But in an astonishing interview with Lee Zurik of WAFB’s sister station WVUE-Fox 8, Independence Police Chief Frank Edwards said he had not concluded an investigation was needed. “I’m not aware of an investigation. ... I don’t mean to be crass, but under the circumstances those numbers (at least four dead) do not strike me as being unusual,”

Edwards said. “I’m not apologizing for anyone. I was there, and I wouldn’t have wanted my mother or grandmother to be in those conditions. I just don’t think with the resources I have right now that an investigation would be the best way of using them.” LDH says it sent an inspector to the facility on Tuesday, Aug. 31 after receiving numerous complaints and reports about reports of “deteriorating conditions” at the facility after Hurricane Ida made landfall.


I wonder if Mr. Dean’s various entities make significant campaign contributions?

Where’s FEMA? What the frick is Biden doing? People are dying. Is Biden abandoning the people of Louisiana the way he’s abandoned Americans in Afghanistan?

This has nothing to do with the feds. This is a local and state issue. Stop sky screaming.

If you’ll look way up in the sky you’ll see something flying rapidly over your head… that thing is the joke.

I posted that because you know had the election last Nov gone differently this story would have already gone national and the media angle would be how the president is doing nothing and people are dying as a result.

According to the OT, if you can’t prepare or evacuate, you are useless.

When the Republicans held the White House EVERYTHING was Bush's fault. This time it has nothing to do with the Feds?

Really sad. Mostly poor and lonely old folks, probably the most vulnerable population, herded like animals by the very people who are tasked with and paid for their care. Elder abuse like this needs to result in jail time.

All seven facilities where residents were sent from

are all owned or associated with Bob Dean, a Baton Rouge businessman.

The WBRZ Investigative Unit uncovered Dean recently filed a lawsuit related to a dispute about the purchase of a Rolls-Royce. It has since been settled outside court.


I hope the families take him for every penny he has & the state takes away his licenses but we all know insurance will settle & the state will do nothing other than maybe put some administrator in jail who ends up taking the fall for the owner
