re: Riders kicked off Snoopy-themed Krewe of Thoth float after throwing beads at feds, police

You'll see, JP Morrell is a modern day Dorothy Mae Taylor who is trying to stir up the natives against white Krewes and replace them with more black Krewes.

So tell it. Don't embellish it. We're legit intrigued with your insider Intel Annnd he logs out.

Are you trying to come across as a moron?he wanted more details, and now you think he is withholding information?

It’s no secret, Halena and JP Morell will amend the rules so only underhand tossing of beads is permitted

And all of the riders were pulled off because no one would give up the guilty party, but how do you give up someone when no one did anything wrong? Also wrong float.

When you are up there with the mask on you can only see the person next you when looking right at him.

How did they target Feds? Aren’t they supposed to blend in with the crowd?

The my been throwing beads hard at people for as damn long as I can remember

This. Turn your back to a parade and you'll probably have 1 person every float or two launch a full/mostly full bag of beads at the back of your head.

Not sure why whole floats are now being removed when there has never been an issue in the past with identifying and removing problematic riders on an individual basis.

copycat reaction

Always seems once something happens at Mardi Gras you see it multiple times that year.

NOPD just said their initial reporting was incorrect.

quote:

---

The group of riders removed from a Snoopy-themed Krewe of Thoth float were throwing beads aggressively at a group of parade-goers with signs opposing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the New Orleans Police said in a corrected statement on Monday.

NOPD previously said the riders were targeting federal agents with parade throws, but that information was incorrect.

“Information received that items were thrown at federal agents themselves were found to be incorrect,” NOPD officials said.

So key to getting a lot of beads thrown your way. A F Ice sign.

I used to ride in the Irish-Italian parade and this dude held a sign saying YOU THROW LIKE A BITCH.

His mistake was holding the sign in front of his face. I threw an onion right at the sign and it smashed into his face. When he looked up at me I was flipping him off and he was bitching at me.

If you are at a parade you should expect to get hit with shite. The amount of people who go to parades and then get mad when they get hit is astonishing.
