What happened in your city, Chief?
CHIEF DONALD DIXON, LAKE CHARLES, LA: Well Larry, it's kind of a good news, bad news story. The good news is is we didn't have the utter total devastation we anticipated. The bad news is is we took a very serious hit. We have a lot of wind damage a lot of trees that are down into houses, some catastrophic losses. We didn't lose entire blocks, like you saw in Mississippi, be had some minor flooding yesterday that's receded. The good news is is yesterday it was basically a search and rescue, we hit all the houses that we had catastrophic damage, we had trees wind damaged. We checked all the areas that did have the flooding and I'm happy to report we had zero casualties at this time that we know of. The bad news is is that now we're concentration on property and our soul mission now is protect the property of the people who evacuated and I can't tell you how proud I am of the efforts of this entire parish to get the people out of here. They voluntarily left and then the ones who couldn't leave, we had 70, 80 Greyhound Busses, we got them out. So we had a very, very high evacuation rate. It's why were in such we're in such a good shape as we are right now. KING: Do you have looting?

Your dad probably wasn't in the studio with him, but something tells me Larry King smells funny.
Prolly has something to do with him being the WALKING DEAD.
More proof of the far reach of FRee Republic.
For some reason,I've seen a couple of things featuring The King Of Bankruptcy and his teenage wife.You've gotta wonder about a guy who marries a woman young enough to be his granddaughter.You also have to wonder about the woman in such a marriage.
Ew. Just. Ew.
Supposedly his breath could kill a moose.
Sounds like your dad took care of business.
Great job!
Did he interview Chief Moose?
I watched it last night, and your dad was wonderful! I chuckled at the time and was glad to hear from a public official in Louisiana with common sense. (No offense, but too many of your leaders have not left a good impression lately.)
She's only 25 and a half years younger than he is. Still makes her young enough to be his granddaughter, but she's not a teenager.
Pretty gross, but there are worse Hollywood marriages.
I can tell I would really like your dad. Good man. I am so sorry for all the damage the city took. It will get better. I sure don't think they'll get much looting down there :)
Oh believe me, no offense taken. My state has embarrassed itself the past month and I am glad you think my dad isnt contributing to the ridiculousness. My dad was an FBI agent for 30 years and this is the kind of stuff he LIVES for, so believe me he is going to put his heart and soul into ensuring the city is safe! Thanks again for the compliements!
Do you think you could get him to run for governor? I think there will be an opening.
Good idea!
so i hope you will let us know directly what kind of assistance might be helpful to your dad's area when an assessment has been made. i am sure a lot of us would like to send aid where it will be well applied and getit directly to the people.
I watched your Dad and I was very impressed. He was the first one out of LA who stood up and took responsibility and said the looters would be in trouble.
I am sure you are, and should be, very proud of him.
