They have shoot-to-kill orders. It makes my stomach weak.

Sorry I know that's old news, but I just had to!

I see you're reverting back to your old ways of only posting in an effort to annoy and irritate others.

They're probably just tired and want to see their families if they can and sleep for a little while. It's been six days, after all.

I watched Entourage and The Comeback, which has gotten to be much better.
I haven't found a link for that yet. I was hoping maybe someone else knew.

With all due respect, I know people that have been volunteering on the search and rescue missions and are being shot at by people they cannot really see or directly in front of them. What are they supposed to do? They certainly cannot politely ask the gunmen trying to kill them for no good reason to stop or wait for the police

So, they have to shoot back and the reason they do is there is another elderly and/or disabled person in the next house waiting at this point on their last legs to be rescued. I hate this situation, but know of no other solution

Also and on another note, did you hear about the ballet teacher who organized several hundred (I think) doctors and volunteers and chartered several buses and on her own and with community donations and her own money - I also think she is a lesbian as they referred to her friend as her "partner," which would be ironic that a goddless lesbian beat the self described righteous, closer to God Christians in good deeds. But anyway, she and her posse have evacuated like a thousand people and given food and medical attention to many in Mississippi. Everytime another "official" told her to stop or that she could not do this, she just ignored them and now thousands have benefited. I mean if this woman can do this, what the hell took FEMA so long to feed, provide medical attention for, and evacuate the rescued people in NOLA and the people in the dome, much less those in Mississippi.
