A suspect is in custody after 28 people were injured on Saturday night when a vehicle plowed into a crowd watching a parade in the Mid-City section of New Orleans, police said.

Police Chief Michael Harrison said in a press conference after the incident that the suspect, who was traveling in the opposite direction of the parade and struck two vehicles, veered off to the other side from the parade, hitting a number of pedestrians before coming to a stop.

The suspect was described by Harrison as "highly intoxicated"; he is being investigated and is at the DWI office.

Must be a muzzie or an illegal, otherwise we would already know who did this.

And the media wonders why the American people don’t find them credible. How do you write this story and not clearly identify the person driving the truck?

Or it could just be a meth-head, coke-head, crack-head, alcoholic idiot. It was clearly some clown that has little value for his life or the life of others.

I see no sense in paying to keep this person alive any longer. Put him out of our misery.

I am not sure I would be quick to say this is a muzzie terrorist or an illegal. A lot of people are plastered out of their minds on alcohol and drugs at Mardi Gras.

That said, you may very well be right. It may be a muzzie terrorist or an illegal.

"I wonder how many Hurricane’s he drank."

Summer of 1969 in New Orleans La, I saw something I had never seen before and have never seen since - Cops helping a drunk *into* his car.

I don't blame any one who doubts this.
I couldn't believe it even as I watched it.

Yup. Times were different in NOLA back then. Out on Canal Street past the cemetery going towards Lake Pontchartrain there was a place named L’Enfants that was basically a drive in bar/parking lot. Multiple cars parked and servers took your order and delivered your drinks to you. People would leave there and go drag race on the not yet completed I-10 bypass out towards Metarie. Not that I ever did that. ;-)

Do you remember Nick's on Tulane?

Barnlike structure with the name emblazoned on the side:

"Nicholas Castrogiovanni, Fancy Mixed Drinks"

They stopped serving beer after 4PM - cocktails only.

Very explanatory photo. Another post explains the #3 badge at his waist as he was operating a booze stand (sampling more likely). Very drunk but no terrorist.

Can’t say I recall that one. But I do remember a bar on Canal street next to where my first wife worked that was run by the Marcellos. Ruh Roh. I even met Carlos’ brother there one time. A little dixie mafia business probably took place there.
