The government's response to Katrina has been wrong from the get go, but what do you expect from a city and state ruled by corrupt Dem's? The police have no business trying to control this situation. They are trained to beat up college kids at Mardi Gras, not deal with armed looters.
Clearly, a more forceful response is required. I say bring in Apache attack choppers and declare all of NO a free fire zone. Probably the vast majority of those shot like rats scurring around a garbage dump will be career criminals anyway, so we would not only be stopping looting but eliminating that pesky recidivism problem as well. And instead of evacuating NO, we should fence it in and force those who wanted to stay behind for looting to remain there. See how much fun it is with no crack for six months.
To my understanding that is all allowed under martial law. There may be some questions about who declared it but the Lousianna law should spell that out.
