Latoya is closing them all throughout the pandemic. They couldn't follow her rules.

Bye Bye Willie's

Cantrell: All Willie's Chicken Shacks closed through pandemic after violating COVID-19 restrictions

According to mayor LaToya Cantrell, Willie's Chicken Shack violated the noncompliance coronavirus restrictions set in place Saturday morning.


Thought this was the place on Coursey in BR before I saw LaToya

People need to start suing

I passed a daiquiri shop Saturday night where everyone was in the parking lot, probably 20-30 people

Same. They were going inside and ordering beer and shots to go and sitting in, on, and around cars in the parking lot. Seemed pretty brave to me

And this is being done in the name of public safety right?

Yet they still allow folks to protest in mass?

Does New Orleans still have protests? If so, they’re certainly not as big as they were.

Willie's needs to be the hero we all need right now. Just tell her to frick off and operate as usual.

The video hardly shows "large crowds" on Bourbon.

Wondering if someone eventually files a lawsuit to challenge this.

Or if there is no grounds.

I'm torn. This is a BS rule, and yet, I'm not sad to see places like this shut down, places like this are a stain on the city, even in the best of times.

The fact that I have to defend Willie's really pisses me off, but I think I do have to.

You can defend the concept of a business operating a certain way without supporting that business or its owners.

It would be hypocritical of you to say that all businesses should be open except for Motwani-owned businesses.

How in the frick are drive thru daiquiri sales a COVID spreader? Why would she shut that down in the midst of summer?

I seriously think she just wants to quash any fun and to make people miserable.

None of this is new, and we have plenty of lawyers in the state.

Fact is, these governors / parish presidents / mayors have an obscene amount of emergency power.

The way to fix this, unfortunetly, is to elect better politicians who won't be this extreme, and/or in the future, limit emergency powers. Just because these executives have this much power now, doesn't mean it can't be regulated in the future. But that will need to come from the voters / the councils/legislatures, not the courts.

They always start with something you don't GAF about. Then they move onto the stuff you do care about and you don't have a leg to stand on. Just like the 2 dead bodies that she has ignored for the last 10 months.
