#1 No doubt the anti-gun crowd will use this as a reason to ban all Guns. Ignoring cases where lives and property were saved by armed citizens.

#2 Send in a unit of Kiowas to fly cover for the firemen and if anyone one starts shooting at the rescuers then take 'em out. After a day of this, the fun will be gone from being an anarchist and the rescues can proceed.

#3 Shoot them, I don't care if the shooters are priests, shoot them if they try and get in the way of rescue efforts.

#5 It’s all Bush’s master plan!
First steal an election and become President. Then give tax breaks to the rich and create a huge underclass. Snub the NAACP conventions to create confusion for an entire segment of the population. Preach abstinence only to insure that disenfranchised segment grows. Orchestrate the 9/11 attacks. Create the Homeland Security Department and in fold FEMA into it. Sit silent on the Assault Weapons debate and flood the populace with the most lethal weaponry. Create a war overseas to send over the National Guard. Make sure the war is on Muslim lands to insure Allah’s entire wrath. Install a corrupt state government that will gut money from the environmental funds thus eliminating the wetlands and eroding the entire delta region. Divert money from the Army Corp. of Engineers so a mega-levy system can’t be built around New Orleans. By previously refusing to sign the Kyoto Treaty, the earth’s climate was forever altered. Global warming will undoubtedly ensue causing an unprecedented flurry of hurricanes off the Gulf coast. Have Pat Robertson pray to have the storm a Category five and make sure it hits the largest city built under sea level. Sit idle for a day so FEMA breaks down and desperation grows to a fever pitch. Make sure the local police are corrupt to allow for looting and other unthinkable crimes. Send in the government controlled media to flame national outrage. Finally stage rescue and relief operations with the knowledge that some of the thugs will open fire on the authorities. The stage is now set to declare Martial Law. Now that the precedent has been established simply create disasters in other regions of the country until there is total control.

#7 The Zionist (tm) Hurricane Ray worked as planned: Poor killed; democrats killed. Steve: Please try to avoid mentioning the Halliburton contract, we plan to use a subsidiary so as to escape notice. I am so glad by my puppet Bush has been so cooperative!

#8 A few years back when we were evacuated because of the fires SW of Denver, while we were gone it was suggested that we leave our lights on and houses unlocked for the firefighters to have easy access and to see our homes from the roads since we lived so remote. We left our home lit up like a Christmas tree and unlocked, only to come home and find 2 rifles missing. Thankfully the fire line didn't get too close but to think that folks were in our home and stole firearms. To know that your guns are in the hands of thieves that may use them for crime is an awful feeling. The area was being patrolled, but it was a very large area and the officers had alot on their plate. It's terrible that instead of being able to focus on the task at hand of rescue, they need to be policemen too.
I know that I can't compare our fire that seemed so very tragic at the time to the horrors that are occuring down in New Orleans, but we banded together and helped each other. We helped our neighbors with their horses to get out, and others helped with dogs. With the evacuation point being the local high school even the kids helped by walking dogs and helping get the elderly to doctors etc. It's hard to fathom how these folks are feeling, I think that they are just feeling so very desperate, not as an excuse but as an explaination.
