I still say that if they shot the looters and thugs that are causing the most trouble they could reduce crime in New Orleans (once the city is back on its feet) but 75%. The guys that are roming around like gangs, trying to break into the Cheildren's Hospital, shooting at Docotors that are tyring to get in to help people, etc. are probably the same thugs that commit most of the crime in the Big Easy.

I can understand folks needing food, water and even clothing (if I had to have a clean shirt that didn't have sewage water on it, I might go for a jersey too) but the general lawlessness has got to stop. They can't get the relief they need because aid workers are too scared to go in there are being shot at.
