New Orleans flooding already and storm hasn't even hit yet. It's been 14 years since Katrina

God bless, user. Be safe, no hero shit.

thanks, user. Will do.

I got some canned/NP food, a ton of water, buckshot/slugs, booze, smokes and some other shit to hold it down. But I'm probably just gonna leave when the weather turns. I live near a highway that will put me in MS or TX in under 3 hours, I have enough to wait out the traffic and shit show.

I do have a camera though and some audio equipment. I might go around and try to piece some things together if shit goes down tonight.

Anybody want to discuss with New Orleans stores owers the issue of reasons to have an assault rifle?

East of Nola checking in. No flooding or looting. No Happenings.

Hanging tight or bugging out?

The flooding will suck, but the sensationalism is ridiculous. National news is really milking this.
Plaquemines is the only mandatory evac so far. My gf's car was Uptown and got a little water in her back driver side floorboard, so not too bad. Just a hassle. Had some drinks Uptown last night and it was like nothing happened. We're either going to Biloxi if her fucking employer would announce plans or you can find me at Mae's. I accept that S&WB will fuck us. I don't want to leave my shit unprotected, but I also don't want to risk both cars. Should probably at least go drop one off with family in MS.

I'm an attorney. You cannot legally shoot someone just for stealing your property. You can only use deadly force if there is a reasonable belief of imminent risk of death or serious bodily injury. Arguably, someone breaking into your property at a time when police are less available might support the belief. But, on its own, you can't take someone's life for stealing your shit or breaking in. That's just the law.

to them I say...Instead of blaming Trump, maybe don't invest in property below sea-level??

Glad to live in Texas. We can use deadly force to protect life or possessions. But I would argue, I was at my business and a horde swept in and I feared for my safety.

Fellow Texan here, I couldn't picture myself living any where else.

Absolutely. It's a fact-intensive question. If you are scared for your life or body, defend yourself. It can start one way and end up another. I am not licensed in Texas, but I think you might be mistaken. I don't know of any state that permits deadly force to protect property. Regardless, someone forcing their way into your home or business would usually alert and scare any reasonable person.

Heading to the camp in MS. Drinking and shooting. Let the nigs nog.

Not supposed to drink too much distilled water. It pulls nutrients out of your system

No sympathy for New Orleans. Katrina showed that the city was poorly designed and they clearly said at the time that it WOULD keep happening. Did they move away or try to move the centers of population to other areas? Fuck no. They stayed.

Who the fuck wants to be in MS? Every time I have to be inside MS I count the seconds until I get to fucking leave. At least in Alabama they don't pretend like they're anything other than rednecks. Everyone who isn't a nigger in MS has a complex like they're the best shit in the south. Hate this fucking region.

>You cannot legally shoot someone just for stealing your property.
how about the breaking in part lawyer, i cant read minds and know he is only here for a six pack of bud

Last 10 yrs here in DFW, I remember twice I heard on news, apartment dweller, truck alarm in parking lot goes off. Guy in truck refused to surrender truck, so he surrendered his life. Both instances, S.A. filed no charges. I think the thinking is, someone breaks into your house, how do you prove he was going to harm you? How do you prove he just wasn't grabbing TV?

DA

I have bottled water, thats for like emergencies and possibly washing/bathing if i get stuck somewhere for a few days.

Equally true for drinking too much non-distilled water.

Distilled water is fine for an emergency supply, though it tastes horribly flat. But drink a normal amount, drinking too much water can flush dissolved minerals out of your system unless you replenish them.

>Did they move away or try to move the centers of population to other areas? Fuck no. They stayed.

Ha, ask the folks in Hoston about that. Lots of folks fled and never went back.

Anything north of I-10 in MS sucks. But even the coast was cooler pre-Katrina. From the coast originally and we don't claim the rest of the state. But the population changed a lot. Can still be fun sometimes.

Like a said, it's a fact-intensive. Look up the reasonable person standard. That will give more of an idea of what I mean. All of that is taken into consideration. If you read what I read, I said that you can't kill someone just to protect property. That's true. If you reasonably fear imminent death or serious injury, then you can use deadly force. It really depends on circumstances. Nothing I said untrue.

I believe you, but it seems strange. I just looked up Texas laws on deadly force and that doesn't seem consistent. In fact, stealing a car is a specific example I remember some years ago in law school. It sucks to have your car stolen. But if you're not in the vehicle and the person stealing it isn't otherwise threatening, that doesn't support being scared for your life. However, it was night, which often supports use of force. Maybe there is more to that case. Also, DAs has prosecutorial discretion. The DA might have decided to not pursue it for any number of reasons.

>how about the breaking in part lawyer
Nope.

