Cops disarming New Orleans Survivors September 9th, 2005
This comes from Ian over at Claire Wolfe’s blog. The cops in New Orleans are disarming citizens trying to protect their homes — and here is the video footage to prove it. Howbdo they expect these people to protect their property when they move on to the next neighborhood? Or is it a nefarious plan to disarm them and therefore force them to leave? The houses they showed looked pretty dry and in pretty good condition. Now that looters know that the remaining citizens are disarmed they will have free roam of the remainder of the city.
Amazingly enough the New York Times has taken notice but without comment. According to their article private citizens are being disarmed, but not private security guards hired by businesses and wealthy citizens. Seems to me there’s a shitload of discrimination going on here — private citizens who can’t afford to hire a security company damn well ought to be allowed to protect their proprty and family with more than a baseball bat and harsh language.
