Looks like an Abyssinian, which are the best cattes. Never a dull moment.

I learned how to captain a small boat in the bayou years before learning how to drive. I would much rather be volunteering there than here at work. I’m not doing shit all today really tbh. A damn intern could have done what I did today. On the other hand, my Jeep could be a rescue recovery vehicle.

If I’m reading this correctly, “for better” means they toe the CNN line, and “for worse” means the *life-saving volunteer rescue brigade currently risking their lives* said a mean thing about CNN.

Hey man, he had to pad the word count in the article somehow!

The “arm chair” journalists and related media would have us believe that the only people who can assist in situations like this is the state/fed government, local LEO/Fire and Military. In their view, volunteer civilians simply cannot have the necessary training or even remotely understand how to assist others in an…

Yeah let’s shit all over volunteers, who are using their own resources and risking their own lives to go try and help people. Not to mention the fact that they’re answering a plea from law enforcement (the professionals, in other words) that asked anyone with a boat to come and help with search and rescue efforts.

The LARC-V is a very useful Navy platform that’s been around for ages.

Seriously... assembling a large, volunteer force to rescue people is “for better and worse”, because a guy helping people dares to mention he heard gunfire... and right after that they crosspost an article telling journalists to stop shaming looters.

Something tells me that if this were the Park Slope Navy, the post would have a slightly different tone.

Should be noted that not all volunteers with boats are the Cajun Navy. Yes they are in the area and seem to overall help, but there are PLENTY more volunteers with boats doing the same thing. There’s a large group from the Lufkin/ Nacogdoches area that have been there since Sunday working crazy long hours.

Overall,…

People are helping people. If you have no facts, or if a single incident doesn’t support some dangerous response, then what is the point of your post?

why do they need to be grouped and labeled? Its just an assortment of people with boats trying to help.

It’s called backing up my claim. It’s a $25 donation ffs. I’m not gloating about rescuing 2000 people by myself.

Please, let’s crap on volunteers risking themselves in order to save people from their flooded homes and cars. Maybe they were shot at, maybe they weren’t. That doesn’t and shouldn’t diminish their efforts in at a very dire time where it’s literally all hands on deck to help.

Randy Mamola approves.

In Australian it’s “bitta thin creshing”, I believe.

The leg dangle popularized by Valentino Rossi sometimes causes soles to smoke (there was some great slow-mo of this happening with Marquez in MotoGP this weekend), but boots aren’t designed for both feet down in fourth gear.
