As Harvey floods rise in Texas, Cajun Navy is 'on the way'
The Times-Picayune ^ | August 27, 2017 | Wilborn P. Nobles III

Members of the Cajun Navy volunteer groups are stepping up to assist flood-stricken residents, as people bound for Texas post on Facebook that help is on the way.

Although unofficial and organized through several online groups, the Cajun Navy is comprised of grassroots volunteers who came to be known by a collective name after the Louisiana Flood of 2016 prompted hundreds of leisure boat owners to band together and perform search and rescue operations.

Sort of a Dunkirk without the bombs and bullets.

From what I have seen in the reporting, they are definitely going to be needed. God bless them.

I am sure hundreds nay thousands of moonbats, NE liberals,
and members of the antifa and/or Occupy Wall Street will be rushing down to Texas to aid in the relief efforts too!

And the vast majority of them are probably salt of the earth conservatives...the irony.

No bombs and bullets, but still with accents no average American can understand.

Cajun Navy = "white supremacists", "KKK" and Trump supporters helping people of every color, shape, size and political self-identification.

Have they no shame!?

Where is the Houston chapter of antifa? The San Antonio chapter? Why doesn’t Georgy Schwartz Soros pay his brownshirts 25 bucks an hour to help flood victims?

The “Cajun Navy” is not too popular with government agencies. The government does not like anything it can’t control or put a few million dollars into a study of it.

Nope. They will sit on the sideline, sniping at President Trump and trying their best to use the hurricane to damage him politically. This is what they do. They could not care less about the people affected. In fact, they are hoping that the death toll rises as they believe this will hurt Trump.

Bunches of them will be marching 110 miles to protest white supremecy. Maybe they could take a little break to help out in Houston? It’s going to get much worse before it gets better.

I am pretty much certain that citizen militias will tackle the problem with an overburdened Police unable to stop looting if it comes to that. I remember Sandy and that was the law. Government of ANY type took at least a week to give aid and comfort as the A-holes in Trenton were completely useless even with the Kenyans bribery check to Christie.

One of Hillary’s staffers was “triggered” by seeing a picture of an airboat rescuing people that had a confederate flag on it.

Said she would let the guy rescue her, but would then tear off the flag and throw it in the water
