Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco:
"These are some of the 40,000 extra troops that I have demanded," Blanco said. "They have M-16s, and they're locked and loaded ... I have one message for these hoodlums: These troops know how to shoot and kill, and they are more than willing to do so if necessary, and I expect they will."
Excellent. It's a great idea to passively threaten really scared, really pissed off people with the threat of their own ACTIVE military forces.
