Lafayette rejects its neighbors

 

“They’re not our community. They’re not our people,” Scott Morgan, the interim police chief, said at a news conference Saturday. “They’re coming over here for trouble. Don’t support them, don’t get involved with them. Stay out of it.”

Hurricane Laura incapacitated electricity and water supply of eighty neighboring towns and Lafayette refuses to receive the "refugees". This is something new for me, and unlike the generous, welcoming America I knew fifty years ago. The bloggers writing that one should hoard canned food and ammunition may know something. 

Bad.
