It's funny how you keep finding out about stories the media isn't covering ... Are you using a Ouija board?

 

[blastoff]

And the federal payroll swells once again as the Parade Czar is sworn in in the White House rose garden...

 

[Ernie S.]

Maybe if we limit the size of parades to 10 people and have a 7 day waiting period for parade permits...

Maybe if we just give everyone guns.

Ouch.

I'm still holding out hope that the shooters were white, NRA member teabaggers! Clearly background checks would have prevented this because there's no way those guns were illegally purchased!

Never let a tragedy......

If all those mothers were armed, this wouldn't have happened, right, conservatives?

And I rest my case.

Gun control will help bring down all crime, which is the goal. Conservatives like you are race-obsessed about black crime, and its the number one reason why so many bumpkin white conservatives demand lax gun laws: Fear of not having something to shoot black people with. That's why the murder of unarned Travon Martin was such a big deal among conservatives. Conservatives want to be allowed to shoot "suspicious" blacks whenever for whatever, and get away with it.

Libs like you ignore that most gun violence I. The USA is black on black in areas with strict gun control

There is no "strict gun control" in New Orleans. Is that a joke? Louisiana is one of the most gun friendly states in the union. Talk about ignoring reality!

I'm referring to places like Baltimore, Newark, Oakland, Chicago, washington, DC.

Despite guns being illegal, Washington DC used to be the murder capital of the USA in the 1990s. Now guns are legal, the murder rate has dropped a lot by over 50%

Yeah, well I dunno if you noticed, but this thread isn't about a shooting in Baltimore or Newark or Oakland or Chicago or DC.

What does that have to do with the OP?

 

[OohPooPahDoo]

Are the witnesses cooperating with the police A major issue in why so few arrestes/convictions occur in black on black crimes is the refusal to "snitch". hope that's not happening here. I think with the attention being given to this story (shocking to me) is that it would look really, really bad if people weren't cooperating with the police.

You want it to look bad.

NEW ORLEANS – New Orleans police and federal authorities were searching early Tuesday for a young man who is suspected of opening fire at a Mother's Day parade in New Orleans, wounding 19.

Police Superintendent Ronal Serpas identified the suspect late Monday as Akein Scott, 19, of New Orleans. Referring to blurry surveillance camera images of the mass shooting, Serpas said police have "multiple identifications of Akein Scott as the shooter" seen in the film.

Serpas said officers would be searching all night and into Tuesday for Scott, whom he called "no stranger to the criminal justice system." He urged the teen, who has previous arrests on firearms and drug charges, to give himself up.

"We would like to remind the community and Akein Scott that the time has come for him to turn himself in," Serpas said at a news conference outside police headquarters.
