Didn’t Murphy Paul say there weren’t any gangs active in Baton Rouge.
“Nothing to see here “.
He said it at one of the press conferences they held to tell us how hard they were working to solve the murder of Allie Rice.

During the press conference after the drive buy in front of J Alexander's at the mall he admitted there were nine "groups" operating in the area and hid behind the technicality that I guess gangs have leadership and a well defined identity and I guess all we have are a bunch of idiots with semi automatic weapons who make youtube videos and think they're rappers.

The three ladies story has been a bore. Just a bunch of gossipping back and forth but for a little bit of action last night. Could've cut out of show and no one would've noticed.

Their only purpose is being the conduit to the Russian thieves storyline.

The friend of the actress who was from Texas also knew the mom from North Carolina and they have mutual friends, and didn't give up her phone like the NC family did. That's probably going to come back around in the finale too.

You should be able to swap a spell out when you level up but there's also an NPC that will let you (and your companions) respec if you need a more serious fix to your/their builds later.

Their mothers spontaneously gave birth while not having been pregnant because of the marigold. So without the marigold in the timeline, they're never born.

Tell that to the family in U Club whose house burned down BRFD arrived on scene literally two minutes after St. George FD.

If the house still burned down, it sounds like paying for two fire departments didn't really help much.

They will still get that same level of service when they are only paying for one fire department.

I'd find that hard to believe. I'm not sure how much the split will affect us, but we are down the road from a StG fire department that services our neighborhood.

Accidentally posted twice so edited to address this one: Your fire district did not change. If you were in the City of Baton Rouge and being serviced by the St. George fire district you still will be. If you were in the City of St. George and being serviced by the St. George Fire District, congratulations - you are no longer also paying for BRFD that you were never getting.

I am also interested in what the plan was or still is for that that long and narrow meandering piece of StG that kind of follows the river up to creating a very small shared boundary with Central.

Apparently creating a shared border with Central allows St. George and Central the option to partner together for services should they so choose in the future.

I thought Batin Rouge took Siegen back?

According to the map, Baton Rouge used Ward's Creek to get to Siegen and got Siegen from Perkins to Rieger, took the shopping center with the Wal-Mart and then used all of that to jump across the interstate and grab the Advocate.

So if the homeless are panhandling at the on/off ramps, or camping under the Overpass, that's Baton Rouge.

The map on the petition is final.

The map does not include the Mall of Louisiana, L'Auberge Casino and Siegen Marketplace, because those were annexed before the 2nd petition window.

The rest of them that waited until the 2nd petition effort or the passed vote and suddenly wanted out while StG was in litigation? Absolutely. But the stuff Kip got locked in during the 1st petition effort is still Baton Rouge.

Most of the areas that Baton Rouge grabbed were retail. It will be interesting if the new St. George group will try to give the Mall, casino, and Seigen Place sweetheart deals to keep them in the city.

None of that is being reversed - it was done before the vote to incorporate.

After the vote to incorporate passed, during the lawsuit window, there were additional businesses that applied to the Metro Council to annex. Any that were approved during that window will have to be walked back.

does St. George has standing to sue to restore the petition boundaries? BR gobbled up quite a few areas since the original vote.

I'm pretty sure those will be reversed, and once the new city government is up and running, those places will have to petition to leave St. George and get that approved to go back to being unincorporated, and then will have to re-petition BTR to annex them into their city.

They're genocidal supremicists who murder everyone who stands against them as they try to conquer the galaxy. "We don't want to kill people' is really 'We don't want to kill people, but we'll frickin do it if you make us, so if you want to live, don't make us.' I can't imagine there's a good trade off to any of that.

There is a big moral dilemma that the show is proposing, as far as Viltrumite rule. What would be the down side? I'm not sure about the conditions or what they want in return for being our rulers. But if they massively improve and advance civilization, why wouldn't we accept their rule?

Their proposal is 'recognize you can't win and surrender peacefully to enslavement, or we're perfectly happy to murder you all and strip your planet for parts, your choice'. They're not inviting Earth into an alliance. They're conquerors subjugating or extinguishing the weak, and the only reason they didn't show up blasting was they over-extended their Empire, and found it was a lot easier to send one Viltrumite to fringe worlds to soften it up to accept Viltrumite rule without a fight than to send their armies around forcibly invading everything from the get go.
