When will the powers at LSU say enough is enough and start holding the current administration’s feet to the fire. Just good ole shoot out 100 yards from LSU property and main roads to campus. It’s gotten completely out of hand and LSU will start
To suffer guaranteed


I've said before that I think the only thing that would really make them pay attention is if LSU fans get mad enough about this to stop giving to the football program.

Yes, this has nothing to do with football, but football is the biggest moneymaker for the school and anything that threatens to dry up that gravy train would get people to take notice.

Football is a huge moneymaker for BR, in general. We are season ticket holders and host a huge tailgate for all home games. This is money going into grocery stores/caterers and hiring bartenders & setup/tear down people.

Half the people in our tailgate group are from at least an hour away. These are people spending the weekend in BR and dropping their money here. Dinner on Friday night, merch for the kids, etc. The allure of LSU sports is that it's supposed to be a very family friendly weekend.

They will not keep traveling here if it's not safe for their families.

It’s coming. Being shot at on the interstate is “normal” in Baton Rouge per the cops. Get shot if a train catches you. Drag racing and doughnuts shutting down main thruways. It literally has crumbled and no one to blame but democrats.
