They shot our dogs!" Miller, a 54-year-old housewife, said of her mixed pit bulls, Angel and Hooch. She had gone inside to collect clothes and personal papers when she heard it.
"Boom! Boom!" Miller said. "Hooch came in and had blood all over him."
This is the parish that left their helpless elderly to drown in the nursing home. I am so thankful that I live in a more conservative area of the state. What's going on down there is scary. This is what happened in my family trying to help a friend out who was stuck down there.
My brother and BIL went to Metairie to get a friend and his dog and they were roughed up by the Jefferson Parish sheriff's department. My BIL is a heart patient and they grabbed him out of the truck, threw him to the ground and put a gun to the back of his head. He's a heart patient and started having chest pains and arrythmia's.
When he tried to tell them he was a heart patient they called him a douchebag and to STFU. They refused to offer medical assistance and made them stay at the friends house without electricity and the black mold already growing. They tell people to leave but then they will not allow them to get out. It is totally FUBAR'ed over there.
Since 911 is still out of service there they could not get help. My brother finally reached my sister and she called 911 and was told that since the police were involved there was nothing they could do. She finally got through to the LA State Police and finally said if he doesn't get help immediately he could die. The state police did get some help for my BIL by sending a fire truck with 3 paramedics. My BIL was in put in CCU and the doctor told them that his test results were at the level of someone who would have been on a treadmill for a stress test for over an hour.
The Jefferson Parish Sheriff's department tried to say it was the military who was responsible but my brother said nope it was the local law enforcement goons. They are out of control. More people have died from the locals unprofessional behavior than the dang storm it looks like.
