Hope this chick never ventures into Ernst Cafe


Used to be a target-rich environment...

You are right. My bad. It’s so obvious that she is using this episode to raise her professional profile, that I assumed that was how she came to be here in the first place. Social media has made it so easy for these bad actors to stir up a storm, that this year has been a tough one for our parades. And our pandering politicians aren’t helping the situation.

Yea in this thread I mentioned she’s done it with the actual Nazis in the quarter a year or two back, some random guys dating profile, a bar patron messing with a neighbors house, and was big into the top golf situation


From an arms length I think her care is real but her execution can become tunnel vision. Fine enough if chasing the FQ Nazis but have to be able to distinguish that from dumb kids being edgy

I actually never noticed that, in all the times I was there.

When I was in high school 20 years ago, there would be teachers from the Catholic high schools actively looking out for kids drinking on the Mardi Gras parade route.

I was on a message board for a local public school (magnet) post-Katrina. Some Karen tried to police this behavior during that first post-Katrina MG, posting about teen drinking she had observed along the St. Chas route. She was shut down by the parents with the quickness, told to MHOB, and to keep her nose out of it. I was impressed by how quickly the wagons were circled.

Impressive. It took you a day and a half and 200 words to defend a bad analogy. A boss firing an employee is a defined, accountable relationship. An irrational internet mob trying to ruin someone over a clip or opinion is not. “Times have changed” does not magically make mob behavior reasonable. It just gives you cover to excuse it, which seems to be your entire point here. Run along, grandpa. You are in over your head.

Mob rule is not reasonable but it has existed forever. People responding in a manner which one did not expect due to one's self expression is not mob rule my friend...anymore than breathing is. If you say something that offends one person or one million and the one or the million responds in the same manner they are acting as individuals. I say all adults who truly believe in God are insane, and I do, and any such insane person hears that reacts in a similar manner as 10 who hears it they aren't acting as mob, they are acting as individuals, insane individuals but individuals non-the less.

Every human being who ever lived and had the physical ability to speak was able to speak freely....nothing could stop them doing so. The aftermath for having done so varies but the act of doing so is as unstoppable as the breeze...

A day and a half later and this is what you came up with? Pretending a social media dogpile is just “individuals acting separately” is willful ignorance. When hundreds of people pile on at once to target someone , that is coordinated behavior whether you want to admit it or not. If it walks like a mob and acts like a mob, it is a mob.

You do not get to redefine reality just because it is inconvenient to your point And once again, the real reason you are bending over backwards to excuse it because it is your side doing it. Everyone sees that.

And calling millions of Christians “insane” is not an argument, it is just you airing out your atheist hobby like it is profound. Aren’t you a little old to try to be edgy?

So nothing yet with this carpetbagger Karen trying to get these kids expelled from school?

For all its faults, New Orleans is typically able to do a decent job of letting shite like this blow over.

I guess, you don't want that to be so?

Pretty glad to see nothing happening with the students…

I know it has to be eating her up on the inside… she’s moved on to talking about recycling

An 18 page thread about HS kids.... doing HS kid shite. I am seriously thankful I didn't have to grow up in today's world.

Parents being able to track their kids location 24/7. You do something dumb in public its videoed and used by someone trying to gain something.

I get parents want to know where their kids are, but there was a certain amount of independence you gained by.... not having to report go places you knew your parents wouldn't approve of you going to. IDK.. Its just a weird place we are in right now.
