RR That is a good question and the police chief apologized and said it was cowardly for him to pull the police off the streets in that area one time but there are many other riots and you haven't responded to my question on rioter's having M-16s as I wrote below? Are you trying to duck the issue by changing the question? Re: Katrina - The exception is not the rule, a tiny few police might have been doing what you say the rest were not. Do you suggest eleminating the police because of the inevitablity of a few bad apples and let the rioters with M-16s take over? Bottom lines are that CELAC, Venezuala, China, Viet Nam, Brazil. etc are geting stronger vs the captalist OAS, Europe, USA, etc are getting weaker. You yourself said manufacturing is never coming back to America or have you changed your mind? Think, think, think before posting.

That's not what they get paid for. During Hurricane Katrina the police were going around robbing and killing people. As I said socialism is, by definition, a totalitarian government. The government owns the means of production which means if you want a job then you have to get it from the government. You have to get food and water from the government. You have to get medical care from the government. You are not allowed to defend yourself but must rely on the government to protect you and if they don't then you're out of luck. That sure sounds like slavery to me. If you want to be a slave then good luck with that but count me out.

JS What's your response if the rioters had M-16's? Those LA riots is an excellent reason why we need gun controls or is that not logical? How can you tell who is going to be a rioter and who is not? Haven't you noticed I am pretty much up on news so what makes you think I didn't know about the LA riots? What half of my stuff doesn't follow logic? Your case has just been un-rested sheepie, is that better? I try to be an interesting guy to dialog with, how am I doing? (from late Mayor Koch). Think, think, think before posting.

Nobody ever said gun ownership would have stopped a full blown blitzkrieg by a professional army. What it might have stopped was Hitler and his thugs when they were just a street gang. A perfect example is the Korean store owners during the L.A. riots. The pictures of them standing on their rooftops with M-16's at the ready wasn't lost on the rioters. NONE of their stores was looted. I rest my case. But then you probably never heard of the L.A. riots since you can't seem to absorb anything in print you disagree with. And by the way, don't waste airtime by calling me a smuch or idiot or anything else. It only reveals a disgusting ignorance.
