Does this mean that New Orleans is back to normal?

The true spirit of New Orleans obviously survived the Katrina disaster.

This can't be. Everyone in New Orleans knows that parade routes are GUN FREE ZONEs. It says in the rules that CHL people are not allowed to carry at parades.

On Mardi Gras Day, 2009, Louis Lazone (L), 18, escorted by Officer Andrew
Waldron, and Mark Brooks (R), 19, with Officer Carlos Amador, are taken into
Central Lock-Up after being arrested on seven counts of attempted first
degree murder following the shooting on St. Charles Avenue at Second Street
which left seven people, including a 20-month-old child, with gunshot wounds.

So it looks like some of the New Orleans transplants finally moved from Houston back to their hometown.

All I can say is, 'thank god for sports', because these chaps wouldn't have a decent coat to wear without their favourite club's insignia. </british accent>

Well, that’s that for Mardi Gras. Just another milepost on the road to barbarism.

Someone will find a way to blame Phillies Phans since the first POS is wearing a Phillies jacket. JK!!!

Seriously though, it would appear to be gangs since they’re both wearing red jackets. Bloods???

Prayers for the victims. It’s amazing no one was killed.

Meanwhile, the rest of Mardi Gras pretty much went off without a problem.

BTW, most of the injured were grazed. Now I wouldn’t want to be even grazed, but that hardly constitutes “gunned down.”

Probably not Bloods. Most likely Gotti boys, but, usually they don’t wear colors. I’m sure a Freeper from that area has better info than I do.

What kind if irresponsible parent brings a toddler to Mardi Gras? No, wait, let me guess, the kind that votes for the zero.
