In N.O. some were staying to protect what they had worked for, earned and wanted to keep (including their guns which the government tried to sieze). At the Washington event (a prelude to the second coming) they were looking for a handout, mortgage money, gasoline, and a totally free ride.
Been to N.O. (88) Loved it. Can't get a bad cup of coffee and I felt safe in most neighborhoods.
Been to D.C. (also 88). Was warned by the cabbies that I shouldn't go anywhere at night on foot.
Can carry in La. Can't own a handgun in DC
Any pattern here?
