Krewe of Endymion cancels parade role for Mel Gibson, citing safety concerns and ‘threats’


quote:

NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - Sixteen hours after announcing that actor-director Mel Gibson would join Tulane University football coach Willie Fritz as co-Grand Marshal of the 2023 Endymion Mardi Gras parade, the krewe rescinded the decision Sunday (Jan. 8), citing safety concerns and threats.

“The Krewe of Endymion has received significant feedback about our grand marshall announcement yesterday evening,” Endymion captain Dan Kelly said in a statement. “Some of this commentary included threats that cause us great concern.

“In the best interest of the safety of our riders, special guests and everyone that welcomes us on the streets, Mel Gibson will not ride as a co-Grand Marshal for our 2023 parade.”

They need to find out who made the threats and have them arrested.

Inviting a guy who is known to get drunk and say outrageous things to an event with copious amounts of alcohol and an available microphone. Gutsy.

I wonder how far down the list of people deemed appropriate they got before they got to Mel?

I can't think of a better person to lead a parade through a war zone than man who has starred in and directed what seemed like 100 war movies.
