        As much as gangs roaming the streets and looting is a tragedy waiting to happen, they still have so many people homeless without food or water and slowly running out of hope. I'm sure more than a few that still need urgent medical assistance.

        A military presence here and there, fine, but finding and moving people should still be the top priority right now.

                  Right dude. The safety of those who are still trapped inside their houses and needs evacuation must be their primary goal there.

                      They are talking about people shooting at rescue choppers.

                      WTF? - Why would you do that?

                      The looting I can comprehend - but that is just crazy.

                          Sorry folks. The beautiful state of Lousiana has no such "law" on the books.

                          Martial law' in Big Easy?
                          Though term used by media, declaration has not been made

                          Though many media outlets ? starting with local New Orleans TV stations ? yesterday reported that "martial law" had been declared in New Orleans, the Louisiana attorney general has confirmed that is not the case, saying no such term exists in state law.

                          Even so, Friday, three days before hurricane Katrina pounded the Gulf Coast, Gov. Kathleen Blanco declared a state of emergency, which gives authorities widespread latitude to suspend civil liberties as they try to restore order and bring victims to safety. While not technically "martial law," the emergency designation gives some of the same powers to government officials.

                          Under the Louisiana Homeland Security and Emergency Assistance and Disaster Act of 1993, the governor and, in some cases, chief parish officials, have the right to commandeer or utilize any private property if necessary to cope with the emergency, explained the New Orleans Times-Picayune.

                          Media organization apparently confused action taken under the emergency declaration or the curfew that had been declared with an actual "martial law" declaration.

                              I think it was the NOLa mayor that first used the term.

                              If its not on state books, could it not be declared by the federal govt.?

                                  Can you quote him? Show me the quote.

                                  "Demonstrating yet again how poorly media can perform in emergencies, the Louisiana attorney general (and governor's office) has clarified that "martial law" has not been declared in New Orleans (or anywhere else in the state)," wrote Andrew Sommers on about.com.
                                  otherwise i stand by that.

                                    I agree but be realistic: New Orleans is under a lot of water, parts are inaccessible. There are thousands of people that need to be rescued. How would you like to spend 5 days on your roof in sweltering heat, no water, sanitation, etc. only to find out that you weren't rescued because the cops and army boys were too busy catching punks looting Sport Chek?
