It’s Royal Street. But yeah, I would think so. They’re right across Royal from the state supreme court building, too.

why hasn’t the MSM picked this up?

[cajungirl]

NO is full of thugs,,I suspect it wasn’t “organized”. THey will attack you for having on nice shoes.

[NoRedTape]

Absolutely. It’s tragic that this crime occured. It is also an “atrocity”, a barbarity, barbarousness and shocking heinousness. I just sure as hell hope they catch the perps and prosecute them to the fullest extent of the Law +.

Thugocracy bump! ;-(

[CholeraJoe]

Is it your assertion that if we merely banned guns in church, none of this would have happened? Get back to me on how that works out.

“NO is full of thugs,,I suspect it wasn’t “organized”. THey will attack you for having on nice shoes.”

LOL. Reminds me, I was in NO with a group attending a conference, and was wearing a pair of cowboy boots. Various groups of 3 or 4 people kept coming up to me making comments like hey nice boots, and saying betcha I can know where you got them boots.

I always just smiled and said, Thanks anyway, but I do not wish to play. Everyone in the group was wondering what was going on.

A cop finally told us it was a trick question and scam where they would say you bought them, and then claim they won the bet.

Nothing on FNC or Rush.

Not surprising in Rush's case. He often waits until things solidify a bit before commenting. I think he doesn't want to step into a story like this that hasn't been corroborated. Not being critical, but I have noticed this tendency with his show.

[BradyLS]

I have yet to see any descriptions of the perps. My only fear is this may turn out to be like the chick who claimed Obama people cut her face, then admitted she faked the attack.

I hear you, but two people are going through an awful lot of trouble for a broken leg and a broken jaw if so.

This is what is written on Michellemalkin.com

Update 3:15pm Eastern: I just heard from Mr. Plotkin that Bautsch and her boyfriend were NOT wearing Palin pins.

Always have to be sure before jumping the gun. Just have to wait and see what happens

[onyx]

Exactly. The NOPD or Governor Jindal will have to first speak before any news outlets will repeat the story that the attacks were caused by the victims wearing Sarah Palin pins.

[Carley]

Do you think it was a crime of opportunity then?

The city has always been violent but I wonder where the police were now that the city is so much smaller and easier to protect.

Good to verify. . .Michelle Malkin has reported now; having waited herself to authenticate; that they were not wearing 'Sarah Palin' pins.

This incident is as disgraceful as it is alarming. Allee is a petite and personable young woman. There is no way that either she or her boyfriend might have provoked an attack or even engaged in an exchange of words with a rowdy group of surly people.

Allee is the blond in the center

[Mad Dawg]

“You got yo’ shoes on yo’ feet.”

[cricket]

That said, per Michelle’s authentication. Even here; I suspect; though she gives this info on authority - that we do not necessarilty have to assume that this IS the definitive word. . .

[AngelesCrestHighway]

No one is touching this cause it’s a match in a dynamite factory....

[Osage Orange]

I can explain it to you....over and over again. But apparently I can't make you understand it.

No big deal.....

Not likely. . .not at all. . .

[avacado]

kristinn, Is anyone sending this to the major news outlets?
