Nat'l Guard Dispatched to NOLA - June 20

An inch step closer to de facto martial law, perhaps?

ABC News - National Guard Called In to Fight Big Easy Crime Wave

NEW ORLEANS, June 20, 2006 — Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco has pledged to dispatch the National Guard and state police to the beleaguered city.

The move answers a plea from New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin and the City Council for help in protecting city streets.

"The situation is urgent, and we will accelerate our plans to deploy law enforcement to the city tomorrow," the governor said Monday afternoon. "Having more law enforcement patrolling the streets is a direct deterrent to the criminal element. Criminals are not welcome in New Orleans or anywhere else in this state."

The utilization of the additional forces comes after a recent spate of violent killings in New Orleans.

Outrage over the deaths of five teenagers in the early hours of Saturday morning was obvious among the city's top politicians.

"If we don't have wind knocking us down, we have people shooting us down and that is unacceptable," said City Council President Oliver Thomas.

No, calm down. No Martial Law yet. Give it time maybe we'll see. Who knows. We don't have a Personality Cult, We don't have Martial Law, We don't have a Police State, George Bush isn't Adolph Hitler, the Twin Towers weren't the Reichstag, we're all still free to say what we want to say. Hell I played the sacrificial lamb for you all 6 months ago and posted: BIN LADEN SUPERBOWL ALQAEDA DYNAMITE TERRORISM SARIN GAS MILLIONS DEAD KILL THE POPE KILL BUSH, and nobody came to my door and hauled me off in a Chevy Suburban. Relax.

Hey, I'm plenty relaxed. Speaking of black helicopters, if you think that our government has the wherewithal to casually cruise forums like this one for incendiary comments, then you have to believe that they are competent enough to rule you, PMS, out as a possible terrorist BEFORE the helos & Suburbans show up at your house. Don't you think?

Hmmmm. Maybe instead of Martial Law we could have Martial encouragement? Martial One Minute reprimands and Martial goal setting sessions for citizens? Martial rewards? Martial voter's registration?

Violent tendencies? - check.
Religious fervor? - check.
Acerbic remarks? - check.
White male? - double check.

Well, looks like you're guilty in the court of public opinion.
Slice away!

He was my kid brother and I always told him he was going too far. I was always the nice one. There at that ranch with all the hippie chicks and the patulli oil, it was easy to lose oneself. Maybe I was rough on him in the early days. I've since learned to control my rage. I let it out here now and then (ask Schwein) but for the most part I am kind.

Wow you were at the ranch! Did you ever shack with Squeaky Fromme or play cards with Tex?

Like everybody else in those days, the hippie chick legend was enticing to me. It turned the heads of people all over the country. I'm not kidding here. The Free Feminine Spirit who brings love and fulfillment had redneck jerks growing sideburns and perming their hair by the 70s in droves. The Beatles started it by growing their hair long.
