New Orleans has a lot of "history". That Zach and Addie story just scratches the surface.
Finding a head on the stove and limbs with seasoning on them in the oven is pretty close to the top when it comes to New Orleans. It’s up there with the ax murders and the LaLaurie stories

I just finished the Southern Fried True crime podcasts on this last night. Excellent podcasts and in two parts. MUCH more details found in this than anywhere I’ve researched (other than the book).

Many law abiding citizens of New Orleans had their firearms confiscated, in violation of their 2nd Amendment rights.
Also, survivors at the Convention Center, growing desperate for water, shelter, etc, began to cross the CCC and were turned away to fend for themselves by Gretna Police.

I’ve posted this many times, during Katrina I was at the dome. There were no snipers on the roof, very few gunshots heard. When we went out for rescue, one of the areas was 9th ward, never heard gunshots. The few we did hear in other areas were people trying to get our attention 
ETA: I got there a day or 2, maybe even 3, after the hurricane, don’t remember exactly. I never saw snipers and nobody ever brought anything like that to my attention and I talked to several folks that were there within a day of the hurricane

A friend owns an aerial firefighting service based out of Montana using fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters. His company and others from throughout the US were brought in to help with the cleanup efforts and he brought his four Huey helicopters. He said initially they were taking fire from the ground, presumably from looters, and had to be escorted in by military choppers. One of their projects was removing coffins from the flooded graveyards and he said some of the caskets were so old they would fall apart during transport, exposing skeletons and some even came loose and hit the ground. He said it was a macabre sight.
My same friend posted this on Facebook last night:
"15 years ago today my crew members, fellow operators, pilots and myself hit the air and ground in New Orleans and Mississippi in support of relief efforts for Hurricane Katrina. I flew nearly every day for 10 weeks doing rescues, delivering food, supplies, sleeping bags, body bags, medicine and equipment, fighting fires in forest and urban environments, support missions for Homeland Security, setting power poles, retrieving burial vaults and caskets that floated away (DEMORT) and moving people. It was an amazing, humbling and gratifying mission. The power of support for all fellow Americans by Americans is unmeasurable. This is the greatest country in the world. ????. My heart goes out to all the people that are now affected by Hurricane Laura."

There is a gun range at the Baton Rouge Police Range they still call the Blackwater Range. It was built by Blackwater during Katrina for them to sight their rifles in and practice during Katrina. There were every Special Forces groups coming through there you can imagine. They were going back and forth to New Orleans to do whatever needed doing. Ask anyone in law enforcement about the Blackwater Range at BRPD and they will tell you the same story.

House, slab and all in the middle of the street.

I mowed the lawn at this house close to the entrance of Fort Bayou in Ocean Springs, MS, when I was younger. I was a single story brick home.
After Katrina, I went with my parents to check on neighbors in the area. All that was left of that house was a slab and concrete steps that led to nothing. There wasn't a single brick or piece glass left on the property. The slab looked like it had been swept clean.
In the same area, we saw furniture hanging in trees at least 25 feet in the air.

Willy Wonka created the chocolate factory, but then was taken for granite. The baby moon then rose over Nola and all was restored. The End.

I walked into the W Hotel on Poydras a week or so after the storm and was greeted by a Blackwater guy with a big arse gun.

Aaron Broussard in WWL radio being interview by Jake Dellovia, Vince Marinello, and the actor (whose name escapes me) when they asked him about Jefferson Parish. Broussard said he wrote on toilet paper while sitting on the toilet Jefferson Parish’s new disaster recovery plan call “Operation Snow Storm”.
He then goes off and starts rambling on about Nietzsche and Gandhi. Then goes off the reservation even further by admitting he was carrying his feces in a paper bag for some unknown reason.
He hangs up the phone and Dellevea says to Marinello who did tBroussard sound like in their disbelief and then all three said Bobby Hebert.
I wish that broadcast could be found as it is awesome.

One story I know is 99% true. My cousin was in the national guard then and was in NOLA to distribute food/water. He said they would drop off pallets of water at locations and gang members would come in shortly after they left to take it all. They couldn't do much because they were never threatened by the gangs. He said it really pissed them off watching innocent people not being able to get supplies. One day as they started driving off one gang decided to fire a few rounds at their truck. Truck stopped and they returned fire. No more gang problems in that area is all he said.

My house at the time was in Slidell, so I’m sure others saw much crazier stuff than me.
I remember Hammond was like a frontier town. Stopped there to eat a few times and the people in restaurants were as filthy and exhausted as me.
I went to the Sugar Bowl in January of 2007, and that was my first time back in the city for a while. The mall across the street from the dome still had some boarded up windows, caked dirt and mannequin parts on the floors, and dead plants in big planters. All this 16 months after the storm and in full view of a visiting crowd for the game.

This is a firsthand story of my experience, I don't remember exact day but I think it was the week of September 5th, 2005.
Myself, two buddies, and my brother were conscripted to go to New Orleans via a medical resident to clean up a Doctors small apartment complex in the quarter.
In Baton Rouge, the resident had us all dress up in scrubs so we could bypass the NG checkpoints. We made it through 2-3 checkpoints with only the resident providing ID. Driving through Uptown really nothing notable, through CBD we did see water line on some buildings and there was still some standing water in parking lots and low-lying areas.
We show up to Doctor's complex kind of NW side of Quarter, do not remember the location, but my first memory is seeing APC with NG squad walking on all sides down Rampart going Eastbound. We got inside, the apartment didn't sustain any significant damage, really just clearing debris from the courtyard and surrounding area.
We cleaned out 2-3 refrigerators. One smelled so bad we duck taped it closed and walked it out to the street. Some of the juice from the refrigerator leaked on my brothers pants and he had to take them off and throw them away immediately. Smelled that bad.
The Doctor tried to shortchange us at first, gave us each $100 bill and then gave my brother an extra $100 for the refrigerator incident. The resident found out and got us each an extra $100 each - that was a ton of money for college kids at LSU.
A good experience and something I'll remember forever.

There was a thread on here with someone claiming a "brother in law" story. IIRC thug gangsters were shooting at cops in the Superdome so her BIL took to shooting multiple people with a rifle he took out of the hands of military police officer or some shite. That thread was chock full of good stories and some absolute bull shite
Not sure about the truthfulness of the BIL taking a military rifle and firing back, but my podnah was high ranked military, and they had orders to return fire towards anyone who shot at or towards them - which is against state and federal law. Said they wouldn’t aim to kill, but would aim and spray over their heads to scare the frick out of the gangstas.

Just finished after seeing this post. Excellent podcast. It really does get deep into his past and really shows all the shite he'd been through and never really addressed or even attempted to deal with. That, and the fact that the girl he killed was also crazy as frick and pushed and manipulated him past his breaking point. Stole his apartment and just wouldn't shut up about him being a bisexual a d he snapped and choked her to death.
Incredibly sad and tragic story all around.
