Louisiana officials want military to fight urban war in their city.

Austin Badon
contacted Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal’s office Monday and asked that
the National Guard be deployed. Jindal’s office said Badon was told that
any such a request would have to come from the New Orleans mayor Mitch
Landrieu.

Under Article I, Section 8, Clause 15
of the Constitution, the National Guard – considered a state militia –
is authorized to “execute the laws of the Union and suppress
Insurrections and repel Invasion.” The Constitution says nothing about
dispatching the military to fight domestic crime, a task usually
undertaken by local law enforcement.


Since the National Defense Act (or Militia Act) of 1903, the federal government has worked to absorb the National Guard and take control of it away from the states. In 2007, the John Warner Defense Authorization Act
moved to remove state governors as sole commanders in chief of their
state’s National Guard during emergencies within the state.

We simply do not have enough teeth in our laws and punishment. When we finally wake up and make the commission of a crime with a firearm be a capital crime with the death penalty and then employ the death penalty crime will only get worse. All of our big cities are concrete jungles inhabited by animals. But even ultra conservative government will never do it.

Perhaps if the Government would quit feeding the "animals" and they had to work for their supper they wouldn't have time for crime. Oh I know they would then riot and start killing, well then you could legally bring in the National Guard and mop up the mess. You either let it flame up and burn out or let it burn on steady and for a long long time.
