The latest delay in the planned implosion of the ruined Hard Rock Hotel structure brought out a number of vocal protesters to City Hall Saturday.
Mayor LaToya Cantrell a repeatedly pushed to have the building blown up as the most expedient way of mitigating the crisis.
Late Thursday she said the demolition would not take place in mid-March as promised.
Cantrell blamed the delay on needing the State's approval of an immunity agreement with demolition contractor D.H. Griffin and Company of Greensboro, North Carolina.
Protesters took to City Hall to voice their anger over giving what appears to be an escape clause to the City and the company should anything go wrong and damage is done to a number of historic structures immediately around the collapsed building.
One protester was particularly vocal, calling out City Hall leaders and accusing them: "We believe the City of New Orleans and the City Council has committed criminally negligent homicide upon those innocent people that were in the Hard Rock Hotel. We believe they should be held accountable, And the City should not be going to the Governor to try and get a pass on everything that happens."
There is still no actual date on when the demolition will take place. The Mayor's office now says it could be in late April.
