HOUSTON, Sept 1 (Reuters) - An operation to bus more than 20,000 people from New Orleans to the Houston Astrodome has been suspended temporarily because shots were fired at helicopters being used in the evacuation, a local government spokeswoman said on Thursday.

"We were told they are shooting at Chinook helicopters and the operation has been put on hold until daylight," said Gloria Roemer, spokeswoman for Harris County Judge Robert Eckels.

She said the military helicopters are being used to take evacuees who have been sheltered at the Superdome in downtown New Orleans to the staging area where buses are waiting to take them to Houston.

"It makes you think 'what is going on?'" she said.

I say fuck them.

Let them all die. Come back in a couple of months clean it up and start over.

Fucking crazy, whats next.

it sounds like bloody ANARCHY!! :Oh crap

Drama,

Don't tell me your that cold. You've got a bunch of ghetto ass folks there.

Rescue workers shouldnt have to be worried about being shot at while trying to rescue people ON american soil. It's one thing to assume the risks of a rescue worker, maybe you line gets hung up, a worker gets swept away from the current of the water but to try and save the people who are firing shots ar you? Fuck that. Let them die.

This isnt IRAQ it's the USA

i hope they bring in black hawks and these dumb assholes decide to shoot at one of them. :thumbsup

In Belgium: violence against a rescue worker = automaticaly doubles your sentence.
Maybe a similar law should be adapted in the US.

fuck sake, what's going on?

Yeah I just heard that on the news. It's just sick. The awesome guys down in NO at directNIC posted on their blog info from a police officer they're sheltering. Hearing that side of the story is just insane. Basically no police force. No radio contact, no HQ, 30 police officers have quit over the last couple days. One of the dry streets turned into a flea market where people are swapping the shit they stole. It's pretty sickening. Take all those motherfuckers and shoot 'em all.

Believe it or not rescue workers get shot at on a daily basis around the country, and you don't hear about it much.

In this case it is even more shameful, but it happens everywhere. People shooting at fire trucks, ambulances. I just hope none of the rescuers die while helping people. It sounds like they are saying 1000 could be dead.

Gotta love that huh? "What? People need help?? They're coming here? OPEN FIRE!"

Where's AlienQ and all the other "the world is anti-American" people? They should be in here declaring how this makes them superior. :1orglaugh

No guns no shuting
 

Thats some thing fore us

Read that in a local newspaper here too.. I was like wtf that cant be true... horrible

Chinook helicopters are used by the army. I've been inside one and unless an apache is shooting at them they should remain there

You're missing the point.

A major event just happened which wiped their city out and all they can think about is shooting the ones who come to help them?

That is just insane
Like a bunch of wild animals

national gaurd should have been there day 1 in rubber lifeboats carrying m16's

I'm watching it in amazement. They ought to empty out the Superdome and handcuff every looter and throw them in there with no food and water. Shooting at people who come to help you?? What the fuck is wrong with people?

Why are people stealing televisions when they have no electricity to plug it in and no place to put it? They have no houses yet their instinct is to steal a television????

There are ganges establisihng new "turf" in the superdome...this is the problem...the gangs believe they own the city now....and they do not want their peeps taken away.... :mad:

Unreal :disgust

Crazy niggaz plum lost their minds. They're all asshats.

they should shoot back at them

You think they wont?

The rescuers are trying to evac people that paid attention to the warnings.

what did you expect from niggers ? They are in their "looting

mood".

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh


Iraq is like this since the USA arrived ....


Point aside, I did a resue course and the first rule when arriving on the scene was : check for your own security ". It was also the second rule... Then call , assist, remove ...

National Guards ( the few left ) should have been there with transport, arms, food days before the catastrophe ... This was not a surprised TSUNAMI .... It was forecasted... even on GFY :1orglaugh
But it doesn't seem that the welfare of his own citizens is as important as the one of foreigners in a foreign country ...

Question of priorities for Dubya I presume ...

Just trying out they new gats, yo.

That would make some good CNN video.

Reminds me of the John Cougar song.

"Ain't that America... Something to see"

And on a personal note.... See what liberal gun laws do.

send 5000 troops with m16's and fuckin keep shit in order. i bet those mother fuckers poppin off theyre 9mm's at everyone would stop or be shot.

Who is "they" though? Surely not everyone of those people down there are being total idiots. From what is being reported it appears that a bunch of thugs with AK47s run certain areas (turf). This is the same as any other city except these idiots were flushed out of there normal slums and in with the general population. They have no social skills and belong in prison.

The bottom line is there is still people that need help. I hope they can weed them out from the gun toting idiots.

I don't think the gun laws come into play here.

I agree comletely with that. I'm as liberal as someone can get get but those fuckers qualify as enemy combatants as much as anyone else who has. I say send em to Cuba! Fuckin souless cowards.

My thoughts exactly.

Fuck you.

You think law abiding citizens who bought their guns legally are shooting helicopters?

Fucking idiot.

Legal or not, people have guns there. You think in a country where guns are simply illegal for everyone shots get fired at helicopters. Your gun law is the problem, legal or not.

After crawling, you learn to walk .....


What he is saying, I think, is since guns are easy to get, those guns are now in houses ( or what's left of them} for anybody to grab ...

Now, if the same situation arrived here in Canada ( we had here a major ice storm that shutdown the whole province ) , looters could not get their hands on guns as easily because not many people have guns ...

Now, go polish that double barrel of yours....

The people on the outskirts of town are thanking God for the right to arm themselves. If they're not, they should be.

You think countries where it's illegal to possess firearms people don't get shot?

Exactly.
