Dukes of Hazzard Star Exposes LA Flood Cleanup After 5 Weeks

A Facebook Live video Saturday morning by John Schneider, who played “Bo Duke” on Dukes of Hazzard, is going viral.

The video is a drive-through of neighborhoods in Louisiana which were devastated by the flood five weeks ago. Home after home after home still has a mountain of trash piled in front of it, just waiting for clean-up crews to come and remove. Schneider said thankfully you can only see the video, and can’t smell the stench.

He says he wanted to show Americans just how much “help” the Obama administration has provided to Louisianans whose homes were ruined – some beyond repair – by the flood. Most people just want the destroyed furniture and rotten sheetrock hauled away so they can clean up their neighborhoods and start rebuilding their lives.

You claim states rights and limited government yet now Obama is supposed to be in charge of your local trash pickup? And lets not even start on the GOP response to Katrina.

Troll much?

That isn't "local trash pickup", Sparky.

FEMA is supposed to co-ordinate disaster cleanup, but all they seem to accomplish is spending millions of dollars.

The millions have been allocated, but the 80% of the money is still being fought over by the politicians before they will release the 20% they will actually spend on the cleanup.

Remember Haiti?

Same thing. It's the Dems.

It IS as Trump says.

All they do -- ALL they do --- is talk and make promises. REALLY good speeches and rhetoric, lofty ideas and uplifting oratory.

That's it.

It's a politican's way of life. In addition to lying, cheating, stealing, killing, and bribe taking. And alcoholism. Ok, drug using, dealing, and financing, too. Might as well throw in pedophilia and fraud just to help complete the picture of these criminals that just need hanging more than anything.
Finally, obama isn't doing anything about THAT because he is devoting most of his time trying to import as many terrorists as possible before we kick his ace to the curb. And telling the world what a f"d up country we are....what a great president!
I made that last part up.
Keep cheering.

Send the people from the Outter Banks down there. They can have it cleaned up in days with no problem. They are amazing at how fast they can move trash like this and keep Route 12 open or have it repaired.

Their local government is getting $$ from the emergency funds. What are they spending it on? Trash pickup is obviously not on the list.

733 brrrrr, wrong again.

FEMA doles out money to the state and locals. These entities hire contractors and work with their own teams to actually coordinate clean-up. Sheesh folks, atleast get you story right before trying to walk around upset about an issue.

Some of that stuff probably can't safely be burned. Im not sure how much would burn anyway as water logged as it may be.

Burning would not be a good option for most of that stuff. Im sure most of it would be toxic if burned.

Yeah Obama and Clinton have done a world of good for Louisiana haven't they? Anyone voting for Clinton is a moron. This is the kind of dereliction you can expect if she becomes queen. Let them eat cake, baby.
