Listening to the news regarding the recent destruction of New
Orleans, Louisiana and neighboring states, and hearing the
stories of rape, violence, and other atrocities at such a time
of need for all of the victims of hurricane Katrina, I believe
it is time that ?Marshal Law? was declared. There should be no
tolerance at all for any form of criminal activity. And, anyone
observed committing a violent act upon another should be shot on
sight. I know, I sound quite the extremist don?t I? But, give
this matter a little thought. You are a young girl o woman. You
have just lost everything you knew in your world. You are
fatigued, hungry, and possibly sickly. And, some sick creep
decides to rape you. What would you feel inside if you were her?
Would you still find reason to live? Can you imagine the
nightmares every one of those people will have to face in their
futures, just as victims of the hurricane? Think of the
additional nightmares subsequent to being a victim of violence
from your fellow man. I think the states respective Governors
should declare ?Marshal Law? and start dropping armed military
throughout the area with instructions to ?shoot to kill? anyone
observed committing an act of violence against another, until
all of the hurricane victims have been rescued. There is
absolutely no excuse for toleration of such an act of abuse. The
Governor?s may not be able to transport all the people out
immediately, or get food and water to them all immediately. But,
there is no excuse for not sending the military in to protect
those people immediately. Is it possible that nobody as of yet
has considered dropping small military units with supplies and
tents throughout the area, having each unit set up a ?Command
Center? to temporarily house, treat, and protect these people.
Doing so would probably save numerous lives. Has any
consideration of sending the Navy to the beach working inland to
where water meets the land? I consider myself a realist. Getting
those people out of the area to safe haven and care logistically
has to be a nightmare unto itself. But, getting the military in
to the area to protect and at least police the area is nowhere
near as difficult. I know that if my family was in there now,
waiting for rescue, and nobody was doing anything to protect
them from the animals around them; I would be quick to try to
get in there myself. God bless those trying to help others. And,
may your soul rot in hell if you are victimizing another,
stealing, or abusing anyone in any way.
