I think I remember that shyt lol. I'm pretty sure the heavy handed stuff came in because the cops were wildin the fukk out and somehow the other gangs in the area were somehow working with some legit weaponry - I know for a fact the national guard/82 guys were getting shot at with some frequency. Wouldn't surprise me at all if it was the same guys.Breh they say that cac sniper dude who had that movie done about him was down there with his boys shooting at brehs. It’s almost like when the levees broke not only did brehs in NO see the bat signal for murder go up in the air, but folks who was just on some wacked out mercnary shyt came into town cuz they knew NO was basically Purge status for a couple days. I’m sure you’ll see a movie or tv series about it one day. It’s a legit real horror story. I think about 1/3 of the death total was foul play. Easily.
The numbers gotta be crazy though. 1/3 weather, 1/3 foul play and violence, 1/3 just straight up missing.
It was anarchy. Straight up. First thing I saw driving in there was an abandoned, flooded out vet clinic and the animals rotted and floated all around it next to a cemetery where all the graves came up. To this day I still react dumb hard to smells.Can’t think of his name. The one who got killed by that vet he was helping. The American hustle white boy played him. Can not think of the actor who played him either right now. Smh.
Edit: it’s a podcast by this breh from New Orleans where he talks about that and this hotel that called in some ex navy seals or some shyt to do security on the hotel during Katrina and the shyt is crazy. These dudes was wildin’, folks who broke into the hotel was wilin’. It’s some legit Purge shyt. Just faced some OG so I don’t feel like looking for it but I think the podcast is called Dark Waters or something like that
Its wild because I know that there were good people out there trying to do the right thing. The problem for so much of it was the lack of communication combined with the dire circumstances. You absolutely could NOT afford to ask questions first and talk things out with people. My group was in that shyt for about 2 weeks before we stopped in at the Superdome then we just all had to gut check each other and ended up moving to one of the transition points further out. Don't think I slept more than 3 times while I was there.
