re: City of New Orleans, contractors sued by seven victims of 'preventable' Bourbon attack

They apparently had hostile vehicle mitigation devices in their inventory and failed to deploy them.

Those, when placed appropriately, would have prevented him from getting that truck on the sidewalk where the main body of citizens were.

That’s a pretty big frick up.

This. If your own policy says that you should do x and y, i.e. put up portable barriers or a larger vehicle like a dump truck, and you just roll an SUV in there and call it a day, you're opening yourself up to a gross negligence claim, I'd think.

Look at you with your "its societies fault"...

Dems do dumb stuff like blaming those who werent involved, just like youre doing.

Retarded populists always want a pound of flesh, just not from the perp.

I’ve known the owner of “Hard Rock Construction” and several of his top foreman etc…. i will just say his first name “Mr. Carl”

He originally started out at one time living in his pickup truck and came from the ground up and. whine humble beginnings.

a True American success story, he currently owns a Million+$$ House in Timberlane across the street from “Bobby Guidry”, Louisiana Mafia Bobby! “Hard Rock’s house looks like a Miami 5.0 type house”

anyways. i won’t mention full names with Hard Rock, but i can say that at least back in the day when i was around him more, he seemed to be a decent to good guy: but who knows how major success changes anyone?

most of his workers love or like him back in the day, he used to pay for company vacations to the mountains in Tennessee & would give the wives nice presents like Louis Vuitton purses etc…. and leave the presents on their bedroom beds at the resort for whe. they arrive.

Hard Rock over the years got their foot into the door of NOLA contracts and that usually usually means he may have had another side to him because you don’t do biz in NOLA in Construction on that level w/out backroom dealings.

Trivia for ya: Hard Rock fixed that major sink-hole on Canal St. years ago.

This happenings of the Terror deal could fold him like a cheap tent & he has super deep pockets!

There is ZERO REASON those barricades should not have been engaged and in full force.

the sidewalk could have still been open for a truck to sneak thru, but if you’ve got barricades up like they are supposed to, then you park your NOPD cars blocking the sidewalks.

ESPECIALLY FOR HOLIDAY & Sugar Bowl crowds.

I was jumped on that block as a teenager, got crow-hopped with a baseball bat by some “Dindu’s Nuffins” and woke up in charity Hospital a day later with a shattered cheek bone and major concussion. There was a restaurant camera that caught it all. some cowards from the projects being racist and jumped 2 white boys, that’s what it boiled down to.

Nothing good ever happens at “Canal & Bourbon”, i tell everyone visiting or tourist i see to stay away from the last couple blocks on bourbon and towards Canal.

as for the victims. I HOPE THEY GET EVERY PENNY THEY CAN!!!!

And if that means bankrupting all involved. so be it!

and for some insider knowledge, that driver could have done even worse damage had he come the other side of Bourbon thru the “Rainbow Doatrict side”, he could have maybe been able to drive in impeded much longer and created even more casualties. They never have those barricades up except for
around that 3-4th block area. and good things the construction projects ALWAYA LAST SO LONG, otherwise that excavator or crane that stoped the muslim POS would not have been there. and we could have had at least fitness casualties!

I hope this finally puts enough heat on TEEDY the Mongloid and the Feda put it together with all the laws she has broken and corruption and send that scumbag to prison!

as for Mer. Carl and Hard Rock, if they were negligent, then they should pay to the fullest extent like all involved!

you are too liberal and stupid to understand the bigger picture of tourism, so I'm not even going to attempt to explain it to you.

... one important aspect is starting to surface ...

The donation money for the victims ...

the "power that be" are trying really, really hard to funnel it all to one source --- that city Philanthropy Center on Lee Circle

Trying to mesh it together with Salvation Army, red cross, catholic charities, etc. etc.

one big money bag

saying that if you get your donations through this you will not be taxed like "go-fund-me"

Make no mistake , they want very dollar to be had

It's dem to be sue happy and want to get a quick payday.

I don't see how the contractors are legally liable for barricades not being in place. The contractor constructs the bollards. Once constructed the city takes ownership. If the bollards are defective then that is on the city inspectors if they didn't do their job, or the contractor if responsible. If the city decided to remove the bollards until new ones could be put in, then again, that is the city's job to put in place substitute safety protections that are sufficient to meet the stated goal.

Not sure how the contractors are at fault here, unless they never finished the project and never put up temporary bollards, assuming temporary protection was spec'd out by the owner (the city).

Seems like it's the govt that should be on the hook. Stating they had materials that were recommended to prevent what happened and didn't do it.

On camera stating she didn't know they had them, but did.

Doesn't seem like a contractor fault.

I hope they take every cent from that hell hole.

Contractors are handling public safety?
