There was at least one murder there, so...


No. The rumors in BR revolved around riots at the River Center downtown BR. They were very legit RUMORS nothing more. The women at my company were terrified and wanting to retreat to Livingston and Ascension parish at lunch.

I remember being at a party and maybe 20-30mins before midnight there were people starting to talk about how they were concerned about the power going out, etc and wondering if anything major was going to happen

I was younger but I remember my uncle (we were all at his house) flipping the breaker at midnight. It was pretty funny after everyone realized that it was a joke.

Gas shortages after 9/11. I actually fell into the trap and waited 30 minutes for gas.

My MIL believed until the end that Obama was going to declare martial law and not give up the presidency.

I was 24 and in Jackson Square drunk as the Dickens.
Nobody seemed worried about shite but the laser show and firecrackers.

He's talking about Baton Rouge. Yes the centroplex.

There were rumors non stop about evacuees rioting in downtown BR, people being shot in gas station parking lots, etc.

Again BR, not the nola convention center.

That he was unable to do so, does not make it a rumor. He expressed his goal to do so (always couched in political bullshite niceties) throughout his occupation of the presidency.

I had an ultra Christian teacher who would no longer allow his family to use P&G products after this. His daughter used to hide stuff like hairspray like it was contraband.

Kind of reminds me of the 80s Satanic Cults are running your kid's daycare center scare. This scare actually ruined lives. LINK
