#13  I still remember all the lamenting that the cops had all run off during Katrina, only for it to be found out that something like 40% of people on the payroll never existed.

#12  I'm shocked, shocked to discover there is looting going on here.

I recall during Katrina photos of cops joining in the looting. I didn't think Foot Locker had food, water and medicine that was vital in the absence of normal commerce access.

Remember Store & Homeowners and Police.
Black Looters Matter.

#6  New vs. Vieux, or, "Moore Inflation!"

A teen sidles up on a bike.
"Whoa, new DJI! Dude, I like!
Been thinking I'd buy it."
"Climb down, kid, and try it."

Meself pedals off, yelling, "Sike!"

#4   For a moment there I thought thieves using a drone to steal.

That would be cool. Very 21st century. Alas, our criminal class are not early adopters when it comes to technology.

#2  How I suffered (abdominal hurt)
When I saw that (white) dude in red shirt
Queue up with no fear
For his share of cool beer!
I sure hope that he got his dessert(s).

Seriously though, that clip looked a little fishy. So ma demographic brotha took the handoff from yellow shirt? Who's to say he didn't turn around and pass the case to po-ass mum of fo'? Why y'alls gotta go casually accusin' us white black folks alla time?

#1  Wake me up when the cannibalism starts. Besides, NOLA has had years since Katrina to fix all those "issues" they had with bad infrastructure and lame-ass management. Say, what's Ray Nagin up to these days? Still involved with transportation?
