#1 Gen Honore says there is no sniper fire. Someone pulls aout a gun and starts shooting that is not a sniper (unless you are the MSM) He says "you don't see me wearing body armor do you?" "two guys in the street have a shoot out it ain't sniper fire it's a gun fight." There are no snipers in NO. There are stupid people playing with guns.

Manditory evacuations are illegal. You can't force someone to leave their home without a warrant. No Judge will give you one. You can declare they can't be on the street. You can declare a 24X7 curfew. You can not order them to leave their home. You will also have a hard time getting anyone to remove someone who doesn't want to leave their home from their home. 99% of cops will not do it.

#2 Both Mayor Nugget and Gov Bunco are out of their league - probably on any topic or issue of greater import than running a lemonade stand. The legal key is condemnation. Condemn the flooded homes and then you can legally remove the people - martial law optional, One of the film crews on Fox reported, with obvious amazement, that they saw people washing their clothes and dishes in the flood water. Sigh. Some people are in the Too Stupid To Live category, usually reserved for meatheads and bimbos in slasher movies. To protect others, as well as themselves, they need some help with the cognition thingy.

#4 I remember picking up 2 slugs and watching other's do the same on Super Bowl Plaza on New Years Day in 2003. Gun sex on New Years Eve is a big New Orleans tradition.

#8 Mandatory evacuations are permitted in the exercise of what is called the "police power," which is the reserve power of the government to act in emergency situations.
