I’m not talking about the median area. It’s the sloped concrete sides where they’re setting up camp.

If that’s shite, I’m impressed they did it in a sandwich bag with no smearing…

That place has only been open 8 months and this has been a problem for years. Really all of O'Neal has turned into a shite hole.

They aren’t injecting weed into their veins needles. This is a heroin/fentanyl issue.

Yeah, you know the homeless always congregate around the stores with overpriced THC gummies.

They need to make giant billboard pictures of those needles with the caption "This is what your donation is being spent on" and put them all up and down the interstate. Maybe Gordon can donate a few of his.

Baton Rouge’s litter problem is infuriating.

Or Jackson.
Or Birmingham.
Or Montgomery.

Basically any major city in the south has these issues in the poorer parts of town.

We shouldn’t have to live in a nation where this is tolerated.

Many of these blighted areas should be the highest rent parts of town due to various factors but are in practice uninhabitable due to crime and homelessness.

There should be a police officer looking out over that area all day long. Writing tickets for littering, ordering, drug possession, etc. If we can’t forcibly move them out, we should harass the shite out of them.

They clean up I10 at Siegan every 3 or 4 months and it's always look at how many bags and needles and junk we picked up. It's a homeless problem.

That is actually a good idea...create a position where all they do is go from interstate overpass to interstate overpass within the parish and there one job is to keep people out from under there. Drive them into the woods for the black bears to eat.

The dope heads are gonna get high with donations or not, they will find a way.

We have one in our family that hasn't worked in five years but finds drugs every freaking day, it's amazing.

Obviously it wasn't just a SWB problem, "Coach" isn't doing shite to make things better. What an abject failure he is turning out to be.


Actually now that you mentioned it I can't think of anything he has acomplished since being elected.
