This is what I like about Louisiana. Nobody waited for authorities they just acted. You don't see that too much anymore but it happens a lot down here.

incredible story

[cpdiii]

Another driver who happened upon the scene said he witnessed several people on the bridge and one good Samaritan jump into the lake to save the driver whose vehicle had gone over the side.

I was raised in West Texas and South Louisiana. This story is not extraordinary. That is the way good people take care of their own. In West Texas we do not have lakes and swamps but we have a lot of other bad stuff. Good people in West Texas and South Louisiana take care of their own and the color of the those saving or needed saving does not mean a damn thing today.

Forty years ago in the South the color would have made a difference if it were a black or white in need of help depending on those that were trying to save a victim. Also in West Texas if the victim were Mexican it would have made a difference.

The South has gotten over the stupidity of prejudice by color of skin as has Texas. In reality in Texas the politicians be they white, black or hispanic are judged by their political beliefs.

However there are those that want to be defined by their race instead of their political ideology. Those individuals use racism instead of logic as their philosophy.

They are most despicable individuals/
