Mark Zuckerberg's PAC spent $200,000 to oust Orleans Parish Sheriff. The Times – Picayune reported:
An organization backed by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg donated $200,000 last week to a local political action committee trying to unseat Sheriff Marlin Gusman, underscoring the national attention his re-election bid on Saturday has drawn.
The tax-exempt group, FWD.us, made the donation to the PAC for Justice on Dec. 1. The national group is not required to disclose its donors, but Zuckerberg is among several Silicon Valley figures who took part in its creation.
The donation is the fifth-largest single contribution to a PAC for an election in Louisiana this year. The top four went to a PAC supporting a proposed casino in Slidell....
The PAC for Justice has flooded local airwaves and social media with last-minute attack ads accusing Gusman of self-dealing and mismanagement....
The single money drop from Zuckerberg’s group represents more money than Hutson has raised from donors her entire campaign, at $131,000. Rest of article.
Make no mistake, the Sheriff had a troubled tenure since elected. However, his replacement has no law enforcement experience at all although she is made a career out of "monitoring" the police. Don't expect crime in New Orleans to improve.

They want anarchy but to what ends?
KF: Why do you keep posting a link to a site that I would have to subscribe to in order to read the article? What a waste of my time.
Use Firefox on a PC with Privacy and Security settings set to 'Strict' and jam [Esc] the moment after the link loads the story in your browser. Doing so stops the sub popup that precludes you from reading the article. Works far more often than not and for the link KF provides here on this item.
10:59 if this was a waste of your time then your time is borderline worthless already.

Orleans Parish is like Jackistan right now, except maybe for the Garden District up to the WWII Museum. The PD is very understaffed, which has caused the Mardi Gras parade route to be shortened due to the lack of officers.
Lock and load in NOLA.
Incumbent Sheriff Gusman had zero experience when he was elected 17 years ago.
He is the king of graft….watch for indictments when he’s gone.
Big money donors have ruined American politics. The entire thing is set up to serve the highest bidder.
Zuck needs control of law enforcement because he has already stated that at some point, when you die in the Metaverse, you die in real life.
This ought to be fun for the folks in NOLA.
If we were a serious country, the likes of Soros and Zuckerberg would be expelled to Antarctica. Name another country that would put up with wealthy globalists attacking the very bedrock holding the country together - justice.
My family and I are attending the Sugar Bowl, but are driving in on the day of the game, and afterwards, staying in Covington, LA at the Southern Hotel. New Orleans makes Jackson look like Mayberry.
Zuck owns the NOLA Sheriff? Hell, Bill Gates owns 17,000 acres of Miss. farmland, and George Soros owns Grey Daniels. Your F150 finances the Socialists.
All this BS aside, It's a mystery why Zuckerberg would give a damn who the sheriff of New Orleans is or will be. Or if, in fact, he even knows the donation has been made.
