1. Exactly who is Mark Morice (mohr-EES') to "commandeer" anything.
2. Did someone die and put him in charge? Did God call down and say "Hey Mark, lookee there - go steal them boats."
3. Apparently he "commandeered" three boats that DIDN'T belong to him. How very generous of him.
4. Then he doesn't even RETURN the boat to the lawful owner. Noooo, he just gives it to other people. The guy is a freakin Prince!
5. Also, how did Mark Morice (mohr-EES') know that the LAWFUL OWNER, John Lyons didn't need the boat himself to evacuate and/or save his OWN family. Answer - he DIDN'T.
6. Lastly, If I saw Mark Morice (mohr-EES') "commandeering" my boat, that SOB would be dead (d-e-a-d).

The guy was literally saving lives, rescuing people trapped in hot attics for days by floodwaters. More than 10,000 needed to be rescued, and it took days for the full force of military and volunteers to accomplish that, with some people dying during the wait. Your post is perhaps the most idiotic I have ever read here.

BTW, in case you missed it, the a-hole who is suing left his keys in the boat's ignition.

The Nola article has additional info: apparently he and two friends tried to call, text messaged, etc. to locate boats and owners to borrow them so they could get people out of water or from homes.
