- Speaking of the militia, do you all remember the riots and looting after the
- hurricane in Florida? Hum..now that you mention it, neither do I. What I
- do remember are television reports of people(civilians) patroling
- their neighborhoods with shotguns & rifles and working on their houses with
- guns near by. The reports usually had the people saying that the national
- guard had been by earlier in the evening and hadn't been seen since. Of
- course maybe they could have just called 911.
