I'm really confused though how neither the reporters or troops seemed to think about the constitutionality of what they're doing.

I'm not thinking the fundamental problem is with government protecting us, I'm thinking the fundamental problem is when government flagrantly exceeds its authority.

Fat lot of good the guns they had did them when troops came with M16's to take their guns, huh?

BTW, I wonder if there's footage of Blackwater troops doing this? That's much more legitimate, since they're making a profit off sticking M16's into the faces of hurricane survivors. No constitutional problems there, they're just exercising their right to bear arms against their fellow citizens. Not their fault Uncle Sam is picking up the tab at the end of the day.

Man, I just keep thinking of Nazi Germany...

And it's all for your protection!!!

How could it ever be deemed necessary to point your gun at someone that is doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ILLEGAL - just staying in their own home?

This boils my blood. Let someone try to take my gun from me when I've done nothing but sit in my home.

They (the victims) should have sued the fucking city.

And the National "Guard" setting up base camp in the church?
So, you couldn't get a hold of the pastor, so you just let yourselves the fuck in?
EVER HEARD OF A FUCKING TENT?!?!
And you left a note? How sweet of you. Too bad notes don't cover the fucking bills I'm sure the parish had to pay to get your nasty boot prints cleaned up off the carpets.

GOD I hate the National Guard. The worst fucking troops this nation has. Piss poor training, even worse discipline, and absolutely no idea how to behave like a military unit.

You can bet your ass that if any one had shot a couple of those soldiers there would be hell to pay.

If the soldiers didn't kill them in vengeance.

Probably important to point out that those aren't soldiers. There were a lot of Blackwater goons there too.

A story I heard, totally anecdotal, probably untrue...

Many businesses were price-gouging during the Katrina catastrophe, if they weren't outright looted. One grocer stayed open and sold what he had at regular price and was only able to do so because there were several employees with shotguns in plain sight. Blackwater arrived and took the weapons. Within an hour the place was ashes.

I'd be doing a little cold, dead fingers myself probably. If there was ever an occasion to need a gun, after all.

This is exactly what will happen when they disarm the people as a whole.

This is extreme, but the guys with shotguns should have shot the blackwater goons.
