re: Two 48-year-old NOLA residents arrested in Larose Snowball Trailer Theft
Posted by UpToPar on 7/16/26 at 2:05 pm to NorthEndZone
It seems like a lot of effort to drive from New Orleans East to Cut Off and back just to steal a snowball trailer. There has to be more lucrative things to steal closer to home.
So DA is turning it over to a grand jury? Probably smart to take some of the heat off of her, but most likely going to end up being a huge waste of public time and resources and the grand jury's decision still won't appease those that have convinced themselves that this was a murder.
re: Ole Miss Isn't Breaking New Ground on Contract Enforcement

If these provisions are so obviously unenforceable, why are schools continuing to include them? Why did Washington threaten legal action against Demond Williams? Why did Georgia sue Damon Wilson? Why did Duke seek an injunction against Darian Mensah? Why did Wisconsin sue Miami over Xavier Lucas? Those schools clearly believe they have enforceable contractual rights worth protecting.
Nobody knows if they are enforceable or not yet because the courts haven't weighed in. But I could easily see courts in some states (particularly those that already severely restrict non-compete clauses in employment contracts) finding that these provisions are not enforceable. That's essentially what this provision is, a non-compete.
And the idea that if OM doesn't enforce this buyout provision then the revenue sharing agreements are meaningless is hogwash. OM hasn't paid a dime under either of these contracts. The buyout provision is simply a mechanism to try to prevent a player from transferring to another school.

Why not just rent? You're not going to build that much equity in 7-10 years. At best, you might break even after you consider closing costs and realtor fees when it's time to sell.
And nobody can answer your question without knowing your actual financial situation. If you bought the expensive house and the AC breaks in a month, do you have $10K to replace it?

I'm talking about social welfare programs in general. Churches and other private organizations can do whatever they wish with their money.

You can't stop people from being shitty.
You also can't stop helping people who need help by abolishing an entire system.
You can accomplish both of these things by putting more safeguards in place to make sure that these things are going only to the people that actually need them. But one side has pushed back on any such safeguards to keep their voters fat and happy.

Shepherd also said that a photo that Crump shared on his Instagram, which supposedly shows Wells at a pool party, was not from July 5, as the caption claims. He said the party took place on June 27 in nearby Pass Christian, Mississippi.
I'm sure Crump and his team are scrambling to issue a retraction statement :rolleyes:
On a serious note though, it will be interesting to see what the family does here. If they are serious about "finding answers" about what led to his death, they would come out and quash the false narrative that he was alive and at a party on the night of July 4th. Any false narrative is going to distract investigators from getting to the bottom of what occurred during the day on July 4th. Let's see what the family does. If they don't come out and quash the alternate theory kicked up by Crump and others, then it becomes clear that they are not interested in actual answers and are only interested in pushing a narrative.

re: Flock camera installed outside of nearby school, what's your take?

The issues I see are 1)these photographs include minors on their way to school 2)they are stored on Amazon Web Services cloud, with no verification they are actually deleted at the specified time 3)No way to verify if the data is being sold 4)If/when AWS gets hacked, every person/family that drives their kids to school is suddenly exposed to some very bad actors online, who suddenly know what the vehicle looks like, photographs of the child, what time they get to school, and who brings them, on top of the address of each occupant.
How is this any different than a nearby business having a security camera? And how would a bad actor get access to the address of each vehicle occupant?

The new theory is: Nolan left the island. Attended a pool party. Then somehow died. The murderer(s) took his body back to the island on July 5th to be found July 6th. It’s assumed that the kids in the original viral picture did it because they cleaned their boat at 3AM the night he went missing.
This is more ridiculous than the previous crackpot theory. Are we to believe that every teenager at the pool party is in on the coverup and is going to pretend like they didn’t see him at the party?
Also, if the alleged murders brought the body back out to the island sometime on the 5th (when and why would they do that knowing that the coast guard, law enforcement, and several others were all over the island looking for him), they would have had to do that on Sunday evening/night, so cleaning the boat at 3am on Sunday morning makes no sense.

Personally I think there’s just as many people inappropriately jumping to “this was just a tragic accident” as there are people immediately assuming foul play. There could’ve been a fight and a cover up. I don’t care what color any of these people are. The race talk in the comments on both sides is sad and vicious.
You think somebody got into a fight with him and killed him on an island with thousands of witnesses around and not a single person has come forward? You think he was murdered in front of hundreds of people and they are all in on the cover up?
quote:
That's fair. Truth be told, I've always been of the mindset that if you have to retain counsel in a situation where you are 100% in the clear from any and everything. Then there's a good possibility you are hiding something. Ie You may not be guilty of the actual crime, but you may have known something/saw something along the way. But then again, I could very well be wrong in that assumption. I've never been in a case where I've had to talk to police, etc.
So, question: do investigators and prosecutors look at it suspiciously at all when witnesses hire an attorney before speaking with police? Or is that seen neutrally, legally speaking?
In this situation, where the deceased's family has already hired the biggest race baiting POS attorney there is, coupled with the fact that at least one of these kids' parents is a judge, it would be very odd if they DIDN'T lawyer up.
Plus, it looks like most were drinking from the pictures. At the very least they could be facing some questions on operating the boat under the influence.

I'm trying to catch up and want to make sure I'm not missing anything.....there's been no actual evidence of foul play, correct? The GMA segment and other media attention just based off some crazy arse hypotheticals that people conjured up because it was a black kid with white friends? That's pathetic.
