I guess the shooters really wanted to kill him dead!

New Orleans must have one of the lowest wounded to kill ratios in the country. I know they got Chicago beat.

Chicken & Watermelon? Isn’t that racist? Would it be racist if a restaurant was opened up called WHAT BLACK FOLKS EAT?

Lost in the story - there is an eating establishment called “Chicken and Watermelon”. How has this place not been protested and either boycotted or forced to change its name?!?!?

Chicken & Watermelon

I wonder if Tiger Woods has ever eaten at that restaurant. Maybe Fuzzy Zoeller or Sergio Garcia could provide directions.

You really know the Culture War is burning hot when after a mass-shooting everyone starts jabbering about an unacceptable RESTAURANT NAME..!

shot him on the doorstep of Chicken & Watermelon, a neighborhood staple for chicken and watermelon punch. The two subjects then turned and fled down South Claiborne Avenue, leaving a bloody and chaotic scene in their wake, Nichols said.

Nichols arrived at his business Saturday after the shootings occurred to find a man dead on the doorstep of his restaurant and a woman dead at entrance to the Cricket Wireless store next door.

Kinda weird that the bodies were on the porch dead until the owner showed up........Likely just poor reporting.

A man bolted across Louisiana Avenue toward the businesses with two hooded subjects, one clutching a long gun and the other a pistol, trailing close behind. The duo haphazardly fired shots in the fleeing man's direction, striking patrons along the way,

Only an idiot would fire at someone while running.

You might as well be firing over your head.

Maybe if you are close enough to your intended target that you could grab him you might hit him.

I am not surprised that many other people were struck by these fools stray bullets. Not at all surprised that they didn’t hit their target until he was on the ground and they were standing over him.

I lived in NOLA for many years. South Claiborne is a street I’d avoid.

I can only imagine that one of those Confederate statues escaped from wherever they were being held and caused all of this mayhem. Once those statues were taken down, the city of New Orleans should have become one of the greatest places on Earth to be. All we heard about for weeks and months was how important it was that they be removed. That’s all you ever heard from Mayor “Photo-op”. Never mind that that city is nothing more than a dangerous cesspool (and that’s really being kind). Mayor “Photo-op” never cared about real issues effecting the city, he was just interested in getting his name out there for the Demoncratic party to take notice (he desperately wants to run for the Presidency in 2020. New Orleans used to be an historic city but not anymore.
