I found this interesting.

Surely Miss Lloyd wouldn't accept Gene Allen's offer to attend the pageant with her if her platform is on solutions to poverty. Considering the fact the money he is using to help fund his trip is being taken from a town with a large amount of it's people living in poverty. If Miss Lloyd is serious about helping finding a solution to poverty she should stand up to her mother and let her mother know it's wrong to use funds from a poverty stricken town to help someone fund their trip to go along with her.

Thanks for the link envyme, I just emailed a complaint to the Louisiana Legislative Auditor. I hope they look into it and do something about it. Thank God Glen won this time and that Narcissist Pig is on his way out the door.

On Councilman walks out of Ferriday special meeting

I'm not sure why the deceased cousin told me 2 others died that were with him. I am assuming that is what his family was original told. I will call tomorrow and find out why she thought 3 died. That is exactly why I didn't post the names of anyone else because I didn't have permission to say anything about them and hadn't confirmed anything with the other families. What law enforcement thought caused the wreck could change I assume since they are/were doing an investigation. When this breaking news occurred all information was new and the community was in shock. Everyone was posting and reading comments to try to figure out what happened. DahlingILuvUButGiveMeParkAve I am curious to why you scrolled down to read the comments on the article. Because you stated in your post:

"Details of the accident and the names of the deceased should be coming from law enforcement and the coroners office, not people posting comments on the Democrat."

I am not trying to be rude or get on your case but I am curious to what you were expecting people to be commenting about on here. Were you yourself curious and wanting to know who was hurt or what happened? To my knowledge the proper authorities don't usually post the details they have under the comments section.

I agree some cruel person could play a cruel joke on another and post a name or incident that didn't actually happen on here, but that cruel person could also "prank call" a family and do the same thing, only over the phone the cruel person could act as law enforcement. It's really the same difference I think. However the cruel prank caller could reach his intended target directly by telephone and on here maybe the cruel persons comment could be removed before the intended target read it if the comment is found out to be totally untrue. Maybe I thought to much into this but the wrong information can be posted on the net or by someone using the telephone.

firered The very first line of my post stated I had just talked to one of his family members. I am very good friends with several of Terrance's family members. Terrance's family was gathered at his house today grieving. Yes I had permission to use his name. Why didn't I post anyone else's name that died? Because I didn't have an ok from their family to post their names.

I meant to say "bridge"..... Also the reason the bridge is closed is because they are waiting on the State Police to investigate. I am not sure if that is standard procedure or not in a fatality. Does anyone know? I asked if they were racing or firing guns she said no. But, if all the people in the vehicle with Terrance died, is the family certain what actually happened? Do the police think it could be more to the story? Not sure of the condition of the white boys that were going the wrong way down the bridge. I'm white, my friend that told me the story is black and she referred to them that way. It's not racist, she was just trying to tell me all the information she knew.

Just talked to one of the family members of one of the guys that got killed. She said her cousin Terrance Johnson aged 19 was killed along with 2 others that were with him. They were all where under the age of 20, the 3 killed were all from Ferriday. She also said some guys in another vehicle were going down the wrong side of the bride and that's what caused the wreck.

I agree with bayougranny they need to keep the breaking news updated. It has only been 2 hours since ND reported on this so maybe they will update it. The rumor I heard: 2 people died it was a several car pile up. One vehicle was going the wrong way on the bridge and gunshots were also fired before the wreck.

Both boys are ok, the driver was 17 and air lifted to Jackson but will be home in 3-4 days. He has a few cracked vertebrae. The passenger had only a few scratches. No alcohol was involved I heard.

I totally agree with Pensess. By the way "guy2co" the people of Ferriday including the business owners did complain about the speed limit and it was raised from 25 to 35 down the main strip of town. Now the speed limit even goes up to 45 once the road widens and a turning lane is present. I drive through Ferriday daily and have never got a ticket or been pulled over. I follow the law and so far it has worked for me. I would hate to be pulled over by a Ferriday cop, I don't trust them, the chief of police or mayor. The speed limit is the least of the concerns for Ferriday, it's all the other corrupt and crooked stuff going on that 's the problem.
