An upside of the airhorns at graduations is that they obscure the noise of the fighting in the stands.

Just shows you how much EBRSS really cares about students. It’s threats for people to vote no. They are pieces of shite.

Will St. George also let students from North BR attend their schools for free following the split? (Of course not, nor should they.) I mean either its two school systems or its not. I don't understand the frustration with this other than kids cant continue to the same high school as their friends, which was never guaranteed anyways.

Moar Billboards!

Louisiana law requires you to have passed the bar to engage in attorney advertising so statistically unlikely southern grads are the cause of the billboards.

Even after Northwestern State announced they were seeking to open a law school in that part of the state last year, southern also announced they have voted to establish a law school in Shreveport.

SHREVEPORT, La. (KTAL/KMSS) – The Southern University Board of Supervisors has unanimously approved a resolution to create a law school in Shreveport.

---

Assuming both schools follow through, this will leave Louisiana with six law schools.

I suppose there’s a need for professionals in Shreveport, maybe a lot of oil and gas work, but this state does not need a six law schools or a second Southern law school. Hopefully it will just relocate the Baton Rouge law school campus to try and start over from scratch in Shreveport.

No, the stamp is still allowed in the law so that I can use it as an excuse (“Oh, sorry I would but I don’t have my stamp”) to avoid having my kids travel ball teammates mom from asking me to notarize her divorce petition affidavit at 7pm on a Saturday.

Official results^

Link was not up last night. His trial was recently delayed because the AR supreme court removed the judge from the trial for issuing an unconstitutional gag order. Should have some result in a few months.

An Arkansas man accused of killing his teenage daughter’s alleged abuser announced his candidacy for county sheriff this month, and it’s starting to gain real traction.

Aaron Spencer, 37, who is accused of shooting and killing a 67-year-old man he discovered in a car with his 14-year-old daughter in 2024, announced he is running for sheriff of rural Lonoke County.

Spencer made the announcement in a video posted to Facebook while he is out on bond awaiting a trial set for early next year. He faces second-degree murder and firearm enhancement charges.

Just won the sheriff’s election more than doubling his incumbent opponent who arrested and charged him.

Edit to add story:
A taxpayer-funded Baton Rouge nonprofit that is now part of a massive corruption investigation paid for a man awaiting trial on a murder charge to speak to children about gun safety and violence, city-parish records show.

As part of then-Mayor-President Sharon Weston Broome’s Safe, Hopeful, Healthy campaign, the mayor’s healthy city nonprofit paid to have Marvin Payne, 36, speak to children about gun safety alongside Baton Rouge Constable Terrica Williams in June 2022.
…
At the time, court records show Payne — who also goes by “Madd Marvin” — had bonded out of the parish prison weeks earlier and was awaiting trial for second-degree murder. Deputies identified him as a member of a Zion City gang called the “5400 Boys.”

Payne has a lengthy arrest record.

He was previously charged with attempted first-degree murder in 2008. That count was later reduced to dangerous use of a weapon and he was sentenced to probation.

In 2017, he was arrested on a count of illegal use of a weapon by a felon. The case was dismissed two years later.

In 2023, as he awaited trial for the second-degree murder charge, Payne was arrested on charges of operating a clandestine drug lab, possession of cocaine and possession of fentanyl, court records show. That case is still active with a motion hearing scheduled for next month.
