CITY OF NEW ORLEANS, MAYOR RAY NAGIN
ONCE AGAIN FOUND IN CONTEMPT OF COURT
District Court Judge to City Attorney: Conduct "wholly unprofessional"
NRA and law-abiding gun owners won yet another victory this week against New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin and former police chief Warren Riley.
Judge Carl J. Barbier, presiding over the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana, granted NRA's motion for contempt against New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin and Warren Riley for "failure to provide initial disclosures and to compel answers to discovery" during NRA's injunction against the City for their illegal gun confiscation of law-abiding citizens following Hurricane Katrina in 2006.
"Once more, Mayor Ray Nagin and former police chief Warren Riley are held accountable for considering themselves above the law," said NRA-ILA Executive Director Chris W. Cox.

Furthermore, Judge Barbier concluded the delaying tactics by the City's attorney, Joseph Vincent DiRosa, Jr, were "wholly unprofessional and shall not be condoned." Mr. DiRosa admitted in Court that he had "no good reason" to explain his actions and has been ordered to pay partial legal fees to NRA's attorneys for their wasted time and money.
"Ray Nagin, Warren Riley and their attorney refused to provide vital information to the U.S. District Court for their unconstitutional acts in their city's time of great need," concluded Cox.

it incredibly is such an remarkable question, i became into thinking an identical ingredient. Nagin is thoroughly inept and the data to teach it being his long checklist of racially inspired statements--to no longer point out the occasion of unused college buses in NO that have been by no ability used to commute human beings that have been stranded from Katrina. (What a waste!) the only rationalization i ought to offer is that he's so a techniques removed from straightforward experience and reasoning that each physique those statements are all he can arise with. Race has no longer something to do with the matters of NO. the purpose could be to rebuild, inspite of the race of the citizen. provide up making excuses and get the paintings executed--a real chief would know this. such as you mentioned, a favorable concepts-set is a lot greater efficient. it must be only my theory yet I see him slowing down (or combating) NO's rebuilding technique by ability of his complaining. If only he ought to redirect his concentration into some thing advantageous. Who is conscious, which would be asking too lots of him. My opinion is that that's going to be a shame if his political existence is empowered by ability of others that consider him.

Because both parties are trying to make old laws apply to new situations...
The NRA is only that powerful in the state you mention...
It's just silly how the south gets so riled up over their gun ownership of all things....
You can't let a bunch of rednecks go shooting all the blacks when the power goes out - sorry, that's just the way it is.

Whle I agree he needs to be in Jail. Contempt of court is not always a jailable offence. It is up to the judge that finds you in contempt as to what you punnishment will be. Unlike the movies it is very rarely something that a judge will put you in jail for.
