The SCUM of the earth: The bad news...Baton Rouge is experiencing outbreaks of violence with these refugees and our town's crime rate just soared this last week. Our only mall has been devastated by the NO crowd of professional shoplifters..the cons. The stores reported their worst "shrink rate losses" ever. Their 1st day at the Civic Center, they set fire to a police car. Day 2, when the fundraiser was being held at the center, they pulled knives. Yesterday, they found the elite neighborhood's Walmart and accosted folks in the parking lot for their money. In case all of you have forgotten, NO did have its name on the top 10 city list for crime & corruption. Guess what? The plague is in our town, Baton Rouge, and Lafayette! Coming soon to a local neighborhood near you!!! Banking is a mess, deliveries are a mess, cellular service is a mess, medical care is a mess, internet services are down, and the list keeps piling up here in the surviving towns to the west. But we have our lives, our homes, & our jobs and that makes us put up and shut up with the difficulties that are growing every day but still seem so minor compared to NO. All we truly know anymore is that this is an American disgrace of unforgiveable proportions! And here's another horrifying thought...the hurricane season is in its prime time right now with another 2 months to go. Sigh. forums.ebay.com
