BC-
In a situation like this, 3 day old news is not news at all: The Governor made it clear that he does not have this authority; The City Attorney made it clear that he does not have this authority; the NG and NOPD have repeatedly stated that they have no time for such actions.
This is tantamount to claiming there are firearms confiscations going on nationwide, based on a wish list reported from Feinstein. We need to be a bit above such knee jerk rumor mongering.
WC-
It might be "wrong"; it might not. If your next door neighbor refused to leave their home despite the fact that it was in danger of falling on yours, would your town have a right to remove that person and stabilize the structure?
Look....IF NOLA was actively removing everyone they find from the city, by dragging them off the streets and from their homes, I'd be right with you in indignation. Fact of the matter is that they are not doing so.....in fact, the NOPD, volunteers and NG are now doing a great job.
I find it interesting that some of the same people who were arguing that NOLA turned into a port are now moaning about the govt treatment of people who "have a right" to stay in their homes despite a Public Health crisis.
