Wait....that was when * was prez......nevermind...

Faux didn't tell me that!



You Think You Know?DURING HURRICANE KATRINA, ELITE WATCHED
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Martial Law Orchestrated During Hurricane Katrina is but a Practice Run for Criminal Global Elitists to Hone Their Crowd Control and Suppression Skills.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

During Hurricane Katrina, we saw government agencies that were completely inept. Many Americans, were left helpless in this Hurricane's embrace. Our government doesn't care.

We saw people being killed or herded up like cattle and placed in vile situations, such as the one inside the Louisiana Super Dome. We saw the military going door-to-door and ordering people out of their homes.

And if those people happened to be defending their homes with a gun, the soldiers took those guns away. What we saw during Hurricane Katrina was a pre-cursor to the martial law that the criminal elite planning their New World Order would love to unleash on Americans wholesale.

DON’T CARE WHAT HAPPENED DURING HURRICANE KATRINA
'FEMA is not going to hesitate at all in this storm. We are not going to sit back and make this a bureaucratic process. We are going to move fast, we are going to move quick, and we are going to do whatever it takes to help disaster victims.'
- FEMA Director Michael Brown, 8/28/05

1. That was a massive shitshow of government ineptitude
And those seizures, along with the murders, were completely illegal.

I'm really not sure what you are trying to say here, but I don't think you have succeeded in communicating anything intelligible.

3. You are correct, the New Orleans debacle
is a text book example of the Government ineptness at every level.

2. If I remember correctly, the military units were from the
Louisana National Guard acting under the orders of the Governor of the State of Louisana. And If I remember correctly the gun confiscation order was issued by the NOPD under the orders of the Mayor of the City of New Orleans.

4. And some firearms were taken away from civilians in their homes ...
having seen numerous tropical storms and a hurricane, it's reassuring to have the means to respond to a criminal threat if necessary.

Police are rather busy during a hurricane or a tropical storm and may not respond if the winds are too high.

Firearms were always part of my storm prep along with water and non perishable food.

7. At least in some of the videos, confiscation was carried out by California State Patrol.
They brought in civilian law enforcment from all over. Those weren't soldiers that I can recall.

10. Some California Highway Patrol, some DEA, some Oklahoma Nat'l Guard, possibly others.
Most of the units on-scene (both civilian and Guard) had the common sense and legal knowledge to say "hell no" to the confiscation order, but some units were ignorant enough to actually take it seriously, or else just didn't care whether it was a lawful order or not.

5. Makes me glad that federal and state laws were passed..
.. that prohibit such action being taken again.

(I view the whole 'new world order' thing with a baseball-sized lump of salt, though.)

8. If you think those on the right-wing didn't care about what happened during Katrina...
... merely because there happened to be a Republican in the White House at the time, you have not been paying attention for the past four and a half years.

9. A DEMOCRAT declared "martial law"
It was Mayor Ray Nagin, a Democrat who declared "martial law" despite there being no provision under LA state law for martial law. Nagin did have the authority to declare a state of emergency and stated that law enforcement did not have to observe civil rights or Miranda rights in stopping the looters.
