Nice excerpt. I assume the flaot killed him with it’s electrical rotating knives skewering his heart and decapitating him before cutting off his right hand.

Or was it something else?

We’ll have to wait for the autopsy. It might have been a spontaneous center fuel tank explosion.

You can assume there was lots of alcohol involved by all parties.

Whoa, super sarc right there. A couple sacred cows just got butchered.

The float killed him just like SUVs are always killing people. Humans have no agency, but vehicles do.

Anyway, I am sorry these people died.

2nd death this year in the parades. A woman was killed Wednesday.

That’s not something people we need to worry about do. However there are those who ...

Panic, moralize and legislate against, for tomorrow they’ll still be progressive snowflakes.

Ban parade assault floats.

It sounds like they need some sensible float control.../s

Unless things have changed a lot (I doubt that they have.), it’s a pure wonder that MORE people don’t get killed as a LOT of DRUNKS & folks who are “doped up” try to climb up on the floats & have to be dragged off by the krewe members, security guards and/or the NOPD officers.

When I was in grad school at Tulane, I worked security for several krews & we security folks sometimes got ASSAULTED by the people, who were trying to climb ONTO the floats.

I’m betting it was the float with Hillary...
