I didn't know AMR ran an EMS service in New Orleans? I thought it was Acadian?

Don't worry. We don't need gun control

Why didn't the Gestapo shut the city down? Go house to house? Because the gangs in New Orleans would have shot back and those Southern boys wouldn't leave their house at gunpoint so easily...unlike Boston, there are places in New Orleans that the police won't go without a heavy presence...and even then, it better be for a good reason.

This is gang related because its not running non stop on main stream media. This wasn't staged like the others. And 5:33, gun control won't stop thugs and criminals from getting guns, no different than it stops them from getting drugs. News flash: criminals don't follow laws, that's why they're criminals. You gotta be some spoiled, sheltered, skinny jean wearing trendy that voted for Obama with that line on bass ackwards thinking. I read through you're meager sarcasm.

If all law abiding citizens were to be allowed to carry, this would not have happened to this extent, if at all.

I agree with the one who said it wasn't blaring on the news because it wasn't staged... or had anything to do with gun control...

The gangs probably did this, and they think that criminals will follow gun control and this proves otherwise, so as the poster above said, it is NOT all over the news...

All I want to know is, what else has to happen, when else doesn't have to happen before you all will realize they want to control us like slaves, they being the govt...

933, you're right. You would have had 2-3 times as many wounded once the melee insued!
