Damn, I was looking for Mark's picture.
He was one hell of a relief pitcher for the Astros.
Last I heard MArk was in the pookey for molesting a little girl.
Do you like my Flair?
"Taylor and Larmondo “Flair” Allen died in the 2300 block of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard after being riddled with bullets.
But instead of murder, which carries automatic life in prison, the jury came back with the lesser charge of manslaughter for Taylor’s killing and failed to reach any verdict on the second murder charge, in which prosecutors blamed Toney for the death of his one-time drug-dealing partner, Allen."

RIP, regardless. Prayers for all those children.

Ahh!! The truth comes out.
I know I'm in a bad part of town when I see "Martin Luther King Blvd"....
Nevermind.
Yes. He warned in an appearance on The Tonight Show that anytime you found yourself on Martin Luther King street/drive/avenue/blvd., get off it immediately.
Posterchild for the Great Society.
More from that link:
'Allen, 25, who like Toney had wrangled out of previous murder and other violent charges, was fatally wounded during the gunfight. He was a father to three sons and six daughters.'
RIP indeed!!

Web Search Is Your Friend.
Took me about 90 seconds to find my article - the two posts behind mine wouldn't have taken any longer.
Names can be changed. Spare us your platitudes.
I took longer -- I'm on dialup!
Nawlins, just - FILL IT IN.
N.O. is a bowl below sea level that billions are being spent upon wastefully in futile attempt to preserve what is, in effect, a massive cofferdam next to the Mississippi river holding thousands of perverts, felons, and deviants, all crawling around looking for fun-seeking victims to exploit.
Since the place is SINKING several inches each year, even filling in the 'bowl' with, say, blocks of recycled trash mixed in cement IS FUTILE!
Except for the port, ditch N.O. Abandon it. Let the delta flood to preserve the river delta WETLANDS. Save America BIG BUCKS.
