Mardi Gras ordinances approved by the NOLA City Council this morning (unanimous)
Posted on 1/23/14 at 10:08 am

The rules currently on the table are backed by Mayor Mitch Landrieu and enjoy wide support among council members. They would forbid:
Throwbacks (tossing throws back to the floats), subject to a fine of $250.
Chaining ladders together.
Placing ladders closer than 6 feet to the curb.
Roping off private areas.
Selling "snap pops" and stink bombs.
Riding the exterior of a vehicle in a parade.
The placing of private portable toilets in the public right of way, including neutral grounds.
The placing of tents, grills and other personal items in the public right of way.
I'll update, when a vote has been taken.
Heady, don't throw beads at the floats.

these all seem pretty reasonable

They all seem sensible to me.

Meanwhile, floats can't toss/hand spears anymore...at least we can't.

I imagine this includes the sidewalk and street corners.

I understand both sides, leaning towards no

I'm shocked there isn't currently a law against humming things back at the float riders. What a dick move.
They can pry my snap pops out of my cold dead hands though.

I have no problem with any of this. I ride and it sucks when you have to keep an eye out for some idiot taking a potshot at you with a hand full of beads or an empty bottle. One year some guy threw an empty beer bottle so hard that it stuck in the side of the float. Could have really hurt somebody.

Agree with almost everything.
Ladder Nazis - annoying and entitled
Snap Pops - annoying kids who parents have no control over
Throwbacks - White Trash

Fck yeah! Pass it and enforce all that stuff.
If you walk down Orleans today, you can probably see a paint outline of some guy claiming his 50 X 30' spot. The ropes will follow as the parade gets closer

What about the ones you're supposed to throw back at?

Ladders, ropes, and tents are the big ones I agree with. I hate that shite. I don't care about port-a-johns or snap pops.

I do this on Sunday before Mardi gras. It's a family atmosphere. We've never had any issues. I live on the Avenue. The tent is there for the kids. How else am I supposed to grill my oysters and enjoy Thoth?
eta...We don't rope anything off. That's just stupid.

I don't agree with these at all. Agree with the others though
