I had a friend that worked at a brokerage firm tell me one of their clients was an Amex Black Card holder and Amex sent a helicopter for him and his family.

Anyone remember the name of that lawyer that lived uptown or in the Garden District that stayed and went a little nuts after the storm? He went on the news shirtless and holding a shotgun and declared his house "The Independent Dutchy of (whatever his last name was)".

My Infantry squad ran across two security dudes here in New Orleans East on Chef Menteur:

Super 8 hotel street view

Guys were decked out in fun-time tactical gear and MP5's. They decided to play nice when 10 charging handles were pulled back simultaneously. Squad leader radio'd for me to come over and I brought a 7th precinct LEO with me. Dudes high tailed it pretty fast. New Orleans East was off limits for a long time until they opened up during the day for families to get whatever they could. These two clowns were there at night which made the situation even more fun as they ran across them on foot as their 998's were a couple of blocks away.

Ashton O'Dwyer, and it was more than "a little nuts." After being admonished for it, he kept referring to an AUSA as "spear chucker" in a pleading and then said he'd agree to the Court-ordered anger management classes if each of the federal judges went to "charm school." Needless to say, disbarred.
