[Hardrock69]

At least five people shot dead by police as they walked across a New Orleans bridge yesterday were contractors working for the US Defence department, according to a report by The Associated Press.
A spokesman for the Army Corps of Engineers said the victims were contractors on their way to repair a canal, the new agency said, quoting a defence Department spokesman.

The contractors crossing the bridge to launch barges into Lake Pontchartrain, in an operation to fix the 17th Street Canal, according to the spokesman.

The shootings took place on the Danziger Bridge, across a canal connecting Lake Pontchartrain to the Mississippi River.

Early on Sunday, Deputy Police Chief W.J. Riley of New Orleans said police shot at eight people, killing five or six.

No other details were immediately available.

How do you kill a few Americans??

Give them a few guns and wait!

On top of all the problems it now has, NO now has lawsuits to worry about. Wonderful.

A former FEMA guy on the news last night said it would take ten years, in his opinion, to totally bring New Orleans back to anything close to what it was before.

It's going to be a long time, with probably quite a few fuck ups along the way.

I figured it would take longer than that....

I am not so sure if they should bring the city back in the same location, but they will...
