The NRA told us that they use those guns responsibly, right?

:eyes:

[liberaliraqvet26]

6. it's probably true...

the gun stores were looted. there are gangs w/ AK47's walkin around NO on a normal day.

[muwriter]

7. There was a shooting into a police station last night

Several gun shops, pawn shops, and Wal-Marts (more guns) have been mentioned as being looted. Not to mention that New Orleans has a large and well armed gang population anyway. A few of them probably DO have automatic weapons. Parts of that city were incredibly dangerous well before the hurricane.

Armed looters doesn't surprise me at all.

[gatorboy]

8. Why should Fox care

They're just displaying their right to bare arms...

[halsaxby]

9. Get used to it...

there will be a whole lot more of this if gas prices keep rising.

[doublethink]

13. Shit I heard on FAUX they had ...... Anti Tank weapons .....

maybe even developing nuclear weapons down there !!!! Shit .... be very scared of all those criminal displaced homeless black people down in N.O. Why should we help them? ....... I think you know where this is leading ..... Peace.

[sakabatou]

16. Uh, no I haven't heard this yet...

[sundog]

17. fox world: white man with a gun = good american...

black man with a gun = menace to society

[doublethink]

19. yea what the f .... up with that hommie?

The NRA should be proud of these people expressing their right to bare arms. Peace. :)

[gatorboy]

23. Someone email this to the NRA with a big thumbs up!

eom

[sundog]

no shit... pride in the second amendment except*

:eyes:

oh yeah, i almost forgot... a middle easterner with a gun is a terraist...

[Deep N RedLand]

26. A police station was looted I heard.

That's likely accounts for some of the heavier weapons.

As to were the police were at the time, hell, there have been reports and pictures showing some of the police are too busy looting stores themselves!

Total fucking anarchy and half the Guard and equipment in Iraq!

[Ilsa]

28. Maybe they aren't gangs. Maybe they are restoring law and order!

Maybe they are out keeping the peace.

[librechik]

30. They are just expressing their second amendment rights

they are true-blue Americans!

[stanwyck]

29. O'Reilly's theme on NO tonight

those scary black people are running amok! They have guns! They're terrorizing Fox's white reporters! They may hijack our vehicles!
Nothing about the children who don't have food. The elderly who don't have medicine. The families without water or electricity. The small business owners who have lost everything.
Nothing about how the Bush admnistration has so cut federal/state/local budgets so drastically that the levees, which should have been repaired, were not maintained. The National Guard is in Iraq. So homeowners are at the mercy of looters.
Yes. There are people looting. They're desperate. They're poor. And, yes, many are black. Their neighborhoods were among the worst hit. But there is so much more to this story. And it's telling what O'Reilly has chosen to spout off about...the racism speaks to his audience.
There are more black people in NO who are honest. And who are helping each other, as best they can under horrific circumstances. But we won't see them. And we won't hear O'Reilly talk about the safeguards that should have been in place to protect our citizens.
His emphasis is the incredibly ugly aspect of conservatism which feeds on blaming "the other". Or, as O'Reilly kept saying with contempt "these people" .
We get it, Bill. The Southern Strategy expanded for your entire racist base.
Let's drop you down in NO without water, electricity, transportation, or communication and see what happens to you. Oh, you've also got two small children who are hungry and a mother who desperately needs her medicine.
No cell phone, Bill. No assistants, No money. No ATM. No credit cards.
Think about it, Bill.

[Xtreme]

31. WRONG

I dont care for "o really" much but he covered everything.

[stanwyck]

32. So. He mentioned the numerous

failures of the Bush administration to fund the support agencies? He mentioned how his budget didn't allow for the work on the levees which was desperately needed? He mentioned that Bush didn't send in the Nat. Guard until today....four days too late? Or how the Guard is hampered by their deployments to Iraq? Along with equipment? Or how it took Bush days to respond...while continuing to attend fundraisers and strum a guitar?
Wow. You must have a magic television set.

[xultar]

33. Gangs have always been roaming the streets of NO with AKs

[Cleita]

34. Who the hell cares what Faux said.

They haven't told the truth since the day they went on the air.

[Rainscents]

35. That was last night that happen... So far for tonight, I haven't heard.

[JanMichael]

36. So Walmartzilla sells AK's? Wow! Who knew?

I'm going down to Costco and demanding that they stock them too!
