Police are shooting Army Corps of Engineers employees?
I heard a report of this on WWL of this happening, is this related to the 8 armed "looters" shot earlier today?

saying on CBS right now. NO Police shot at Army Corp of Engineers in a case of mistaken idenity...thought they were looters. Sounds like it is the same 8"looters"

6. They need to get Blackwater security out of there!
I have no doubt in my mind these are the people running around in black masks. We don't need $1000.00 a day mercs implementing their form of law and order in NO.

to kill??? For taking some frigging STUFF? I'll be damned.

2. It looks that way...
I'm not sure who to blame for the hysteria, the press or the administration.

7. Things are seriously f*cked in New Orleans.
I would not normally ever say that word, but things are just so FREAKING BAD in New Orleans that no other word fits.

CNN now reporting that NO police have killed Army Corps of Engineers guys.

11. CBS update on Shooting
Edited on Sun Sep-04-05 05:30 PM by CC
Corrected to Army Corp was shot at on bridge. The gunman was shot and the Army Corp Engineers are ok. Not on website yet though.
