National Guard Killing Civilians in NO
Has this been posted yet? The damn National Guard has been killing innocent civilians in New Orleans and the news media are NOT reporting it! What's the deal? Can anyone tell me if any mainstream media outlets have covered this story?


<Snip>

"They killed a man here last night," Steve Banka, 28, told the Reuters news agency before he left on Sunday.

A body lies face down in water next to the Superdome. Death was everywhere, both inside and outside the Superdome

"A young lady was being raped and stabbed. And the sounds of her screaming got to this man and so he ran out into the street to get help from troops, to try to flag down a passing truck of them. He jumped up on the truck's windscreen and they shot him dead," Mr Banka said.

1. This has been reported. Bush stood down so that the riots & lawlessness
could rise. Hoping to reconnect to his racist & afraid of black crime base. Turns out, while putting money into the FEAR ACCOUNT OF AMERICA so that he would have "political capital to spend" he terrorized the first responders. Police quit, people you hang onto the end of a rope all day while their helicopter flies were scared. They are all scared.


I don't care if it was not exactly "spelt out" it was going to be like this for bubble boy. He is President - he has no right to stand down during a national emergency. He is responsible for law and order. He is responsible for getting the right advice. And if he insists on surrounding himself with people who "see the profit (political or financial) in a crisis" - it is his fault.

3. Yes, it's been posted a lot.
It has the same problem as many other stories.

There's one story with one person talking about something.

Same with many other incidents of rape, pillage, mayhem, and murder. One witness. No confirmation. No evidence. No story. Just rumor.

5. They are just shooting whom ever they want.
They don't care about human life. They have a gun. They have power over life.
