If I had to guess, RedTails was probably referring to his campaign that campaigned on gun rights and anti-abortion, among many references to Trump and Guillory's relationship with Rudy Giuliani. All things that are national politics and nothing to do with City politics and how to improve the city of Lafayette itself I think also (and I know it wasn't you that brought it up Duggie) that JBE was just trying to follow the national guidelines that he was told to follow. I don't think JBE wants to have people arrested either, even though many of you are calling him a hypocrite for the fire marshal not enforcing the mandate. I think he was just asking for a cohesive message across La, which the whole country could've benefited from. I don't see that as a bad thing. If he would've had people arrested some of you would be calling him much worse names than a hypocrite. Whoa whoa whoa. What happened to every life is so precious? And if an iniative saves just 1 life, it’s worth it? Are you suggesting that JBE made the right decision by not arresting people, which in turn puts “blood on his hands?” What? I'd say trying to have a cohesive message was his best attempt at saving lives given the political climate he was dealt. To go against that message is a political game that costs lives. Wearing a mask never cost anyone their life, not wearing one may have cost many. |

My question was, if Edward’s would actually enforce his own mandate, with stiff penalties, would that have saved at least 1 single life these last several months? |

I think he was hoping that people were smarter and more caring than they have proved to be the last year, and that maybe he foresaw that if arrests were made a revolt and protest of the mandate possibly would've had worse consequences than arresting a couple of people. Not sure the argument here, it was just an attempt at a cohesive message and you're upset people weren't arrested...but you're against people being arrested for a mandate you seem to think isn't necessary? Whats the issue here? |

As the leader of the state of LA, I’m trying to figure out if JBE could have saved lives, even if just a single life, by putting proper mandates in place that would have protected our fellow neighbors. Has he truly use his authority in full?Every life matters and if JBE didn’t do everything in his power to protect his constituents, where does his responsibility lie in the countless deaths right here in LA? He’s throwing out that Mayor President Guillory and Lafayette City Council are at fault for not protecting the citizens in this town. Has JBE exhausted every power he has to protect us all? Yes or no? |

For context, Ms. Simone was my vote for MP. I think she was the right candidate for the right time, all things considered.
This “story” became a story because a GOP type did what GOP types do. Guillory found out about comments that JBE made on a frickin PODCAST, cherry picked that particular few sentences, and turned it into a campaign rally. It was a layup political move.
Guillory is a prototypical political animal. His “aww shucks” attitude has fooled a lot of people. Begnaud’s report had little to do with this becoming a national story. Although it did piss of Moon Griffoon pretty good 😂

Although it did piss of Moon Griffoon pretty good 😂 The Begnaud report had everything to do about it being a nation story, because it was on the nightly national news. Had it remained a local story, he never would have touched it. Second, Guillory is a slimy lawyer much like JBE. Edwards is already an establish hypocrite on the subject when he was caught hosting a dinner party after he issued the state mandate. He's a typical elitist that tells us commoners, "do as I say and not as I do." At least Guillory practices what he believes, rightly or wrongly. Third, the Funeral Home is to blame for not enforcing their own rules. I've attended 3 funerals in the last 6 months and everyone wore a face mask. No one person had to be told twice to put one on to visit with the family. The spineless funeral home director and owner were too concerned they would lose business telling people to leave if they refused to wear a mask. fork'em! If those people actually gave a shirt about the family, they would have agreed to wear a mask and put aside their personal beliefs for one damn hour. I'm not a person that runs around screaming at people to wear a mask, but damn it how about showing some fucking respect for the decease's family? |

I did. JBE didn’t even mention Guillory. In fact, he said the city council was at fault for not enacting a mandate that would give them an enforcement tool. It had very little to do with what Begnaud reported on. |

It had very little to do with what Begnaud reported on. I watched a replay of his interview on local news and he clearly directed his comments towards Guillory and the council. So are you trying to tell now what he meant by his comments? Either way, both of them have fallen short on leadership. |

So if I'm reading your message correctly you're saying because JBE mandated masks but didn't arrest people for non-compliance he's responsible for people dying of covid more than our city mayor/president saying its not mandated? They both apparently don't have legal consequences, but at least one leader had the correct message. I would strongly argue that if there were a cohesive message from the top, DJT to Guillory maybe people wouldn't have felt they had an argument against the masks. That argument was started by DJT and followed by Guillory, because he's a follower. All the while the state legislature was trying to strip JBE of any powers he possessed to possibly save lives. To simply say JBE is responsible for deaths for not arresting people in a state where there would've been a clear uprising if that would've happened, is pretty petty. I feel like he did as much as he could while trying to balance the peace. JBE's message was to protect the people and Guillorys was to protect Trump and Guillory himself. |

That’s a lot of excuses to dodging my question. Has JBE done everything in his power to prevent all the COVID related deaths in his state? It really is a yes or no answer. Any “Well...” or “If...” are excuses and politics. Keeping the peace to prevent uprisings?? So politics are more important than our neighbors lives? |

I know you're prodding just to be petty, but Yes to satisfy you. He was threatened with having his powers removed just for creating the mask mandate so I really still don't know what your deal is because I know damn well if arrests were made you'd be on here claiming he's a dictator and needs to be recalled. And preventing an uprising isn't politics, it's public safety. Putting your own interests ahead of the public's is politics, exactly what guillory did since he clearly has his sights on national politics and is playing to the trump base. Seems to be working on you. |

Why is this even a topic? Louisiana is a floundering cesspool of political corruption and ineptitude. Texas and soon Mississippi are kicking our butt economically.
Yet we bury up like crawfish in cold weather.

Josh Bro' stuttering misdirection when Hummel asked about the difference between a 'mask mandate' and the ice storm 'stay at home mandate', tells you everything you need to know.

Hummel is an idiot and so is anyone else who can’t differentiate the two. You have zero control when driving on ice. Period. You have choices when it comes to COVID. Stay home, wear double mask, social distance, etc. Geez. Should be real easy to decipher... |
