It is HIGHLY illegal to be drinking while carrying or carrying while drinking, take your pick.
Oh so she was drunk and started the fight . I did not know that .
I don’t know what they have said or not said. Since when is it the duty of the victims to have a press conference about being attacked by a gang of thugs? Maybe they’re waiting for the police to do their damn jobs.
Have you seen the pictures of these two? If you had, you wouldn't ask such a ridiculous question. She's an aid to the Governor!! They're college-educated, suburban white as it gets. Yeah, they picked a fight with a crowd......
You honestly think she tripped on the curb and broke her leg?!!? Come on! There’s reserving judgment until all of the evidence is in and then there’s stretching while looking for alternate conclusions!!
On the contrary, it is not HIGHLY illegal to drink while you carry or carry while you drink. It is illegal to be intoxicated while carrying. There is a difference.
Probably different state laws where you are vs where I am. The laws vary a lot.
The CCHL instructor was very specific about it.
No drink in your hand, no alcohol in your system.
Besides, it’s just common sense that you shouldn’t be impaired with that kind of responsibility on you.
Drudge finally got around to linking to one of the reports about it today.
Amazing what someone can do when they don’t feel like taking dictation from the governor and actually do a little reporting.
And, I might add, they did so after Jindal's people intervened and poured cold water on the story.
Will the MSM cover this now?
I propose someone start a “rumor” that 2 Obama fans were beaten by Tea Partiers and see how fast the media jumps on it.....would be the best scheme to humiliate the MSM....if someone then said ooooopsss...it was the other way around...
Someone with the resources could do it....I just know it... someone should just twitter it....or viral email it...something....
> What a bunch of BS.
If this was political then why aren’t these victims speaking out to the press themselves?
I agree. This is the type of thing that Bush let go because he’s ‘above responding’ that hurt his presidency more than the stupid spending programs he avocated - which hurt a lot! When you don’t respond then you just ‘give’ the incident to the Left. This is where Republicans always fail, whether it’s Bob Dole not understanding that he was actually the ‘_majority_ leader’ or Trent Lott handing over the Senate to Daschele when it was ‘tied’. Sigh. We REALLY should get rid of some of these wimpy a$$ho!e$ and find some people that know how, and can play, the game of politics. And if that means lowering your esteem for Jindal then so be it!
Yep. At least there are a few conservative sites around that don’t take dictation from politicians.
They cannot lean on The Hayride. They have no leverage on him.

You are correct that all states are different to a certain degree and you are right about the common sense aspect of it. The instructor here said similar things as in "zero tolerance" but if you go to the actual law there is a distinction between having a drink while you carry and being intoxicated.
Just sayin'
Hello! We had all kinds of media types reporting “slurs” and “spitting” at a tea party rally. No coverage of a political beating? We need to support our own media, so that this kind of thing gets reported. The media is obviously biased and unresponsive.
Some desperate part of my brain wondered if we should also call the campus priest. I wanted the full authority of the Church to confront this demon, or whatever was causing this horrible scene. I wanted the priest to bring the Eucharist and watch the spirits fall before the power of Christ's Real Presence. But I was scared. I wondered what would happen if the Eucharist did nothing and the priest was helpless. What if the consecrated Bread was just bread? What if the Church had no power over the cause of Susan's bizarre behavior? I was unable to pray and too frightened to test my Church's spiritual strength.
Strangely, I found myself repeating the Hail Mary until it became a chant. Being a recent convert to Catholicism, I had yet to accept the Catholic doctrines concerning Mary and considered any form of Marian devotion to be idolatry. Though I had never before prayed a Hail Mary in my life, I suddenly found myself incapable of any other form of prayer. Somehow, Mary's intercessions allowed me to find peace during that long night; I knew that I had survived the worst and that I would exit with my faith intact. It terrified me to recall how close I came to turning away from Christ out of fear. --Bobby Jindal, 1994
Show me someone who wants to vacation in New Orleans, and I will show you someone who has never been there.
Good.
