Watching news coverage of the refugees trying to enter the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans for safety from the approaching force-five Hurricane Katrina, I was incredulous how the people attempting to enter the stadium were being treated by the national guard troops and local police. The people were made to stand for hours outside in the awful Louisiana climate while they were admitted one or two adults at a time so they could be searched "for firearms and alcohol."
... The lamp of freedom has been blown out by force-five bureaucrats, their sycophants and their head-embedded media enablers who will insure that it will never get re-ignited. For our own good, of course.

The Louisiana Superdome of Shame
I posted about National Guardsmen disarming Superdome refugees on Sunday, relying on hastily transcribed notes. Here's confirmation and commentary from, of all places, Pravda:

Dave Duggan's article that you linked to at Pravda was also posted today on LewRockwell.com.
Once knew a Russian that moved here before the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Surprising all of us, he always maintained the hardest thing for him to get used to here was how much power a street cop had. He said he saw things in NYC that would not have been tolerated in the USSR and that he literally was terrified the first two years he lived here. All of it fear of the cops.
We had a hard time believing him, but I am convinced he was sincere. Don't have anyway to judge whether he was accurate, but he was definitely sincere.
