Second line is a tradition in brass band parades in New Orleans, Louisiana. The “main line” or “first line” is the main section of the parade, or the members of the actual club with the parading permit as well as the brass band. Those who follow the band just to enjoy the music are called the “second line.”

I don’t think it is the MSM. This is street violence that goes on everyday. The description was only put there by the police because the story got picked up half way round the world (seriously it was in the Japanese papers) as a “terrorism” event. Someone in the crowd knows who did it and they don’t need a description of “dark skinned” male to figure it out.

Quaint cultural gems....yeah. With different, more civilized, people they could be. As it is now they are more like Thugs on Parade.

Was it a gang fight that happened in a crowd?

Sounds like they were trying to reenact the scene from Live and Let Die

Tragic that such a happy event had to turn out so bad.
