#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?

#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?

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

#5 Nagin got an early release from his prison sentence for corruption because of the Wuhan virus. He's now in the suburbs of Dallas living the suburban life.

#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!"

You mean he's not in his wonderful Chocolate City?

#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.

#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.
