Editorial: The shameful return of executions to Louisiana
Editorial: No matter what one’s underlying position on the death penalty, Gov. Jeff Landry’s decision to use nitrogen gas as the execution method is barbaric. It must not stand.

He offered to move. They said, “No, you can come with us or we’ll cuff you and throw you in jail.”

They all know what this is. There's no upside to giving away public money to Shell and to developers so they can build nice things for rich people. See, for, example the entire 20 years following this strategy after Katrina. There is no excuse. They do this on purpose
