I caught part of an interview with the NO mayor:
It seems that LA/NO law does not provide for "martial law"...the legal wording doesn't exist. The correct term apparently is "State of Emergency" and the NO mayor said the possibility exists that civil rights could be suspended today under the provisions of the SOE.
Stand by for a can of whoop-ass to be opened by the NG. They may start to get the situation under control. I also caught an interview on FOX News with a displaced resident outside the Superdome who reported shootings and a rape, and that was only what he saw.
