Second line?

Is this some sort of impromptu street parade?

If you are a bar, eatery,etc and are involved and promoting stupid shite like this, don't cry when liquor tax/license times comes and they deny you.


I get it, it sucks not being able to make money, losing everything, but fighting City Hall/State and needing their license to even stay in business is a stupid move.

I am really curious what they are charging these people with? The NOPD press release conveniently leaves out the charge. I am guessing the arrest is for a normal charge but they want people to think it’s for violating the stay at home.

They implicitly understand that to live on a society like we have you must be willing to accept limitations on your personal liberty. What kind of society would you prefer to live in?

Probably something that has to do with not having a permit or something like that

It was a second line after a funeral in the middle of Gert Town there are like 3 or 4 Baptist churches in a 2 block radius.



Can't be that hard to stay 6 feet apart during a second line.

Yes for the Individual Darwin Award. However I was thinking about the Group Award Category where 2 children per couple is required for population replacement.



Darwin Award Winners at the Country Category are in Blue.

Another observation of this pandemic. People are really bad at estimating distance.

I was thinking permit, blocking the street, or obstruction after some mental gymnastics.

And that’s the problem we are dealing with, and New Orleans is a great case study. The very genes we don’t want being passed along are being rapidly spread because the government reward system incents them to spit out more kids.

It could probably be for disturbing the peace, unlawful assembly or something like that since you need a permit to do a 2nd-line through the streets.

This was hard, but I’ll help you out of state folks.

quote:

The Second Line has its origins in traditional West African circle or ring dances. The Second Line tradition was brought to New Orleans by enslaved Africans,[1] where it became a ritual for Africans in America, especially in various processions, including funerals. Some scholars believe that the West African ring featured children drumming with adults dancing that in turn, forced the ring to straighten into a line.[3] Others note the similarity of the steps – exaggerated, stylistic strutting – to dances performed in Congo Square by the enslaved given the day off on Sundays. These dances were officially banned for a time because they were deemed threatening to the white inhabitants of the city, and their resurgence in the Second Line culture suggests a similar celebration of individual freedom.[1][4]

My hunch is that the mayor’s orders can only be narrowly enforced.
