Snipers??

The latest news from New Orleans; A joint NOPD SWAT and ATF Task force have recently made several federal arrests as well as working to catch SNIPERS in New Orleans and the surrounding areas. Apparently these gunmen are randomly shooting at military helicopters, rescue personal, law enforcement personnel, and workers attempting to repair infrastructure systems such as cellular towers and electrical lines etc.

There is a serious problem in New Orleans that can have only stemmed from years of corruption. There is an unprecedented lawlessness that exists in the New Orleans area. A lawlessness that is unprecedented in the history of the United States. The daily news is becoming increasingly disturbing, and increasingly hard to swallow. The state and local governments need to be thoroughly investigated for failures and unprepared ness that allowed things to progress to the state they’re in.

Everyone knows that the federal government is slow to react to any situation, however, it is completely obvious that the state and local government of Louisiana and the city of New Orleans reacted impossibly slowly, and in fact in some instances failed to react at all.

As Americans I think we need to get involved. The disaster preparedness plan for the entire nation needs to be seriously looked at.
