  1. I have this nice mental image of an impoverished Chief Memaw pushing a shopping cart filled with all her possessions heading for her cardboard box under the overpass.

    Of course, that’ll never happen, and that’s shameful.

  2. By the time all the coming lawsuits will be resolved and awards set, New Orleans will be so far in debt there will be no way out unless a Leftist becomes President and Executive Orders a major free grant to cover it.

  3. Meh. They all have Officers and Executives insurance paid for by the City to protect them from personal liability.

    The only people who will pay are the taxpayers.

    The only people that will profit will be lawyers.

  4. “The only people that will profit will be lawyers.”

    And that’s my point. And next voting cycle the big sleazy will elect even more DEI morons. There’s no lessons learned when the attorneys get involved. The discussions all turn to white noise. I hate attorneys. Cept for Wyatt. LOL

  5. “I hate ambulance chasers.”

    Although I am of the same frame of mind, this is probably the only way that a thorough unbiased objective investigation can take place, and if negligence occurred, there should be consequences.

    Bankrupting the city may be the only way to eliminate those leftists who run it.

    I’ve been involved in a few “incidents” where the state paid out money, not for any actions of my part, this is just standard, throwing them a few bucks.

    But we have seen civil rights actions filed against cops for egregious breaches, actions that went beyond their qualified immunity and landed them in prison (Rodney King, to name one). This is how change occurs, this is how you shine a big fucking light on the inequity and unfairness of shielding public officials from the consequences of their actions.

  6. “this is probably the only way that a thorough unbiased objective investigation can take place, and if negligence occurred, there should be consequences.”

    True. I was coming at it from the angle of educating, opening the eyes, of the electorate. Which is a probably impossible anyway. Sad.
    In related news, I did some quick grocery shopping for the week end on Friday. Among the items we needed was Syrup. I usually purchase whats on sale. As I did that night. I came home and showed the wife the container that read “Pearl Milling”. I asked her, you know what brand this is. “Nope”. It’s the old Aunt Jemima. She’s still in shock. A good laugh for me. I’m confident in the fact that the only people that were bothered by the name Aunt Jemima were white.

  7. Expect to see more of the same as the open border BS keeps hitting the financial fan, sucking tax dollar away from protection for citizens and giving it away to invaders. This is thanks to democrats dumb policies.

  8. During the Katrina debacle I had a friend that was sent there in with his military unit, what a cluster.
    Ended up staying by an auto repair shop and when he was out on patrol they came back the shop was being robbed by the police. They put a stop to it.
    Both sides were firing shots over each other’s heads and the police got out of there. I’m sure he would rather have just shot them, but that would have made a big stink.

  9. “We at the FBI and NOPD wish to express our deepest regrets that non-white people were hurt or killed in the incident. We are firmly committed to investigating this crime with the finest team we can put together of people who are not straight, white males. And given that the truck involved was a Ford and Henry Ford was a straight, white male, we are counting this as an act of white supremacist domestic terror.”
