Although the recent flooding in Louisiana has tragically taken somewhat of backseat to the Olympics in national headlines, more light has been shone on this event when one couple took it upon themselves to serve up a huge barbecue for flood victims and those in need.
The flooding in the state has damaged over 40,000 homes and has taken at least 13 lives. But Christian and Amanda Dornhorst hoped to be a light in the lives of those living in a temporary homeless shelter by serving them up a feast. [1]

(ANTIMEDIA) Baton Rouge, La – Over 30,000 people were rescued from their homes this week as torrential downpours caused massive flooding in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. So far, the disaster has claimed eleven lives and destroyed over 40,000 homes, leaving some areas completely devastated.

Louisiana deputies served a search warrant last week on the home of a local police officer named Wayne Anderson in an attempt to identify the person behind ExposeDat, an anonymously published government watchdog blog that has been reporting on the ethically questionable business transactions of parish public officials since mid-June.

Almost two weeks have passed since the shooting of Alton Sterling in Louisiana and police continue to stall the release of video from officer body cameras as well as the Triple S Food Mart surveillance cameras, the latter which they seized without a warrant.

The man who police say shot and killed three police officers in Baton Rouge today is a U.S. Marine veteran who served in Iraq named Gavin Eugene Long.

One of the three police officers killed today in Baton Rouge just became a father, according to social media reports from a man who referred to himself as a “former partner” of the officer.
