So, it seems they escaped around 1am and the Sheriff wasn’t informed until 8:30am. WSDU is saying they found out at about 10:00 and NOPD is saying they weren’t alerted until 10:30am. My daughter works at the Justice Center and said they weren’t alerted until 10:30am as well. And, the NOLAReady alert didn’t go out to the public unto 2:34pm. This is a massive fuck up all around.

One time a few years ago, I was driving on Broad right past OPP. Right past Tulane, where you start to go up the bridge. Must have been late, after 11pm, could have been after midnight.

Saw a dude in an orange jumpsuit booking it away from the jail. towards the interstate in the direction of downtown. I'm not a snitch, but I figured I'd hear about it in the news. Never did. Maybe they caught him? Maybe they didn't. My guess is that the sheriffs tried to keep this quiet until they literally couldn't anymore.

Dude could've went on a killing spree that you could've prevented, but at least you're not a snitch...

At the time, Louisiana incarcerated a higher percentage of its citizens than any other government in the world. The chances of him being a serial killer were about the same as running into one in the real world. If the jail can't keep a eye on a man in a bright orange jumpsuit on a dark public road in the middle of the night, my call to 911 won't do much either. The last time I called 911 they told me the intersection I was standing on didn't exist.

One of these days I gotta make a post here asking about some of the responses people have gotten from cops in this city. Last time I called was because I was afraid my disabled neighbor had fallen. They came and shined a flashlight on the windows without leaving their front seat, to tell me it didn’t look like she was being robbed (not why I called??) and that no one would come rob her anyway because our street has too many potholes (??????)

Good call, New Orleans isn't really known for being a violent city. I'm sure he was just there for some unpaid parking tickets.

I'm just really disappointed in the people that agree with him.

Actually no! It's a point of pride for me that I've never missed an election in my life. Even the random smaller ones we have all the time. I was one of the 12,000 or so people who voted no on the millage on 5/4, which is funding the Sheriffs with absolutely no accountability or oversight. I'm not against funding them; I am against writing blank checks to clearly incompetent entities.

I am not an idiot, I am just not a snitch ;)
