...so the Jena Six are victims of white oppression and these guys who were fired and replaced with an all black staff are.....what?

Can we expect another march from Sharpton and Jackson? They want “equality” after all...

Could they be unqualified for their jobs because they only spoke one language?

Actually, in the late 1920s, the great Mencken referred to Loozyanna as being "the westernmost bastion of the Mediterreanean strain of politics."

I’m glad the justice system survived the civil rights era intact.

This city is still as dirty as ever. I was hoping N.O.’s would clean itself up. Glad the courts upheld the original ruling...

I’m not sure which is worse — Louisiana or New Jersey.

New Jersey by a vast margin. Higher Taxes in NJ and it is one of the most anti-gun states in the US.

At least there are other parts and other cities to Louisiana, some of which are nice and have good food and people.

Plus, there are drive thru daiquiri’s everywhere.

Liberal gun laws (or should I say “Conservative” gun laws or more free)

Some plaintiffs sued Eddie Jordan directly. Not sure what happened to the case but I do know he tried to claim bankruptcy and a judge denied him.

This is actually one of the more curious aspects of the case. The plaintiffs alleged that Jordan acted outside of the course and scope of his employment by firing the white employees and replacing them uniformly with blacks. The jury found that although, Jordan discriminated against the white employees, he was not acting outside the course and scope of his employment. Thus he is not personally liable for the jury verdict.

I found this odd because Jordan's drop is to prosecute criminals in Orleans Parish, not to systemtically replace white employees with black ones.

As practical matter, the money now has to come from the Parish DA's office treasury, which is pretty much underfunded anyhow and now makes it more difficult for Jordan to actually do his job. Not that he has done a great job of it, regardless.

He can fire and hire anyone he wants. He just can’t do it for race. In this case, he was paying back political supporters. Which is practically a religion in Louisiana.

Eddie Jordan says... You are only racist if you are white.

Thanks for the update. I heard the treasury was just about empty too. Fees from collecting child support was helping the treasury at one time under Harry Connick Sr. Connick was not the most brilliant DA, but Jordan has just been horrible. Jordan has the crimminal vote for sure. I hope the City makes a real rebound.
