I always enjoyed the Nola.com comments section’s Vinnie’s Hairpiece. Either he from jail or someone who was a big fan posted of his innocence in those comments until the very last day of the trial, even as the evidence was mounted high. The last pro Vinnie comment came the morning of the verdict, which makes me believe it was really Vinnie the Piece posting.

Those were the days when Nola.com and its comment sections were shaping the culture and future of New Orleans. It was all downhill when Fred Heebe’s Krewe somehow got access and blew the cover off the supposed anonymity of those comments. Ended up costing Jim Letten his job, and let Heebe skate scot free. Money and a special army of IT sluthes in a clandestine van are a powerful force. Terrifying actually what that entire episode revealed about the city and Jefferson. We were really on the verge of something special.

I hope he found truth and confessed his sin.

The Piece seemed to be a narcissist stuck in a 1950s version of a Jefferson Parish run by the mob. The mob may still control the Parish, but it doesn’t need violence anymore to make its money.

Chick tried to take his house in the divorce and he wasn’t having none of that. Shot her twice in the face.

Barely. Did some "events" IIRC.

Vince Mawinewo with the pwep pwayer of the week was my favorite segment he did...

That whole situation was one of those bizarre things that happened after Katrina..

I can't remember who said it, but it was a WWL host right after the guilty verdict came in. I remember him talking some mad shine on Vince (guess it was finally 'ok' to do so) and that he was going to die in Angola. Sounded pretty bitter. I guess Vince proved him wrong.

I wouldn't exactly call what he did a caper.

He should have left the gun & taken the canoli

god he was a slime ball.. 1982... I had a vicious late hit out of bounds.... .WAY WAY out of bounds... after the game he is in the end zone smoking and checking out the dance team girls and looks at me and goes..."hey 16 nice hit on 11" asst coach said... nothing nice about it, if anything it could have been a felony instead of penalty. Had some other interaction with him over the years... a slime ball to max.
