What residents are saying about today’s issues
What were your thoughts as you watched coverage of the weekend Baton Rouge shootings?
JUDY ROSS
Houma
My heart broke into a million pieces. It was one of the scariest things I’d seen in such a long time. The world is no longer a safe, happy place.
JULIE SIMMONS
Houma
I stayed away as best I could. It’s so depressing. Those people are trying to protect us and they’re being taken away for no good reason.
BROOK THERIOT
Gibson
My thoughts were to call someone and tell them that I loved them. You never know how much time you have left anymore.
GERALD LELAND
Houma
What can you really say? It’s awful. People no longer value life. They go around and to as they please.
DORRIS ADAMS
Houma
It made me sad. I really wanted to cry. This happens too often. It has to stop. It really has to stop.
ALLISON BROOKS
Schriever
I sat down and told my kids what happened. You don’t prepare for that as a parent. There’s more to the world now than just being a good person. Evil is all around.
