Edited on Thu Sep-01-05 04:31 PM by WeRQ4U


Look at who they're "Patrolling". Get off the damn tank thingee and take some of these people out of there. If they can get in, why can't they take people OUT?

What fucking country IS THIS?

Oh, and their big manly guns aimed at women and babies.

8. Are they headed to the convention center?
I sure hope so--that place is like a wild west town--shots fired, rapes, robberies, a total mess. They sent 88 cops in, and they got beaten back by the mob. It is a frightening tableau there.

24. SOrry, we couldn't bring any food or water cause these guns need two hands
But I promise you that if you die, it won't be from gang violence.

8. Are they headed to the convention center?

32. Whew, I'm relieved...It's just what New Orleans needs...
...a show of force. This is how Republicans deal with dark skinned people in any circumstance. They were surpised when Iraq didn't welcome the tanks in their city streets. What makes them think that shit is any more appropriate in New Orleans? I'll tell you what -- they're SAYING saving lives is top priority, but in reality, they're so obsessed with property that they'd rather try to scare the looters away from a bunch of waterlogged shit that's already worthless anyway.

Absolutely shameful.

33. Put down the fucking guns
and bring these poor people food and water. Then you won't need the fucking guns.

That's just what we need is a military response to a disaster. Fucking jack asses.
