Yes. Barricades everywhere. More work for NOPD or city employees. They have tons of extra time and handle their current workload very well. (sarcasm)

could give two fricks about Mardi Gras, fighting massive crowds Full of drunk, ignorant people to catch a 99 cent plastic cup. Can't believe parents actually bring young children to these shitty events


I could say the same thing about a football game. Except they don’t give you a 99 cent cup... and I bet you spend hundreds of dollars to attend football game.

I’ve watched Endymion on sidewalk side of Orleans near the start before. Where it’s barricaded. Never again. Felt very unsafe with how compressed the crowds were.


I mean don’t you think that’s an issue? My point is how the frick are tandem floats at fault here?

It’s a 6 foot gap

Almost saw someone today get hit over a fricking plastic cup


And yet it’s like 2 people in nearly 40 years

Yes, and that is with tens of millions of people attending in the time frame.

It's a loop hole in parade ordinance, I believe. City limits number of floats that can be in a parade and a tandem only counts as 1 float.

Allows for increases in krewe membership without technically increasing amount of floats in a parade.


Well now we are on to something.

Got a picture from someone on the float. Doesn’t look like a kid.

It’s a damn shame the entire rest of the parade has to suffer because of someone’s stupidity.

To be fair confirmed and reported really doesn’t mean much anymore.
