OK, some woman who is a hair dresser for this lady I work with has a nephew who is on one of the local SWAT teams. This guy got sent to New Orleans and is camping out with a bunch of other SWAT guys in a Home Depot parking lot (now a base of operations from the sound of it). Any who, this guy supposedly reported back that they have killed 89 people so far. What you are supposedly not hearing from the media is that the two largest gangs in NO pooled their resources and are trying to take over the city Mogadishu style.
What do you think? I don't really have a hard time believing it. |
|
I think that is about as likely as me going down there to loot and pillage.
|
|
Crock of shit . I've been passing through New Orleans twice a day for the last 8 days . Never saw anything like that going down .
|
|
two of the largest gangs would never come together. one gang would eliminate the other and try and takes over the city for itself. i would say:
|
|
Something like that would have made it into a blog or something by now. Drudge, something.
|
|
A coworker's hair dresser's nephew? I'd classify that as high grade intelligence.
|
|
Sounds like BS, but Col. David Hunt said on O`rielly that gangs from other states came pouring in to loot and whatever else. He said the troops told him when it got dark it was worse than Bagdad.
|
|
I have friend who is flying a helo there. He says the Rangers are sniping them every night.
|
|
Extra valid if he's from south Florida. |
|
|
i came across something like this in a blog and wondered if it might actually be true. |
|
|
They're using Kiowa Warrior helos as spotters and thermal/NV. He says you just hear the shots go off every now and then. |

Sounds like a few JBT-wannabes have a lot of time on their hands.

dude, the proper term is "treasure hunting" |
|
|
I heard he was dead. |
|
|
... Why wouldn't you believe him |
|
|
Nephew, hair dresser? Dude are you retarded? Come on, thats not even a rumor! Its not even hearsay. |
|
|
True or false, they are hopelessly outgunned in the long run. Thinning the herd. |
|
|
Study the Crips and Bloods. Two of the biggest gangs in the U.S. who banned together in the nineties to fight the police. Street gangs combine resources quite often. This story is BS. All stories that orriginate by women in beauty shops are BS. |

The MSM and race-hustlers (Al / Jesse, Inc.) would love to report this story. It would fit the MSM agenda to make gun control a front-burner item by calling every ammo type ever made "cop killer bullets" and every gun that functions a "military assault weapon." They can argue that the continued presence of these devices in the hands of "civilians" will result in the mass killing of kidergarteners nationwide. The Dems will jump all over it and scare the sense out of the soccer moms. Al / Jesse, Inc. would dig it because it feeds their conspiracy bullshit that somehow Bush conjured up Katrina to destroy NO so the NG and .gov could go in and kill all the young black men in the city in the mop up. It would keep their fat faces in front of TV cameras and the coffers full of donations from guilty white liberals and the moonbat militant contingent of Black America. |

In the begining they were taking out 10-20 bad guys a day. Thats pretty muched ended, occasionally there is a ramdom shot, and if so SWAT is on the sence and you woun't want to be a BG in NO.
|
|
I heard, from my cat's brother, Carl, that drinking pop rocks and Jim Beam will make you see Jesus.
I believe it, Carl's never lied to me before. |
|
Not to debunk your info., but I also have an uncle who has a sister that got pulled over by a cop that's mother-in-law said that she was attacked by Nessie. |
|

|
Probably BS. Is she in south florida? Seems all the uber reliable super secret stuff comes from down here for some reason. |
|
|
I don't believe it.
Then again, me not believing it has nothing to do with it being true or not. |
|
Given the current situation WRT military units in NO (82nd, et al), it's highly unlikely that there'd be any organized street-gang takeover attempt...
I'd tend to believe the 'things are stabilizing' story much more, esp since there's now back-and-forth between the Feds & the state/local folks over re-opening the city (Nagin & crew want to let people back in soon, Feds say please don't)... |
|
Holy shit, I just spat my iced coffee on the keyboard! |
|
|
May be true, but my uncle's neighbor's son's cousin has a best friend who heard it from the door gunner on the NASA's new lunar rocket said that NO's dog population is the lowest it has ever been. |
|
|
What bothers me is that they ARE killing looters and people shooting at them....
but we never hear about it ...at least very little if anything. Essayons |
|
Did you see the video of the old lady with the gun they tackled?
|
|
Okay, jackass. My wife is a hairdresser and she almost never gossips. so don't go around saying ALL hairdressers are gossips because she doesn't and that's that!
As far as I know, this story is completely true. (based on my experience with hairdressers, YMMV) |
|
It's probably based in reality, but the numbers are probably skewed.
The real number is probably 87. |
|
Well hell then we (LEO's) better go down and disarm all the law abiding civilians with firearms trying to defend their homes. Not to hijack your post but with the retarded logic going on down there if its true about the gangs I really feel sorry for the poor schmucks down there trying to protect their familys and homes. |
|
|
'Worse than Baghdad'??? How many LEOs and National Guardsmen have been 'gunned down' by these roving bands of armed gangs? Why are we NOT hearing those numbers on the Nightly News? It sure would go a long way in explaining why the CHiPs and the National Guardsmen are confiscating the weapons from law-abiding citizens, wouldn't it? Or would it? Baloney. Pure homemade baloney! And baloney doesn't sell well in South Louisiana. Eric The(AndouilleDoes)Hun |
