Special prosecutor issues arrest warrant

State Supreme Court issues stay on indictment

Special prosecutor keeps arrest warrant active

State supreme court says “really dumbass?” And issues another order (we are here)


The Orleans crew knows the charges would never hold. Their plan was to issue this charge right before a holiday then arrest the AG and make her sit in OPP until Monday and get a mugshot in orange.

This is blatant abuse of the judicial system to intimidate state wide leaders because Orleans doesn't have the political power to do whatever they want anymore..
In California, lane splitting is limited to 15 mph faster than traffic up to 30mph total speed.

Problems happen when traffic is stop and go and motorcycles lane split at 60.

I prefer the DiGulios veal chop.

We are 46 years away from Final Countdown. They were 39 years away from Pearl Harbor Attack.

For the OP. The range and accuracy of modern weaponry would repell any early 19th Century attack before they moved into formation.

The Mexican Artillery range in 1836 was 400yards. Muskets had a 100 yard range.

2 squad machine guns and a modern mortar would destroy the Artillery before it was set up. The infantry would be devastated while marching.

No way in hell should it encompass teens and adults firing lethal weapons at other people and accidentally being lousy shots and killing or even injuring non-targets.

This wasn't an accident, too many cartridges were expelled.

Manslaughter? No way, no how, totally illogical.


It doesn't. If you kill someone unintentionally during the commission of a felony, it is murder under Louisiana Law. Having a gun battle is a felony.

But now they will probably plead to negligent homicide and get 5 years, which will end up being house arrest after time served. But they will be monitored and only allowed to go to the club after texting the monitor company.
The charges were downgraded from murder to manslaughter.

Zero chance they don't catch the criminals.


Based on BRPD not putting a picture of the SUV out, they probably already tracked it down.

They tried to rob them? I don't know if that's the case, but its something that happens from time to time


There has not been a report that it was a drug deal. Only thing out is the victim interacted with driver side of SUV, then was dragged by SUV 250 feet (which means he either reached in or was pulled in) and victim died from gun shot to neck. Victim has Arabic name and his family looked Middle Eastern in video.

To me it sounds like a robbery of some sort where the victim reached in to vehicle, then was shot. Could be related to drug deal, could be random.

has it been determined that it was in fact a drug deal gone bad?


They could have pulled up and asked him for directions, then grabbed his phone. When he reached in to get it back, they shot him. They should have the model of the vehicle and will probably get the plate. I hope it's not stolen.

According to the news report at 6 yesterday, reporter said she saw a video of the kid talking to people in a SUV, then the SUV dragging him and he was shot in the neck. Sounds like they tried to take off with his money or phone and he reached in the SUV, then they shot him. Teen's name was Suhib Yousef.

WBRZ story in link has been updated with a picture of the victim.
WBRZ reporter at 6 said she saw video of teen talking to people in SUV, then being dragged by SUV down the street. They showed family members. I could not tell if they were middle Eastern or African American.

What is the most expensive child sport?

Posted by Shaun176 on 6/23/26 at 4:44 pm
Most you have spent on your kid doing a sport.

Obviously sailing or aviation would be incredibly expensive.

I know 3k is pretty normal for travel baseball or club soccer.

No rules matter as long as local judges can issue orders related to eligibility.
Wrestling. USA Wrestling Membership is $60 per year. There are places to train and be coached for $100 per season. 3 seasons per year. Tournaments are $10. Us Military sponsors multiple free camps per year. Top national camps cost $600 per week.

For $260 your kid can be coached for 9 months a year 3 to 4 days a week. For $1000 you can basically max out all in.

My daughter did gymnastics non competitive and it was 600 per semester 10 years ago. Then she did soccer and it was 3k for the club team fees.

How hard was it to get into BR Flaim with your first child?


When my kid went there were unfilled seats in French
Second kid got preference. My kid is doing a study abroad for free this summer courtesy of CODIFL. She is getting a minor in French from High school plus this study abroad. EBRschools has some good stuff.

My next door neighbor has 2 kids the same age as mine. They spent a fortune sending them to Episcopal K-12 and ended up in the same place for college. Our daughters are in the same college friend group.
My kids did BRFlaim, Sherrod Middle, BR Magnet High. Daughter's semester fee bill college has not been over $113, my son is in high school and based on his performance, I expect nearly free college as well.
