...on the original post/story...sad, but not surprising, and it isn't new, it's just news NOW because of the events of the past 5 years there. I always avoided the bigger parades when I grew up there, too many stupid drunk idiots, doing too much stupid drunk idiot stuff. Interestingly, MOST of the worst offenders weren't "natives"....

Look man, there are idiots everywhere, just add alcohol, y'know.
As for "getting rid of the place", you do realize the importance of the Port of New Orleans to the economy of the entire United States of America, don't you?
No, you don't do you.
...want to talk about the history of the city?
...what it has done for music, or is that not important to you, being as you're on a forum for bassists?
Before you open your mouth, you should really edit what you say, as a very well-known truth will apply:
"It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt."

A) Learn to be more clear when being a smart@$$.
B) I wasn't "feeding trolls", just smacking down what appeared to be an utterly ill informed individual that needed a reality check.

But most interesting to me is that the writer goes out of his way to state that one of the two women (without saying which ?!) was an innocent bystander, but fails to label the one-year-old similarly.
Perhaps because it's an obvious fact. Or MAYBE because the one year old wasn't an innocent bystander but was strapped and gang bangin' and deserved what was coming to him.
A disgraced baby fighter who turned to violence outside the cage when his career fell apart? Perhaps. |
