FACTS:
In Lafourche Parish, the DA is Mr. Morvant. The sheriff is Mr. Webre. The Governing authority President is Ms. Randolph and her spouse is George.
OPINIONS:
Once upon a time, in a far-away land, there was a kingdom with a judicial system and governing authority similar to that of counties in the United States of America. One day, an inquisitive young journalist student approached a wise old owl and asked a series of questions.
Student (S). I hear that our prosecuting attorney drink a lot of alcoholic beverages.
Owl (O). Is he an alcoholic or a drunk?
S. It appears that with all his resources and programs, he would seek help if he was an alcoholic. He must be a drunk. Why would a person in his position choose to be a drunkard?
O. I believe it is because his mother raised him with good moral values and when he violates those values on a daily basis, his guilt drives him to drink.
S. Why is he so protective of the leader of our governing authority and her spouse?
O. Birds of a feather?
S. I understand that drunks will defend other drunks, but why does our chief law enforcement officer defend these political leaders, he is not a drunk.
O. He, as a few others in his generation, are desensitized. They have no moral values. Their only allegiance is to “SELF” and the all mighty dollar.
S. Well who is leading who in this web of deceit and corruption?
O. I will tell you a true story. You be the judge. A young adult son, having a temper tantrum, went to the chief law-enforcement officer for advice on a family situation. A true professional would have advised the young man to seek family counseling. The CLEO told the young man to file phone harassment charges on his mother, who was also a grandmother, and he would handle the rest. Imagine this, with all of the crime in the kingdom, the Cleo and our prosecuting attorney continued to harass (the grandmother went to court to plead not guilty, the prosecuting attorney would not allow her, because they offered her a pre-trial intervention program. They told her to bring her check book. She refused the P.T.I. program because she wasn’t guilty. They had her continue to appear in court six times. They continued to offer PTI and she continued to refuse. They became so desperate that they offered just about everything but a Hawaiian vacation, the grandmother refused.) the grandmother for nine months. The grandmother was victorious in a court of law. The people of the kingdom are fortunate to have a couple of honest judges who cannot be controlled by other corrupted public officials. Hopefully, if your adult child is angry with you, he or she will seek advice from a professional, not from the prosecuting attorney or the chief law-enforcement officer.
S. It is difficult to believe that the citizens of the kingdom allows these corrupted individuals to serve in our kingdom.
O. It takes a little while for the general public to develop a flavor for change, but believe you me, change is coming.
We hope you enjoyed this little fable. Stay in touch as we try and correct the wrongs of the kingdom.
