Surprised? Not me
"John Lyons Jr. has decided not to pursue his lawsuit against a Broadmoor man who said he rescued more than 200 residents from post-Katrina floodwaters after commandeering Lyons' boat.

'Does a natural disaster give an individual the right to break into private property, take possessions of others, not return them and then have no responsibility to the rightful owner? If this becomes a precedent, then we, the citizens, will ultimately pay the price.'" -The Times-Picayune
Um...yeah. If I'm in my house when 10 feet of water inundate my home, I'm going to steal the neighbor's boat and rescue as many people as possible. If you want to sue me, that's fine. But you'll get yours. I was hoping the case would go to court because I don't believe a judge in the city would side with the plaintiff.
What a bunch of BS.
Time to go.
