That sucks they had to dump stuff. At least they could have taken it home


Asked a friend about that, she said they park so far away from where the floats stop that no one could physically carry the bags back to their cars. Shitty situation. And apparently Nyx has all year specific throws now. Because of the themes.

Also, I would take into consideration that a lot of these women probably don’t want to get back on a float and ride right now.

Yea, for as much shite as Nyx gets, all the riders are good people just trying to have fun. Sure the captain is a crook, but everyone I’ve met in Nyx is great. Feel bad for the riders

yeah, only really would work if they could drive the floats back to the den and over the next couple of days do an "unload" operation kinda similar to how they load them.

I'm sure. And if any of these women make any comments complaining about not getting to ride / throw their stuff, the media and everyone else will destroy them.

That’s only on the parade route. The city can’t do anything inside the balls. Fire away!

Me too. I feel terrible for the people that had to witness this shite as well as for the riders that just lost $$.

People that were around that area said she was acting stupid the whole time running up and hitting floats and doing stupid shite the whole time.

I don't think people give Nyx, the membership, a lot of grief.

Just the captain.

Edit your post please. Please show respect to the victim
Isn’t this board HUGE advocates for “Darwinism” and the like? Unless it comes out she was “thrown” under the float, I say let nature take its course.

It’s like someone who gets hit by a fricking train... what the frick were you doing ON THE TRACKS, or in this case, in the fricking street?

eta: “realist”, not “heartless”

Then find out the details from them for us about what happened with the throws and confirm whether its true that they had to dump everything where the floats were stopped
