Public executions would be a significant deterrent most likely. The offenders would be too worried about being embarrassed and disrespected by being brought front and center that they may shoot less people. In reality, shite like yesterday will never stop.

There has only been one person arrested in Watson, and he is the same one arrested at Istrouma High in February. The address where he lives and was arrested is in the Live Oak district, and he was allowed to go to school under the terms of his house arrest. Now LP sheriff is saying he has not been confirmed as a perpetrator in the mall incident, but had schedule II narcotics and a gun, so they took him in.


Been hard to keep up with this thread but is this really true? The Istrouma kid was arrested but has not been confirmed as being involved in the mall shooting?

It is true per LP sheriff. He has stated that the kid was arrested and is being held on drug and gun charges. News reports identified him as the kid from Istrouma. Ard also came back and clarified his participation in the mall incident is not completely confirmed.

There is speculation that he was booted out of Live Oak too, but I have not heard confirmation of that.

There would be more outrage if someone called one of these animals the n word than the actual shooting.

Start unpacking that and you realize how screwed we are.

I haven’t seen any updates. But as of last night one was arrested out in Watson. A Live Oak student?


yeah, this guy



He’s not a Live Oak student. He had been in the past then went to Istrouma

It is extremely odd that no one has released video of the actual shooting event inside the food court yet. If the actual shooter(s) are still at large, the public needs to know as well as help identify the suspect(s). We don’t even know at this time if the ones shot were all by the same gun.

This is evolving into a clusterfrick of epic proportions.

Public safety ranks well below "stoking racism".

The problems in BR have gotten significantly worse. In no metric, including traffic, has there been an improvement in the quality of life and safety. That has become a community problem, not an elected leader problem although they share some blame.


If we’re being honest it would be hard to change anything when almost half the population are leeches who pop out kids multiple times the rate of the tax paying population have the same voting privileges. You shouldn’t be able to vote without any skin in the game.

There are a lot of questions.

The carousel lady’s account does not support the “gang fight” premise, as she said one guy appeared to be turning in circles shooting at whatever he could. Frankly, I trust her story more than BR powers that be.

Not a single person injured fits a “gangbanger” persona, from what I have seen.

I have heard no witness speak much of a big altercation before the shooting.

Ard arrested the alleged shooter in Watson very quickly…which is actually pretty typical for LP. Then came back hours later and said it couldnt be confirmed that kid was involved, as he may have if told to back off —either to avoid “technicalities” getting a shooter off, or other reasons.

There are a lot of moving parts and its early. Lots of speculation. Sadly, BR law enforcement administration and legal system do not inspire confidence.

Thanks for explaining. That basketball interview with him caught me off guard. He was making eye contact with the interviewer and saying yes sir. I wouldn’t have pictured many gangbanger types doing that. Hope we get confirmation soon.

Do we have any of the names/descriptions of the other 4 arrested yet?

What a complete and total joke.

How does get expelled from one school, then get into another putting more kids at risk?

Get a GED and leave normal law abiding kids alone. Learn how to function in society on your own away from innocent students.

Edit: I read he may have gone from LO to Istrouma. Either way can you circumvent expulsion by switching parishes?

At the very least we should have a still frame of the person with the gun.

That commissioner / judge needs to be held accountable. He and those like him are the problem.

According to an article I just read, there were multiple people with guns. The four in custody aren't as of yet charged.

I am confused by this too.

I hope thats wrong…that he did not go straight from Istrouma to Live Oak after the first arrest. I have not seen definitive info that he was at Live Oak after Istrouma, just that his house arrest terms provided for him going to school. I kind of hope he wasn’t.

We need a reporter to challenge the “beef”.

Has there been a formal press conference?
