The OJ verdict was about to be read, I was stuck in traffic right in front of City Hall It was surreal, I’m the only white guy for blocks and I swear everybody stopped and was waiting for the verdict ... I put my Bronco in 4WD and thought ... I am not taking a brick to the head for this BS
Verdict announced... Street Party ensues, I went back to 2 wheel drive I moved as quick as I could to small town Texas

Heh, if you'd had to make a "dynamic escape", I might've seen it. At the time, I worked in the Energy Centre building at the corner of Poydras St. and Loyola Ave., diagonally across from the civil court and City Hall buildings. But yeah, *everybody* in the office was packing heat that day.

*** “I worked in the Energy Centre building at the corner of Poydras St. and Loyola Ave., diagonally across from the civil court and City Hall buildings. But yeah, *everybody* in the office was packing heat that day” ***

My Wife worked for Sewerage and Water Board, I just got used to going home past City Hall, I worked at Jackson Barracks and we got off early that day

I was also Active Duty at the time and in Uniform so I was worried about what I may have to do to get out of the situation as well as what the ramifications were going to be after that (I always worried about double, triple or quadruple trouble, there is Fed, State and Local Laws and then the UCMJ) and then there is “It’s New Orleans”

My Wife caught a ride home that day so I did not have to run that gauntlet again that day to pick her up ...
