Couldn’t NOLA Residents Have Protested Without The Rent-A-Riot Protesters?
Why the need to bring in outsiders? Did they really help the cause?
Unfortunately, instead of moving forward and providing hope to residents, professional protesters and experienced agitators succeeded in shutting down the B.W. Cooper demolition last night. Now, this same group wants to thwart the demolition plans at three other housing developments.
In reality, none of the previous residents of these public housing developments have a “right” to return. Residents lived in these facilities courtesy of the taxpayers of the United States. They did not own these units. Instead the units are owned by the federal government and the people of this country.
All of these facts are disregarded by the professional protesters who came in to New Orleans from other states, carrying signs and yelling at work crews hired to do a job that had been approved several years ago. Yesterday, at the B.W. Cooper protest, license plates were spotted from Ohio, Kentucky and Massachusetts. Who are these individuals? What stake do they have in New Orleans? They have the luxury to come into town and protest and then leave and not have to face the crime and trash that characterize the housing projects.

Just wire the buildings with explosives, and if the rent a mob is inside, too bad. That is what you call urban improvement.

They sure don’t know how to act in public so you can imagine how they live. New Orleans doesn’t want the trash anymore. Katrina gave New Orleans a chance to clean up. The news video clearly shows how stupid these protestor idiots are. I love watching the cops take’m down. PCD, I think you have a great idea.

Don’t you know by now? Liberals PAY people to protest!
