Hey ! Table 4 needs service , HAUL YOUR ASS ! - NORTHSIDIAN SHOTGUN Tue, 08 Dec 2009 02:59:03 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/9-indnews/5225#comment-4458 Northsidian...hate to tell you this, but Lafayette has been divided into North and South WAY before I came along. As far as I can tell, it will continue to be that way. Hub City Ford, along with other business on the northside are even PROMOTING it! I believe an organization has been formed to futher promote UPPER Lafayette. Sorry if you can handle it. As a former resident of the northside, after many years of hard work, determination and sacrifice, I moved BACK to the southside. The rampant crime, drug use, low performing schools just wasn't appealing to me nor my family. The lack of self-respect shows in Upper Lafayette. I don't have to suck a 'teat' to respect myself, my property or education. I've EARNED it...now back to your miserable life... - Southsider Tue, 01 Dec 2009 22:05:29 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/9-indnews/5225#comment-4361 What a hell of a mess NEW ORLEANS would be in. would it divide itself into SOUTH NEW ORLEANS---------------NORTH NEW ORLEANS !!!!!!!!!!!!!! LAFAYETTE IS WHAT IT IS , THROUGH THE CONCERTED EFFORTS OF MANY, HARD WORKING, NORTHSIDE/SOUTHSIDE CITIZENS. YOU WITH THE RESPECT "SLUR", get back on your teat !!!!!!!!! - NORTHSIDIAN SHOTGUN Fri, 27 Nov 2009 15:59:28 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/9-indnews/5225#comment-4326 INDY, the above post from Southsider deserves an appropriate retort: Southsider's comment had ta've been picked from the bottom of the PARROT's cage at DURELS PET SHOP. This limp wrist Bus station cruisin, Couillion! AWWWWWWW ! ya got more class than to allow Southsider To slide, with his comment.LET ME TALK TO HIM, CAJUN STYLE, BACK-HAND dat MAMA's BOY! - NORTHSIDIAN SHOTGUN : Wed, 25 Nov 2009 13:37:58 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/9-indnews/5225#comment-4310 Southsider, respect on the northside is NOT EARNED by sucking up to the POWER ELITE!! Also SUCK-UPS are actually disrespected!! But you would never understand. - northsidian Tue, 24 Nov 2009 18:12:58 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/9-indnews/5225#comment-4294 To Clint: Why should schools get free money from the hard work done by the parents and vounteers at other schools? They should get off their lazy rear ends and voluteer their OWN service. To Northsidian: Now thats funny. Respect must be EARNED, which apparently is hard to come by on the northside - Southsider Tue, 24 Nov 2009 01:03:24 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/9-indnews/5225#comment-4247 Ya'll really don't understand. Where Mr. Hardy lives respect is a very BIG part of the culture. Being dissed in the hood will lead to bad payback. I am not b.s.ing, respect in his culture means everything. It's about the respect for your fellow man that you yuppies and power elite will never understand. Because, the only time you have ever crossed the tracks is to go to the country club or the interstate. - northsidian Sun, 22 Nov 2009 06:56:19 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/9-indnews/5225#comment-4216 Another one of his ideas: 1. He wanted to be able to take the monies raised by the parents and volunteers at various schools (PTA), and give that money to schools where there was no parental or volunteer involvement. REJECTED - Clint Reno Fri, 20 Nov 2009 10:18:46 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/9-indnews/5225#comment-4176 Hardy had so many good ideas rejected by the School Board when he was there, simply because they came from him, no wonder he's bent. 1. He wanted to use immate labor during the summer to paint, clean, cut grass and perform maintenance at our schools, which are in deplorable condition. REJECTED 2. He wanted to go to a lease bus system with only board drivers in order to reduce the ballooning transportation costs (in the millions) associated with contract drivers. REJECTED 3. He wanted to eliminate the practice of giving contract drivers money to buy a bus, and then paying them salary to drive it, while also giving them operational expenses. REJECTED 4. He wanted to move Northside High School to the new N.P. Moss campus and make the Northside campus a technical school, because it already had the shop equipment to make the transition. REJECTED 5. He opposed paying over $300,000 to buy out Dr. Easton's contract, when the new board could have just as easily let him finish his contract while they advertised for the position. REJECTED Hardy is sometimes off the wall, but the board always killed the messenger. The School Board has hurt the kids more than Hardy has. Just remember, the $746,000 isn't going into the kids pockets, it's going into adults pockets, who we hope are helping the kids. - yesidoknow Thu, 19 Nov 2009 12:55:33 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/9-indnews/5225#comment-4166 mal⋅fea⋅sance  /mælˈfizəns/ –noun Law. the performance by a public official of an act that is legally unjustified, harmful, or contrary to law; wrongdoing (used esp. of an act in violation of a public trust).

He was there along with many constituents to discuss the fate of NP Moss and Northside High School. His move on these grant funds occurred just prior. Attention getting? You bet. Is there going to be a special meeting on NP Moss? You bet. Is Mr. Hardy a force that LPSS is going to have to continue to recon with? You bet. - You Bet Wed, 18 Nov 2009 12:57:25 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/9-indnews/5225#comment-4158 This is nothing but a "Kiss the Ring" elected entitlement mentality by State Representative Hardy with no regard to how his actions will negatively impact the people that he is representing. Change should be forthcoming in 2011. - ADS Wed, 18 Nov 2009 12:35:05 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/9-indnews/5225#comment-4157 I'm wondering how long the independent is going ot hang on to rickey like he is some kind of genius. doesn't anybody over there on jefferson street understand how stupid you look? these stories are a joke. wake up and smell the coffee. until you do, my business will be pulling our ads. - the thinker Wed, 18 Nov 2009 12:09:12 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/9-indnews/5225#comment-4152 Hardy is an idiot and will find out soon enough what happens when he plays "hard ball" with his constituents. Ricky Hardy has an awfully big ego for someone who is so blatantly stupid. Or maybe he is just drive home his point, "If you think education is expensive, try ignorancy." Yes he said that. It is such a stupid statement that it made the Jay Leno show. Can someone please explain how such an idiot got where he is, I mean without an ex-president for a father and all. - citizen Wed, 18 Nov 2009 09:23:41 +0100
