Looks like things are getting back to normal there.
Has it occured to anyone that these guys on the bridge just might have been duck hunting? The season started the first of September, and it's not unusual to be birding on a wknd near NO. If this is the case, and it may not be, there's a lot of explaining to do.
At any rate, Louisiana has lots of hunters and sportsmen and it would be horrible for the police to confuse them with outlaws.
