He refused to answer earlier questions about Biden.

He voted for that shite bag to be the leader of the free world.

He refused to answer because he knew it would expose his hypocrisy.

Did they say if physical threats? Or was the threats of great concern more along the lines of “we are not riding or paying our dues for Endymion”?

Like anytime these 'threats' come, they are looking at irrelevant people online and saying there were threats.

Reality, those with Endymion didn't want to deal with the headache of defending their decision and just said frick it. Then cover it by saying they were threatened.

I haven't been keeping up. Why should we be hating Mel?

It's hard to keep up with faux outrage.

Shouldn't be hate on Mel, maybe some pity. Unfortunately the dude is a meathead that tends to say shite that goes against society and evidence.

Citing safety concerns.

If they cared about safety they would not have a parade in New Orleans.

That's the last thing I remember too. Are people really still mad at him? Originally it was dumb, this many years later would be pitiful at best.

Eta- what did he say while drunk that everyone is referring to? I need to know if my outrage is gaged properly.

If I was Gibson I'd be appy with this. New Orleans is like a turd on the street, you should go around it.

Get the Gringo was pretty good.

The drunk thing was meh, he apologized. The movie, factually meh, but it was fiction anyway. The other sober interviews.....kindof Kanye'd the moment.

Don't agree with all the outrage, but damn who on Endymion thought this was a solid move. What makes him a good choice over rolling Fritz by himself.

The dues have been paid, and guys will ride. Members don’t give a shite who the grand Marshall is. It’s always someone shitty and stale anyway.
Also, Endymion doesn’t give a shite what the members think.
Thus the garbage entertainment for the majority of the last 20 years. It’s been hit or miss, I’ll admit a couple decent years.
The year it was shut down for running over a man, half the members missed 3/4 of the route. Instead of giving a discount to those members the following year, they raised the dues to cover their own loses, they claimed.

If you speak against the organization their response is always we have a waiting list if you quit.

They cut out guest tickets to the coronation ball. They shut down a message board on the members site. Because “the members would talk to much” and would sell their extra tickets (which they paid for) to other members, on there. They told members to give back any extra extravaganza tickets to the krewe so members wouldn’t sell them. They cut out “beans and jeans” party the night before the parade. Claiming it cost too much.

This year they enforced buying $800 worth of Endymion products on top the dues. People were purchasing a majority of their throws at cheaper places and not Beads By The Dozen, owned by Dan Kelly, the same place who gets the Endymion products made.

It’s a total dictatorship.
