Boudreaux and the boys are in town to help with S&R ANYBODY that needs help. Weird how a bunch of southern rednecks and coonasses jump in to help without hesitation huh? Be safe folks and prayers up.

After Katrinaand Rita, Mr. Mercat and I drove down to SW Louisiana pulling an old camping trailer full of bottled water and supplies. We left it all there after meeting up, as arranged, with some of these guys. They took us on the full tour past the barricades. We saw drowned alligators and cows. I’ll never forget the smell.

Larry almost had it right.
Everybody makes fun of a redneck until their car breaks down...or the crick rises.

Why is that weird? Southern redneck and coonass culture is like that.

The Cajun Navy is primarily made up by a certain demographic: Southern white males. The media tell us that these are the most hateful, racist, bigoted people in the world.
Curiously, if you see any footage of the Cajun Navy in action, you will notice a very interesting thing. The people that, more often than not, they end up saving, are usually from those demographics they are supposed to hate so badly.
They go out there on their own initiative and risk their own health and well-being to help people, regardless of their skin color, ethnicity, religion, gender or whatever.

🚣🏼. Sorry I didn't put a sarc tag on it. Just that this is NOT the story the "elites" like to see. Like a buddy said, that is America, not C'vilke and berzerklee. I lived many years down there and if not for the humidity, I'd probably be there now.

Every hurricane prone, excessive flooding, state guard should have its own fleet of these in it’s Cain Navy and state guard.

They do it better organizing it and running it themselves. The coordinate with local law enforcement and state authorities as best they can, but they are faster and more efficient doing it themselves without 10 layers of bureaucracy screwing it up.
