Mitch just requested 100 LSP Troopers to be assigned to patrol the FQ. Wow. Way to admit you don't have control of things.


What if the state gave New Orleans 1% off state sales tax in order to raise the city tax and yet keep the rates the same. Is a special district tax rate like this possible?
I wonder how much that would cost the state?
But whatever the number is would be money going to the city and less money need from state coffers.

That's not an entirely stupid suggestion given that the tourism in NOLA is so important to the state.

Are there prominent leaders in NO community that people listen to? There comes a point where the leaders of the say the NO Black community need to say enough and put an end all the violence. They need that figure to stand up and stop the violence. The people committing these crimes obviously don't care for Law Enforcement or the government.

Don't start a major news thread just so you can be "first" to post it if you can't update the OP. douche.

Yeah dude, don't you know you have a sacred obligation to the OT to keep all your threads regularly updated. Should've cancelled that fishing trip - sucks but sacrifices must be made

It's only expected for major news stories. People on here always trying to be the first to post big news. Guess it makes them feel good?

Regardless any shooting in nola where 10 people are shot is major news much less 10 folks on bourbon st. Usually the admins do a decent job of updating the OP themselves if the OP is lacking.

So he's supposed to update every POS detail that emerges after he starts a thread?

Good thing he didn't start that thread about the missing airplane.

Wannabe admins are worse than real admins.

Australian women describes her injuries. This is just horrible.

quote:

Matthews said she was aided by two U.S. Marines, one of whom removed his shirt to help stanch her bleeding.

"I was trying not to freak out too much, and the Marines were trained in that, so they were keeping my mind off those thoughts," she said. "They were making jokes and telling me how I was handling it better than most of their Marine friends would have. They definitely helped."
props to these guys.

she wrote her thesis paper at the University of Western Australia on gun use in the United States in the wake of more school shootings in America.

"Because of last year, and all the little kids who were shot, I thought something would definitely be done," she told the newspaper. "But it just shows you how embedded the whole gun culture is in the U.S.

"This won't deter me from coming back. But it makes me angry that the government can't be strong enough to say, 'No, something needs to be done.'"


though the people who shot her would have guns even if they were illegal and in a gun free zone.