In LA, you do not have an affirmative duty to retreat, but you may not use deadly force unless you are "in imminent dancer of death or great bodily harm," AND use of force is your only option to avoid death or harm.

What that bols down to is that you have the right to stand there and not retreat, but cannot assume a threat of death or harm as a justification for use of deadly force until one actually manifests. Breaking into your store is not an imminent threat to your person, legally.

Basically, what it boils down to is that you can open fire if your are actually being attacked -- if a gun is aimed at you, if a knife is drawn and you are being charged, etc.

What gets me about this picture, shes probably more capable than he is yet shes playing the victim as she always has and letting other do the work for her.

Never been that far south in the state. Nothing further than halfway through, gf has family in Cleveland and I hate driving down there. I'm from Chicago and this is as about as much of a culture shock as I can get within my own country.

Trump's views on climate change and willingness to dismantle anything related to slowing and stopping it does make this his fault. If not for the changes he implemented this may not have happened. The world is being destroyed right in front of us and no one will stop the corporations from doing it.

>What that bols down to is that you have the right to stand there and not retreat
oh well thank you very much mr lawyer,glad I have that blessing, all I know is if someone breaks into here and tries to take my livelihood things I need to survive and will have to pay money to replace, hes leaving with some extra breathing holes

No one in New Orleans cares about or is asking for your sympathy. Also, how many areas in the country are susceptible to severe damage caused by natural disasters? Each area has a problem. Houston floods from bad thunderstorms and people die. Should those 7 million people move? Should everyone Oklahoma live somewhere else? Yes, there are better ways to handle disasters. The city and Corps of Engineers fucked up royally on the levees, which is why Katrina affected New Orleans. It was human error. Katrina really hit and obliterated the Mississippi coast, and nothing could stop that. Should all people in coastal areas move inland, despite the majority of the human race always living near water? There are steps that need to be taken to protect against natural forces as much as possible. It's inevitable, but mitigation is possible. In the meantime, I can almost guarantee New Orleans is a better, happier place to be than wherever you live. It's clear you don't actually know anything about Katrina, don't really know what you're saying, but still make assumptions and draw conclusions.

>Chocolate city=3rd world country
Exactly

>everybody flipping out how there's water on streets
>meanwhile
>floating down 3rd Ave on kayak

I'm the attorney who has been posting and that other person isn't me. But they're right. Also, you're being a dick to people who are just explaining the law. Neither of us wrote the law, though I understand the reasons for it. Why are you being a catty asshole just because someone is explaining something you don't like?

Well said. I was a CPA before retiring, so had some law courses, since then 1/4 the exam was law, but I don't even pretend to be at an attorney's level. But this I know from day 1, there's Constitional law, which is in play here, there's statutory law, which is big player here, and there's common law, which in Texas, is the trump card. Why I tell people I have a doctorate, served as university trustee, and am a white man and and scared of the system. Got Judges, DAs, sheriffs running for re-election and cops who get promoted for closing cases, not solving crime. Yikes!

I just moved to virginia and these streets flood every damn week

Friday night??? Where the f are you, japan?

Sounds like my kind of guy.

I'm going to start praying for the eradication of all niggers.

Exactly. I am a big opponent to electing judges. I believe in democracy, but I believe it elected officials can appoint and confirm judges for limited terms. A judge facing reelection is thinking about the emotions of the masses. A job that requires impartiality can't be preoccupied with emotions and pleasing people. I understand more why DAs are elected, but people need to better appreciate the power they have when voting. Congratulations on retiring. About how old are you, if you don't mind? Not a lot of retirement-age anons.

that previous nog mayor stole money from the rebuild fund right?

Yup

He wuz a good boy

Hey screw you man, Burlington Wisconsin is the only Chocolate City. Plus we got no niggers here!

Good thing Trump cares about black people

You should be fine if your that far away, lock your shit up and I would suggest a "looters will be shot" sign.

fucking this is the truest fucking thing ever posted

The city of New Orleans is fundamentally flawed by being below sea level, at the sea, as a massive river delta, in a hurricane prone area. It shouldn't exist as it does, no matter the attempts that have been made to protect it. I don't want to keep hearing about the tragedy and suffering of people who ignore basic common sense by staying there. So fuck off and stay off my news feeds.

Hmmmm...tell me more...

People are trying to prevent Democrats from taking the presidency. Preventing a Democrat president will go a long way in preventing corporate control.

What the fuck is going on in Naw'Lens? Is there a major storm approaching the area? I'm out in Arizona and legitimately have not heard anything about this. If this is legit, is this storm expected to be a big one? Comparable to Katrina??

