Rep. Hardy is a no-nonsense, hard working person who runs counter to some of the bums who only want the welfare checks. Rep. Hardy is not popular with time wasting do nothings. Most African Americans (like all people) are hard working good citizens. They want to make their lives better. Rep Hardy represents the latter. - Charlotte Thib Fri, 08 Jul 2011 20:23:17 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/8610-are-you-ready-to-rumble#comment-19483 Downtown and Upper Lafayette have always been a mixed community, completely diverse (economically, racially, ethnically) despite the constant references to minority and poverty that the local media and the race pimps are very guilty of constantly indulging in. Hardy has put an end to the "us against them" campaign and it is refreshing. His work in BR is very commendable. He has my vote again! - realitycheck Fri, 08 Jul 2011 06:09:37 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/8610-are-you-ready-to-rumble#comment-19480 We are not created equal, "Some of them are lowlife thieves and we are " Not ! - NORTHSIDIAN SHOTGUN Thu, 07 Jul 2011 22:10:08 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/8610-are-you-ready-to-rumble#comment-19479 Beheard, please pick up your check at the St. Joseph diner before 5:00 P.M. tomorrow, your unkle Joey, ya too Barb.. - NORTHSIDIAN SHOTGUN Thu, 07 Jul 2011 22:08:18 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/8610-are-you-ready-to-rumble#comment-19472 "rich whiteys"? Really, Wally? Rickey Hardy is one of the hardest working legislators in the state. Although I am not a "rich whitey", I appreciate Representative Hardy's efforts to expose corruption, and I suggest that he can run on his record of integrity and hard work. He doesn't need endorsements from anyone to get my vote. - Lagniappe Thu, 07 Jul 2011 20:11:15 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/8610-are-you-ready-to-rumble#comment-19459 Here, here!! - Amen Thu, 07 Jul 2011 12:59:53 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/8610-are-you-ready-to-rumble#comment-19445 President Barack Obama ran on a platform that reminded us that we are not a white America or a black America but the United States of America. And today Rickey Hardy runs on a platform that we are not a North Lafayette or a South Lafayette, but we are the City of Lafayette. And our city proudly boasts of good and decent black, red, brown, and white citizens. So when Rickey Hardy holds them all to the same standards, we should be proud of his courage. And when he sees someone stealing, lying, or cheating, the fact that he doesn't first ascertain the race, color, or creed before condemning the conduct. That is the essence of a good elected official, and that is the foundation for America's ideal that we are all created equal. Keep up the good work, Rickey. - We Are One Community Thu, 07 Jul 2011 10:33:15 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/8610-are-you-ready-to-rumble#comment-19443 Vote Joey!!!!!!!! - barb Thu, 07 Jul 2011 10:11:39 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/8610-are-you-ready-to-rumble#comment-19438 Rickey Hardy provides honest and integrity to a House Legislative District that was long without them. Hardy's honesty and his efforts on behalf of the poor and the working class are too much for the black good 'ol boys. As for mention of the thief, Chris Williams, in Pierce's editorial, the public needs to be be reminded that the biggest thief of their benefits and money masquerades as one of their own. - The way it is. Thu, 07 Jul 2011 07:45:13 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/8610-are-you-ready-to-rumble#comment-19436 p.s. how much does the the city pay in our tax dollars for that danged "street sense" ad to promote REDFLEX up in the corner there?! Should be "street cents, dollars, big bucks for scameras" - realitycheck Thu, 07 Jul 2011 06:58:51 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/8610-are-you-ready-to-rumble#comment-19435 "His endorsement of Hardy in 2007 could have been an albatross, but it most certainly helped Hardy capture that sizable majority of the white vote" You give Durel too much credit!! Durel's "support" was only expedient to get Williams out of his way. Durel's neglect of the Upper Lafayette area and elitist attitude do not give him any credibility there. He has even less influence today, in light of his aggressive campaign to steal family homes, businesses and properties by expropriation under the guise of "blight". "Good intention" my foot, Walter! HB531 (which you never bothered to read) was the road to hell for the inner core and upper Lafayette. It doesn't get any more personal than that and Durel's desire to be Robin daHood has been shown. Durel could not get a glass of water if his hair was on fire in Upper Lafayette; he's history!! Mr. Hardy does not need any endorsement from anyone; he's doing a great job for all!! - realitycheck Thu, 07 Jul 2011 06:55:33 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/8610-are-you-ready-to-rumble#comment-19420 Once again Walter and theIND is being entertained by the politics of North Lafayette. Rickey Hardy once again has made our community look like a bunch of morons. Mr. Pierce, I am really starting to believe that you have either a "man-crush" or a "personal vendetta" against Chris Williams. Hardy and Pierre are the guys running, not Williams. And your article makes it very clear that you enjoy seeing disruption and chaos in OUR community, but as long as our REPRESENATIVE provides entertainment you can't help it. - beheard Wed, 06 Jul 2011 20:42:26 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/8610-are-you-ready-to-rumble#comment-19404 grate article mastah pierce. you being a elite riich white man telling us what is and isnt. grate article to sell newpapers while deing divisive for community. you shoulds be proud of your reel good writing abilitys. keep up the good work, maybe you can cause much of more hate even if it not real. - say what?

By Walter Pierce" ------------------------ I saw their photos; you got that right. - Colon Flow Wed, 06 Jul 2011 12:17:14 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/8610-are-you-ready-to-rumble#comment-19396 Let the truth be told! Vincent Pierre IS in default of his child support payments in the thousands of dollars. That is a fact and public record Pierre is separated from his wife. That is a fact. Pierre was forced to resign from his position with the LA Lottery for sexual harassment. Though the LA Lottery can only say that he voluntarily resigned, the verified facts and statements from those involved will come out as Pierre continues to pursue this idiocy. Pierre has a child out of wedlock. That is a fact. This too will be exposed in its totality as Pierre continues to pursue this idiocy. - The truth is, Wed, 06 Jul 2011 10:21:43 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/8610-are-you-ready-to-rumble#comment-19394 Wilfred Pierre's hatred of Rep. Hardy is so great that he put his nephew in harm's way to gratify an emotional need to get back at Hardy. This is yet another attempt by the old black political structure, - Chris Williams et al - to regain power at the expense of the poor African-Americans in the district. This is their attempt to get that Cleo Fields briefcase full of money, while their poor black friends continue to live from paycheck to paycheck. I saw Vincent Pierre at the Red, White and Boom festival on the Fourth being escorted around by a black employee of the UL administration. This is the same administration that has kept Chris Williams employed even throughout the LHA fiasco. - yesidoknow Wed, 06 Jul 2011 09:34:16 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/8610-are-you-ready-to-rumble#comment-19385 "The Independent" should not just talk about looking into all of the allegations against Pierre, they must look into and investigate every one of them. Since Pierre would not speak against any of the allegations, his very silence more than lends credence to them. Pierre "talks the talk" to the people he wants to vote for him because he learned at his uncle's knee how to b.s. them. Everyone knows that Pierre cannot "walk the walk" because his history tells what he really is: a phony. - The way it is. Wed, 06 Jul 2011 07:10:54 +0100
