re: LSU Gameday - Hypocrisy and Cultural Rot

I appreciate and respect your view. Sadly, you'll know this if you're a boomer also, you'll remember the days when we were a different society. Those are the real rights we lost, we took them for granted. We could go to a late night movie, we could walk on any street after dark, if you dropped your wallet someplace, it was more than likely it would be returned to you with nothing missing.

That's just human decency, I think. I am also old enough to remember other things that helped to fuel some of the things that started the spiral. We didn't get here overnight. We won't get back there overnight, if we even can. To get there, both sides need to acknowledge wrongs done and then just put it behind us. Start from now. Unfortunately, there is too much power in separation for that to really happen.

I had hope for the future when I was younger; now I fear for my children, sometimes.

Even if we may not agree totally, we probably agree on much, maybe most, regarding this situation. I appreciate the civil conversation despite our disagreements.

Turning into the most ghetto tailgating experience in the SEC and not even close.


BR needs the national guard permanently

A lot of college campuses are surrounded by ghettos.

The LSU gameday experience is in trouble. Multiple reasons. What I witnessed yesterday and to be honest for last couple years is troubling to me.

Let me try this again....... I don't want to get banned today.

First LSU game 1973 Tulane LSU. First game in TS in 1977. Student mid 80s...

Wifey and I season ticket holders 1993 through 2019. The change started after 2007 Natty and kept getting worse every year.

We tailgated on parade ground 1998 - 2008. 2009 parade ground had changed and we basically just started hitting friends tailgates.

After 2011 it accelerated. 2018 Hoco wifey and i gave tickets away and walked around campus with one of our bird dawgs pretty much all day hitting houses that mattered to us and many tailgates of friends it was a great day - but it had noticeably changed. On our way out we ran into an old hs classmate of mine who her and hubby were both also LSU folks(he a federal agent). We talked that we had quit doing our own tailgate but really the environment was rolling downhill.... They were also shutting it down after 2 plus decades....


what wifey and experienced on our walk back to our vehicle was mind boggling... twerking vulgar rap music so much weed we reeked when we got to vehicle....

She looked at me and said I am glad we gave our tickets away, I am never coming again....

I went to 3 games in 2019 and each game was worse... So I said goodbye to a dear old friend........ Haven't been back, really miss what it was, don't miss what it has become... Like all things hood it will end up being a tragedy one day.

Oh, it's enforceable. But Baton Rouge is a Democrat ran city and they WILL NOT tolerate the type of policing that it would take to enforce this. Honestly, heads are probably going to roll for the pepper ball incident this weekend. I bet you money someone is getting their hand slapped for that show of force. Wouldn't surprise me one bit.

These cities vote themselves into these dilemmas.

It’s impossible to enforce


The logistics alone make it impossible

I did notice a young black man vaping in the stadium on Saturday (lower east side). I have not seen that before and I thought it was not allowed. He wasn't close enough for me to be bothered but the huge clouds of smoke/vape were very noticeable. If he were next to me I think I would have been bothered. Is that allowed now or was he breaking the rules?

This happened right behind me. It apparently was reported because a sheriff's deputy showed up at the portal and found the culprits. Helpful folks around the spot alerted him to where the drugs were stashed (in the drink cup).

The consequences become the deterrent.

The term "civil rights" is itself like "racism", abused until it means virtually the opposite of what it was intended to mean. Is it a "civil right" to turn public gatherings into brawls? Is it a "civil right" to knock down an elderly person

You’re just making stuff up. Who is suggesting this? Rights in instances like this begin where one ends anyway.

So, you're basically admitting and conceding the argument.

Just to be clear, you're saying that African Americans and crime are synonymous? That's wild dude........

You do realize that it is possible for good, non-criminal African American folks to be able to enjoy something too, right? They don't like that shite either.

This isn't a race issue. It's a crime issue. Who gives a shite what race the people committing the crimes are. Arrest them and let's see what that looks like on the other side of the aftermath. Just don't get your feelings hurt when you look at the stats. The problem is when people look at the stats. They can't stomach it. They move the goalpost and say that those stats show racism in policing. Then they scale back the policing and become soft handed to pad the numbers. Then you get what you get. Criminals of all colors running the asylum.

The truth isn't racist.