There's this thing called, Google???

no one realy cares about the woes of the Negro

Sun and some wind. Good things ahead though!

You're right. Three hundred years of existence, culture, and history shouldn't and doesn't affect you. It is pretty funny to think of someone getting riled up because they see a headline about New Orleans flooding. Get over yourself. A lot of people all over the world love this city. But none of them care about you or want you want on your newsfeed. I hope the following days piss you off to no end. Sorry Mommy and Daddy didn't hug you enough.

Do you know how many cities are placed in a bowl below sea level? Probably not, as you're clearly just an emotional idiot. Sea level has always been a problem for New Orleans. However, the things really making it worse are human error (mentioned earlier) and a rapidly receding coastline. People should be angry. But it's because these are problems that can largely be handled, yet they are ignored. Not because its inherently impossible to have a city below sea level. Because it's not, dumbass.

New Orleans has served a crucial economic role in the US since its founding. Do you know how important a port city at the mouth of the Mississippi has always been? Whether above or below sea level, this city was going to exist. Since then, it has birthed an incredible amount of cultural and historical reasons to continue its existence. But you're ignorant and don't understand anything beyond your gut response to things.

By the way, in what boring ass place do you live?

I live here and HATE this city.

There is no culture. All the food is bad for you and tastes disgusting. The closest thing to 'culture' here is alcoholism and the worst elements of society congregating everywhere.

Honestly I hope barry finishes what Katrina started. Im only here for work and I fuckin want OUT.

>blaming trump

coming from the crowd who would probably blame the media,mexicans or muslims instead

Coming from the crowd who watched Barry the fag prez do nothing for the city and mayor, on gawd I love the name, mayor NAGIN, rots in prison.

Hey, fuckface. I was trying to get involved and encourage some discussion in the thread. If you really wanted to be helpful, you could have done a Google search yourself and come back and posted some information and screenshots for us. Thanks for nothing, fagboy.

Nypa, faggot

I don't mean to be rude, but if you live here and haven't found things to do, good people, or culture, then I believe you might be the problem. Yes, the food can be very bad for you, so don't be an idiot. Have some fried shrimp, then eat protein and vegetables the next day. Red beans and rice can actually be pretty nutritious if you don't shovel it down. You're right about alcoholism. The city itself is an enabler. People need to be careful and we need to look out for each other. I like having a beer, but I also spend most of my time pursuing other hobbies. Maybe you just don't go well here. I get that. But most people love it. I'm sorry you haven't seen anything that grabs you. But what you said isn't a complete or accurate representation of this city.

How is Obama even related to this? Katrina happened under Bush, and you Trump lovers are supposed to be for the federal government keeping their nose out of state business. If anything you should be thanking him for it.

instead of helping, some liberal photographer chose to stalk some niggers

You didn't read the posts, did you? Please tell me you didn't, otherwise you're scary stupid.

Imagine being this upset and trying to convince someone else that what they said isn’t important to you.

You forgot to mention Obama’s response to 9/11... god damn you tRunts are fuckin stupid

>But what you said isn't a complete or accurate representation of this city.

Dude I travel a lot for work, I've been a lot of places in this country. This is honestly hands down the worst city I've ever lived in (and im from NJ, which says a lot). Nothing I said is inaccurate or a misrepresentation of the city.

Maybe I am the problem, but you really can't argue that its not a town the revels in it's own squalor for no reason, is corrupt to boot, noisey, congestested, the town is LITERALLY SINKING 6" on average a year, every body of water is polluted AND for such a liberal city, there are some of the most closed minded people I've ever met here.

Honestly, If you like it here, rad. But the majority of the country points and laughs at this place for you being proud of a shithole that can't get traction in any direction. Enjoy your natural disaster.

Drunk already?

I never pass an opportunity to point out the ways in which an idiot doesn't know what they're talking about.

I'm excited. The dead nigger log ride is coming back

We rejoice in the wonderful things we've created despite obstacles, not squalor. We know the problems much better and we admit them. The government is historically corrupt, infrastructure sucks, poor people are fucked, it's violent, it's dirty, etc.. Yet the people here have created music, artworks, literature, food, and lived lives worth remembering. It's easy to make friends here because people are mostly genuinely open, welcoming, and friendly (just don't be an idiot). You accuse people here of being closed-minded, and I agree to a point. But you have completely missed the mindset of people who live here, and why we are happy here and proud of this city.

You are misrepresenting the people of this city, even if you insist you aren't. Again, sorry if you missed out on the good things. But you're accusing us of taking pride in our problems. We take pride in all of the great things you've failed to see. We take pride in doing it despite the problems. You should be open to being wrong, because you've completely missed the point. Good luck on your next stop.
