Riders should be banned from drinking on floats...

Lets face it, the majority of riders can’t handle their alcohol and act obnoxious and unruly while enticing the crowd to get as close as they can to the float by dangling cheap trinkets to the crowd just to get a little attention.

These riders get no affection or attention at home so they sign up and pay a lot of money to ride in these parades where they wear costumes and cover their face with the hope of seeing a tit or some girl or guy wink at them just so they can get off.

You see it at every parade, slob with his face covered throwing fake money or holding an oversized stuffed animal with his bodily fluids probably all over it, dangling it over the float begging for the crowd to run over to him just so he can feel important for a few hours. Just read the comments following the accident tonight. Nothing but disregard for human life and not an ounce of sympathy for the victim. Get a grip folks. Nobody gives a shite about your 2 cent trinket when somebody just died.

This disgusting behavior needs to be stopped for the public’s safety and the only way for that to happen is to ban riders from drinking alcohol while on their floats. Hopefully Latoya will take action.
