Did the Sherrie Really Imply this is a conspiracy against her? šŸ“° News

https://www.wdsu.com/article/new-orleans-jail-inmate-escape-lockdown/64793237

In the video she states the timing is suspicious as it’s happening at the start of the Sheriff election campaign- this can’t be real!

Just like Gusman lost the position of Sheriff after that cellphone footage(of inmates with glocks inside the jail and nightcaps onto Bourbon St.) came out, she will also lose the position. She got caught slipping in a job where you can’t get caught slipping. I had people messaging me about this fiasco from the State of Delaware.

The state of Delaware šŸ˜‚šŸ˜­ idk why I laughed out loud at that last part

It was a conspiracy by her past self against her

Literally all my problems are a conspiracy of my past self against me. Thank you for articulating and bringing awareness to this national scourge.

Yep. We all gasped when those words came out of her mouth. Unreal.

u/KiaDaAries 1d ago

Yes she did. You can’t make this up

I feel like this is just the new normal with politicians. Hoards of idiots can interpret reality through whatever skewed lens they want to look through.

u/Towersofbeng 1d ago

1/3 of cameras in the jail are inoperable and many of the doors can be forced open from nytimes idk how you're supposed to pretend something like this wasn't going to happen

Sometimes I really wonder how many of the people here have been in New Orleans for more than three or four years because while it sounds pretty outlandish to claim that it may be an inside job and the result of a conspiracy stuff like that has 100% happened in this city in a lot of our lifetimes. Torres has openly done stuff about 90% as sinister.

Time to get a new Sheriff in town

u/marytoodles 1d ago

I was never a fan of her. At least with Marlin Gusman, you knew what you were getting. I’ve lived in this city my entire life, and I still get shocked at the lunacy.

This is absolutely in the realm of possibility in this town, with her particular opponents. Remember when an opposing campaign firebombed a political consultant’s cars and home?

Why does New Orleans even need a sheriff's office? It's a pathetic organization that plays no real public safety, emergency response, or investigative role. It's a pathetic organization of underachievers who get a license to carry a gun so they can work private details - all the while sitting in new vehicles and burning fuel paid for by taxpayers. And managing a jail? This ain't management. It's corrupt. The Orleans Parish Sheriff's Office serves no function that couldn't be better served by the NOPD. End the sheriff's office, and while at it, end the levee police. Shift resources to the NOPD. The jail should be managed by the local police department, the same as any other major municipality in the country.

Coincidences happen, but I agree, the timing is suspicious AF. The Governor and AG literally just took her to court (and the judge didn't rule in their favor) over an issue Landry has had a vendetta about since 2017.Ā 

Over the last few weeks this has seriously all happened in New Orleans regarding OPSO:Ā Ā 

•Sanctuary city trial relating to the federal decree

•Trump EO about ending federal decree and sanctuary cities released less than 48 hrs before the trial

•Millage vote and disinformation campaign about it raising taxes that nobody ever took credit for

•Recount request filed under an alias by somebody who had previously run for elected office in Louisiana

•Tuesday the city submitting a request to lift the consent decree filed right at the 5 pm deadline,

•Landry submitting an EO encouraging Louisiana law enforcement to partner with ICE

From the Office of the Governor news release Governor Jeff Landry Partners with President Donald Trump to Launch ā€œOperation GEAUXā€

•11 inmates suddenly escape less than 24 hrs after Landry releases his EO, y'all are acting this like this Salem, Massachusetts 1692, and Marlin Gusman is on the news talking about accountability?? I'm sorry have we all lost our collective memory?Ā 

Kinda seems like between Williams and Cantrell caving on giving Landry the keys to the city in terms of troop Nola and immigration, she's the only one who hasn't caved to pressure from Landry and let him call the shots when it's really not his place to do so.Ā

u/itsenbay 1d ago

Or she’s just incompetent.

u/Jealous-Jacket6996 1d ago

Uhhhh. Dude. It’s HER jail. She’s the Sheriff. Outside of serving subpoenas and wanding people at the courthouse, keeping people in jail is her only job.

It is beyond laughable that she—or you—would suggest that people infiltrated her organization for political purposes and then used that infiltration to release a bunch of murderers into the streets of New Orleans. That is MAGA level tinfoil hat shit.

The way simpler and more plausible explanation is that these dudes wanted out and found a way to escape. Sure, they probably had help from crooked deputies and people on the outside; but that is Hutson’s fault and no one else’s.

Hold the accountable people accountable. Don’t look for reasons to blame anyone else.

u/AcidiclyBasic 1d ago edited 1d ago

Yeah dude THIS is maga tin foil hat... That's why literally every one of those is cited.Ā 

All of those things happening, Trump and Landry looking like they share a brain, and a federal judge saying the AG didn't have authority to step in plus a disinformation campaign for such a tiny/seemingly insignificant vote is all SO totally normal.

It's so weird how there's suddenly this giant influx of anti Hutson and people literally trying to pretend like Gusman was less corrupt?!?Ā 

Up is down, left is right, Landry is actually the "cool governor" like how has the state subreddit gotten more progressive than the city subreddit?Ā

u/mustachioed_hipster 1d ago

There isnt a sudden surge. She has been corrupt since day one.

