Lafourche Parish, Information or Fluff?
FACTS:
July 24, 2006, KLRZ radio aired its “talk on the bayou” talk show. The talk show was hosted by Captain Kirk, with guest Lafourche Parish Sheriff Craig Webre and Lafourche Parish President Charlotte Randolph. My good friend Lafourche Parish District Attorney Cam Morvant was scheduled to appear on the show (according to Capt. Kirk), but pulled a George Jones and didn’t show up.
OPINIONS:
A citizen called in and asked a question of the sheriff in regard to sheriff deputies gathering in a parking lot with two or three patrol cars, with engines and a/c running, for hours at a time. The response by my good friend the Sheriff, in my opinion, had much too much fluff and is too embarrassing to publish.
In an effort to add a little satire to my good friend’s answer, I will publish the following scenario, which is 100% fiction.
A Lafourche Parish citizen walked into the sheriff’s office, breathless and shaking from fright, the citizen exclaimed to the sheriff, there is a bank robbery in progress across the street.
SHERIFF: How do you know it is a bank robbery?
CITIZEN: I saw a person run out of the bank, carrying a money bag, wearing a mask, shooting a gun and got into a car whose engine was running for a long period of time.
SHERIFF: How do you know the car was running for a long period of time?
CITIZEN: Because the A/C was on and the water dripping out covered the parking lot for the full length of the car.
SHERIFF: Well if it was me, hot like it is, I would let the engine run also. I wouldn’t want to get into a hot car.
CITIZEN: Why was he running out of the bank?
SHERIFF: He may be a member of Lafourche on the Move (a government program for people who do not move).
CITIZEN: What about the money bag and the mask?
SHERIFF: Mask are worn by different cultures around the world and many of them carry their lunch in a bag.
CITIZEN: Sheriff, what about the gun?
SHERIFF: Oh, I am sure he has a permit for the gun, or he wouldn’t carry it with him.
CITIZEN: I am sure sorry I bothered you sheriff.
SHERIFF; No bother, that is why you elected me. If you feel that a crime is being committed, contact anyone but me on Monday between 9:00am and 3:00pm.
THE END
I am sorry I can not give Charlotte Randolph equal time because I am still trying to figure out why she was there. I guess she didn’t have anything better to do, after all she is on the tax payers payroll.
