These floats have been this long and with multiple pieces for at least 30 years.


The problem is not the floats.



The problem is lack of personal responsibility.

Latoya’s reaction is typical govt nanny state that thinks you waive a magic wand and govt away human stupidity.


You really want to protect the public from itself.


Just ban Parades all together.


That’s the state of the world today.

If Mardi Gras was simply canceled, it wouldn't bother me at all...but this decision is simply stupid.

You would think someone in the krews knows someone and would have a judge pecker slap her but as always, bacchus panders to it. Canceling Endymion was a dumb decision, and "banning" floats is a dumb decision. After listening to the police sup on the news, it's not surprising. God help New Orleans

I could make a float about this, but it would have to be tandem. For the knee part.

You felt the need to start a new thread for this?

In an effort to protect the public from itself I think Latoya also needs to ban the following

large crowds congregating

Alcohol sales at public events

People yelling and cheering to loud at saints games.

We also need barricades along the street car lines so that no one attempts to cross

We need IQ and coordination tests for the parade going public. If you're too stupid to know not to get between floats, then you should at least exhibit the athletic ability, reflexes and speed to avoid getting run over. To simulate real world conditions, all testing should be performed with a minimum BAC of 0.20.

The testing should start with LaToya.

How many more people need to drown in the river before we build barriers along the entire length of the Mississippi in Orleans Parish?

Absolutely knee jerk reaction. Put walkers on the hitch gaps

You can’t slip under a float

The only way you get knocked under or overran is if you are in the hitch gap
You have to place yourself in the hitch gap.

You can’t fix stupid.
