As many as 12 inured in shooting at New Orleans Mother's Day parade
Fox News ^ | May 12, 2013

Posted on 05/12/2013 3:17:31 PM PDT by SovereignVA

DEVELOPING: New Orleans police are searching for three suspects Sunday after at least 12 people were shot during a Mother’s Day parade.

Chief Serpas announced in a press conference that the youngest victim is believed to be a 10-year-old girl. Police say she suffered a graze wound, WVUE Fox 8 reported.

Police say about 300 were attending the traditional jazz band parade when shots were fired.

Serpas said that the procession had been accompanied by officers, who saw two or three suspects run from the scene in the city's 7th Ward.

Nobody has been arrested. It's unclear what sparked the gunfire.

If an NRA Member is involved in a shooting, they wait for the Police to arrive to take away the Body of the (room temperature) former Armed Assailant.

No descriptions of the suspects?

In our world of political correctness, lack of description is as important as description - and euphemisms take the place of facts.

Where there is a lack of suspect description, you can be reasonably sure it is a minority - probably black. If it is a terrorism type event and the media provide no description - the offender is probably a Muslim. If the story is about political crimes and no party affiliation is mentioned - you can be near 100% certain the bad guy/girl is a Democrat. These rules are not perfect and the media often get the story wrong initially, but they are a pretty good guide.

inured - past participle, past tense of in·ure (Verb)

1. Accustom (someone) to something, esp. something unpleasant.

2. Come into operation; take effect: “a release given to one of two joint contractors inures to the benefit of both”.

SV, unless you were here before with a different handle, you won't remember this guy, but you old timers will :

Y'all not gonna believe whose name I came across in the comments section of the 'Click for more from ..' link at the bottom of the page of Sovereign's original link posted above.

Anyone remember Michael Rivero ?
Surprisingly, his posted comment was actually reasonable .. assuming, of course, that it IS FR's late inimitable MR !

time warp LOL

Only CBS is reporting the race of the shooters. All of the other media are editing it out of their reports.

Police are looking for three suspects, one of which was described the suspect as a dark skin male, 18-22 years old with short hair, a white shirt and blue jeans. All suspects are still on the loose.

These dudes need to be given a free marksmanship training session at a Federal Law Enforcement Training center. Food stamps, Obamaphone, handgun training.

I’ve seen one of these guys in action close up and very personal. They don’t aim—they have a gun in each hand and just spray bullets in the general direction of their target. They will probably never be caught, at least not this time. Chances are they will be the targets next time because you can be sure someone in that crowed knew who they were. That was a 2nd line parade, by the way, a grand old tradition, and it’s a travesty to attack the participants.

I live here . not black. never been victim of a crime

statistics, probability ,look it up

yes an Adam Lanza sounds bad, but dying by lightning is many times more common than by mass shooter. probability ,something tiny brains can't comprehend

well let me make it simple . you don't blame all Americans for the actions of a few nuts like Adam Lanza, you don't take away all individual rights.

yes criminal murder is more common than mass shootings but still rare even thought the media doesn't make it seem’ like it is( a new study shows gun murders down etc.). most murders are black on black drug related crime in the hood.

Pretty sure someone knows them and with the cell phones today I bet there are videos of the event.

The following is a couple of links to photos of the area. The first one is, WRAL 15 photos, mostly police, etc and crime scene shots.

The second one, NOLA 10 photos, has a little more actual footage from the event as it was occurring as there was reporter in the area at the time. Click the arrow to scroll:

First off this was black on black retaliation. It’s how things are done in N.O. Second- this is how every holiday is celebrated- ‘second line’ means shooting line. Every thug knows that if you want to kill a rival or someone who ‘disrespected’ you, you wait till they parade down the street, or stand around watching parades, providing easy targets. The constantly amazing thing is that all natives know this- especially shooters or potential victims-yet they STILL offer themselves up as targets and are surprised when the bullets start flying. Talk about slow learners.
Top it all off with the tourists being lured to such ‘ambiance’ and the ‘funky streets’ and it’s like bringing blind children to a pack of feeding lions.
The streets of N.O. are a HUNTING GROUND. The predominant culture is feral. This stuff happens because the dominant population LIKES it.
If they celebrated Mothers Day is a sane, civilized way these people wouldn’t be shot.Give mom a present, a nice dinner...but no. There has to be drunken gyrating. Father’s day is non-existent, of course, but the insistence of celebrating everything with a booze-filled,raucous flash mob going down the street is what helps make the whole, backward,deteriorating sewer that is New Orleans a shooting gallery. It’s NORMAL here, folks! If you value your life, stay out of New Orleans. I do.

I know who Rivero is...if he is the idiot with a radio show who is ten times worse than Alex Jones or Jeff Rense. The dude is anti-Jew. I did read up on him a lot and I did know he once was on this site. he moved to Republic Broadcasting network after Rense kicked him off his network following Jones and his syndicator GCN dumping Rivero.

Just 4% out of a crowd of 300 shot, must have been holding the pistols sideways again.

I'm not worried.probability low.not likely to happen to outsiders or non-blacks, almost all of it is black on black ,drug related crime

if any do try I'm ready and armed though

media is trying to make it seem like another adam lanza. it's not just black on black drug crime
