NOLA Escape: Most Escapees Caught!

If they were smart they could have taken a boat and got into Cuba. Travel into the Gulf of Mexico (uh, America) and land in Havana.

The ten escapees from the Orleans Parish Correctional Institution are nearly caught. One employee and two women are facing state and federal charges for aiding in their escape.

Some of the escapees proved that Louisiana is 49 of 50 in intelligence.

Louisiana and West Virginia rank at the bottom of education.

Poor white people and poor Black people make up the majority of Louisiana's population. They elect elites like Jeff Landry as their governor.

They elect millionaires like John N. Kennedy and Bill Cassidy for the Senate.

Democrats elect Troy Carter and Cleo Fields as their lawmakers. They are over 60 years old. Career politicians who get AIPAC funding. They will give billions to Israel while Baton Rouge, Shreveport, Alexandria, New Orleans, Slidell and Natchitoches are struggling. These two Black lawmakers keep saying it's unity but they're kissing ass to white supremacists.

Republicans are always colossial idiots. 

Besides AIPAC and NRA funding, the Republicans piss and their constituents think its water.

Corrupt ass House Speaker Mike Johnson represents parts of Shreveport to Lake Charles. He will take one in the ass from either President Donald J. Trump or Benjamin Netanyahu. He is allegedly at peg man despite being a married Christian man.

Mr. I Will Take Another Bullet to the Chest for Freedom, Majority Leader Steve Scalise. He is David Duke without the baggage. Black people saved this loser when that deranged man shot at lawmakers during the Congressional Baseball Game during Trump’s chaotic first term.

He was helping the brothas.

Louisiana has that dirty cop and stupid white nationalist Clay Higgins as their lawmaker. He descendent from slave catchers and those folks who spat on Black students at LSU when they integrated.

Lastly, antivax widow Julia Letlow. The former professor who taught common sense but ended up as a MAGAland moron like her late husband.

Experiencing more divine interventions, some folks are willing to help prisoners escape. The justice system has always been quite unfair to Black men. 

Black men are locked up over 45% of the time for felonies and misdemeanors.

Authorities in Louisiana are on the hunt for five out of 10 inmates who busted out of a New Orleans jail and are still on the run for the seventh day on May 22.

Somehow the women found love behind bars.

The inmates escaped in the early morning hours of May 16, ripping out a toilet and sink unit and going through a hole in the wall, officials said. Since then, three other people have been charged with helping them: a maintenance worker who allegedly shut off the water at their request, and two women accused of helping them with transportation or food after the jailbreak.

The arrest of 33-year-old Sterling Williams marks the first non-inmate charged in the case. According to court documents, Williams told investigators he shut off the water to a cell and helped facilitate the breach under threat from an inmate. He now faces ten felony counts of Principal to Simple Escape and one count of Malfeasance in Office.

38-year-old Corvanntay Baptiste of Slidell had her bond set by a magistrate judge. Her bond was set at $1 million.

High and lost. The inmate was caught passed out on a bus bench. He was arrested without incident.

32-year-old Cortnie Harris of New Orleans had her bond set at $2.5 million. The court found probable cause and scheduled a Rule to Show Cause hearing for July 19 with GPS monitoring and 24-hour home incarceration ordered if released.

On May 22, Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill announced bonds for those women were set at $2.5 million and $1 million.

"You will be arrested and prosecuted if you assist these escapees in any way," Murrill said in a social media post.

Authorities nabbed three of the men – Robert Moody, Dkenan Dennis and Kendall Myles – by the end of the first day of the search. A fourth inmate, Gary Price, was taken into custody on May 19 while the fifth, Corey Boyd, was recaptured on May 20.

The inmates still at large are Derrick Groves, Leo Tate, Jermaine Donald, Lenton Vanburen and Antoine Massey. Vanburen, Donald and Groves have been charged with second-degree murder, officials said.

Got out the prison attire.

"We will NOT slow down. You will ALL be captured," Gov. Jeff Landry said in a post to social media after the fifth inmate was located.

I am reminded that Republicans are soft on crime and large on endless hypocrisy. 

Calls for Orleans Parish sheriff to resign.

Trump pardon the Jan. 6 rioters and white vigilantes. Trump seeks to punish people of color, Muslims, immigrants and folks who ruined him in the past.

Yeah, we are living in those times.

Punish the people who aid escapees. I hope they seek asylum in Mexico. 

Trump done pissed off the Global South. They should claim politician prisoner and demand protection from the U.S. authorities.

The suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
