Two Baton Rouge residents have filed a statewide recall petition for Governor Jeff Landry.

The recall effort is being headed by Marion Gbaiwon and Katie Stepter. The pair say that Landry's actions, "undermine fair representation, misalign state priorities away from the needs of Louisiana communities, and emphasize punitive approaches over meaningful, long-term solutions."

The Secretary of State's office says the two have 180 days to gather hand-written signatures from 20 percent of voters across Louisiana, which is just under 600,000 people.

Multiple people saw a man and young woman arguing this morning outside of the Phoenix for about 30 mins. Multiple people called 911 when he threw her on the ground. One person said they saw him punch her in the back of the head at the intersection of saint Claude & EF (where there are definitely cameras).

Another person who called said he saw them going south on Touro. Hoping somebody can help her bc she looked pretty terrified, and the cops who came seemed to just shrug it off bc he had already taken her to a second location.

Heavy set black male with short hair, wearing dark sweatshirt and dark jeans probably ~ 5'10" and a petite black female probably ~5'5"-5'7" with a bright multicolored jacket with patches of neon pink.

So weird with all these fucking cameras, drones, and multiple witnesses there's no way to help this young lady who seemed to be clearly trying to remain in a visible public place for a reason...