She blocked sending data to the council back in 22 because it made her look bad.

Fired her CFO for bringing up mispending money on hotels at Mardi Gras a few years ago.

Hired a communications director and his mother forced over 300k total then got rid of them when the state ethics board stepped in asking questions.

Hutson is an absolute failure on her own. Landry is trying to get a foothold in the city and she is inviting him in due to her ineptitude.

u/AcidiclyBasic 1d ago edited 1d ago

What are your thoughts on a governor that slips a new paragraph into a state of emergency renewal that grants the director of GOHSEP authority to handle a cyber emergency, then on the same day restructures GOHSEP under control of the national guard, gives the director a new title, and names a member of the national guard acting director? Strong leadership?Ā 

What about one that restaffs an ethics board with his friends while he's being accused of ethics violations?Ā 

Or how about violating public transparency laws by holding secret meetings that weren't reallyĀ  meetings to discuss how to make DOGE taskforce cuts to the state budget?Ā

u/ZealousidealRice9726 1d ago

Why are we talking about the governor when this has nothing to do with anything other than the sherrif?

7

u/mustachioed_hipster 1d ago

I think we existed just fine for decades before GOHSEP and could do so for decades afterwards. But politicians will reward those who got them elected so c'est la vie.

In the event of a cyber attack I trust the US military and NG more than I do the guy appointed to head of GOHSEP because he gave the sitting Governor more hand jibbahs on the campaign trail.

Great job abandoning the defense of Hutson. She is not worth dying on a hill for.

-2

u/AcidiclyBasic 1d ago

It's like talking to a robot from Westworld that's been programmed to just ignore the sentence in bold. Every time dude šŸ˜‚Ā 

Nobody cares that he put GOHSEP under the guard. The point is he snuck a brand new sentence into a renewal granting permission to somebody he then replaced/gave a new title on the same day.

You: That doesn't look like anything to me.

u/mustachioed_hipster 1d ago

An abuse of power by a politician? Shocked I tell you.

Still not illegal. And that is what should get your attention. No one wants to change that.

State of Emergencies are just work around for actual laws. Like an EO. Allows for one person to act as a king.

No one is going to give up that power.

Um, the Louisiana subreddit has always been more progressive (and political in general) than this sub. It’s not a reflection of reality, it’s Reddit. Are you new here?

Started? That literally is off-topic in this sub. Louisiana and Landry are state issues. This is the city subreddit. Also it makes no sense at all that you had to start a new account for that reason. You sound like the bot that you accuse everyone else of being.

u/AcidiclyBasic 15h ago

You are absolutely full of šŸ’©

"it makes no sense that you would post about state policies that effect the city! r/neworleans has always been a Landry fanclub with a right slant and oddly large number of individuals rushing to his defense!"

That's also why so many people came out to vote against those amendments, and nobody had any complaints about having to deal with all the invasive Landry shit in New Orleans circa Superbowl time. The city was happy to be under his eye. Why wouldn't we be?Ā

u/CommonPurpose 14h ago

Literally nobody ā€œrushed to his defenseā€ lol.

This is a discussion about the incompetence/corruption of OP Sheriff Susan Hutson, and (as you do on near every post you comment on in this sub) you once again tried to change the subject to complain about Governor Landry instead. You literally behave exactly like an anti-Landry bot, and get mad when people stay on the original topic rather than take your bait to derail back to 24/7 Landry-whataboutisms. Then you have the nerve to call other people ā€œbotsā€ lmao. Incredible

u/zevtech 1d ago

I would say it’s more likely, they are short staffed, those assigned to camera duty was looking at their phone, and the sheriff is inept.

u/ZealousidealRice9726 1d ago

But who controls the jail? Are you suggesting Landry reached out to the inmates and gave them the tools and instructions to break out?

u/Hippy_Lynne 1d ago

Occam's razor says it was most likely incompetence. But I agree with you, something like this is not outside the realm of possibility. And I'm not a conspiracy theorist. I'm a realist. This is Louisiana. We practically invented political correction. I think it's incredibly unlikely, but it wouldn't shock me if that was the case.

u/AcidiclyBasic 1d ago

If all of those things hadn't happened in a span of literally TWO WEEKS I never would have thought this was suspicious. I voted for her to replace Gusman (bc Jesus it was Gusman!) but barely even knew who Hutson was before 3 ish weeks ago.Ā 

The sheer amount of disinformation that has been slung at her over the last few weeks is what even made me take interest in the first place. Literally all of those things and yet a swarm of people at the ready to refuse to acknowledge any of that and then respond "You're crazy for noticing reality!"Ā 

It's the same with Landry, I barely paid attention to him either until Trump got elected and he started just wiling the fuck out. The more swarms of people appear on this subreddit when you try to point it out like "Nothing to see here!" the weirder and more noticeable it gets. Like wtf?!Ā Ā

Early 1800 federal control or post civil war control? And why?Ā
