They are basically a second parade group behind who actually put together the parade.

Ok... must be a N.O. thing...

Also it said there have been shootings at these events before. The only reason it made national news this time is because........well you know.

They shoot each other all the time down there, this is nothing new. Hell, everyone remembers those idiots shooting at cops trying to rescue people after Katrina. Definitely a anti gun movement thing.

The best way to kill a stereotype is to stomp on the people who act in a way that perpetuates it, not allow them to hide in the general population by keeping your mouth shut.

Of course the same statement applies to the NOPD too. If I was black, poor, and living in NO I'd probably avoid getting on that corrupt organization's radar as well.

Two places where I would never live, because of reported ingrained police corruption, are NOLA and Miami.
