Here are the No Fun Police rules for items which can and cannot be thrown at a Mardi Gras parade in Terrebonne Parish.
My favorite regulation is the Popeyes rule, which came about when Popeyes got crew members to throw doubloons that were good for free stuff at Popeyes. It may not have been Popeyes that started it, but I can remember the advertisements for them. Although, I don’t remember if I ever caught one.
quote:
Sec. 19-52. - Throws. ???????(a)?Generally. All organizations are prohibited from throwing any object from the floats other than beads, doubloons, candy, or other traditionally recognized trinkets, provided however that an organization may throw other food items, if approved by the chief of police and/or the sheriff. The quantity and types of throws shall be approved by the Mardi Gras parade safety committee prior to being loaded onto the floats. ?(1)?Riders or maskers are prohibited from tossing throws or favors to the rear and/or front of their floats or trucks and in the parade formation and disbanding areas. ?(2)?No parade participant shall toss throws which contain sharp points including, but not limited to spears, or plastic, paper or silk flowers with pointed wire stems. ?(3)?No parade participant shall throw, thrust, or otherwise cause to be propelled any object, including throws, or any liquid or other substance or instrumentality, which, by the manner and/or velocity in which it is thrown, could foreseeably produce bodily injury or extreme physical pain. ?(4)?No parade participant other than the members of the organization and its special guest celebrities shall toss or hand out throws during the parade without first obtaining the written permission and approval of throws from that organization. ?(5)?No person marching or riding in a military band or riding in a news media vehicle shall toss, hand out or otherwise distribute doubloons, trinkets or other throws. In addition to any other penalties specified in this article, violation(s) of this subsection shall subject the military band and/or news media vehicle to immediate removal from the parade. ?(6)?No parade participant shall discard any debris, trash or packaging along the parade route. ?(b)?Certain types of throws prohibited. ?(1)?No parade participant shall pour, toss, hand out or otherwise distribute any alcoholic, noxious or offensive substance. ?(2)?No parade participant shall toss, hand out, or in any manner distribute doubloons, trinkets or other throws which would be redeemable for, or entitle the bearer to discounts of the price for food or merchandise or admission to any event, or items redeemable for monetary value, or which displays any commercial or political message. ?(3)?Throws or confetti cannons containing Mylar® are prohibited.?(c)?In addition to any penalties specified in this article, a violation of this section shall subject all throws of the offender to immediate seizure for the duration of the parade. ?(Ord. No. 7120, § II, 5-10-06)??

Well the club president does work in the DA office
He was working detail for me tonight. Police investigated and found he only told the girl she was gorgeous.
According to him? I guess the child made up everything? BTW, he is going to get off the float, follow her to the food cart and approach her and tell her that? 12 is the new 18? Another poster on the fb post stated that she asked that guy for a rose and the first thing he tells her is how old is she. She says 21 and then he tells her no. She starts to walk away and he calls her back and then gives her the rose. Betcha 1000 to 1 that perve wouldn't take a lie detector test.

Cities only get Kid Sniffing Accreditation when Joe Biden comes to town. That is when it becomes official.

The fact that the Krewe of Hercules cut bait on Monday, tells me there’s more to it. These types of investigations take time to interview witnesses and confirm the veracity of their claims...I guess my thing is...Why would a kid make something up like that? Why would Dad, who by all accounts is a solid guy, try to arbitrarily start something? Moreover, why would a group of individuals, automatically try and raise doubt about truth, on the side of a man, who u know was drunk AF at the time...That makes no sense to me...
Yup. Wish i had that guy's name just to see if he has any priors or complaints for this type of behavior. Leopard never changes his spots.

Stenen Naquin? Wonder if his name is steven naquin and they mispelled on purpose. Would not be the first time i see newspapers do this because of who they are or who their relatives are.

Update:
Thursday night, the Krewe of Hercules and NAACP held a public meeting about the issues with the parade concerning the throws and the incident. HTV posted it on Facebook.

Conjecture does not go too far

Not sure if serious...

Just confirmed from a cop friend, the guy was a cop in Houma, he was fired and arrested. He's in jail elsewhere though cause he can't be jailed here. He said he's gonna be in jail for a while.
