At least 12 shot in New Orleans Mother's Day Parade


(Reuters) - At least 12 people were shot at a Mother's Day parade in New Orleans, with one victim as young as 10 years old, WWLTV reported, citing police Superintendent Ronal Serpas.

Emergency medical responders took nine people to University Hospital, eight of these had gunshot wounds, and another person was injured in a fall while escaping the shooting, WWLTV reported on its website.

Three of the gunshot victims were in critical condition, and police believe three suspects were involved, the report said.

I blame Bush

 

[Dream59]

You may as well blame Bush. The politicians in New Orleans have blamed him for everything since Katrina. I would not be surprised if they hold him respnsibile for the storm itself.

 

[Busybody]

I blame Bush for you blaming Bush

That's the absolute truth!

Guys can we as a country get together and decide to have ONE EVENT where we don't shoot people? This is why the other countries think that we're mean and won't play with us.

The world view of the United States is getting seriously skewed.
Report after report of random, extreme violence.
And most of it for stupid or no reasons.

Here, we almost never hear good stories out of the USA.

Well, I, as an American, have never done anything positive and newsworthy. So... I don't know about everybody else, but if we're all doing that, there's probably not anything good to report.

But we do actually kill each other less than we used to. I mean, we still do it, but we do it less. And we're proud of that. That's what we consider progress.

I mean, you're still more likely to die of a Big Mac overdose via heart disease then one of those violent attacks.

...I am not good at defending us, someone who doesn't suck take over.

To be fair, only a small percentage of us do that. The vast majority of us sit on our asses and do next to nothing. The doctors call it a 'sedentary lifestyle' and our ancestors call it "laziness".

Good stories are rarely news.

I don't think America is more fucked up than other places. But America is important, and therefore we're tuned to the news there. That's why we hear about every crazy thing there. Not because they don't also happen elsewhere, but because elsewhere most of it pass under our radar while we're distracted by the Yanks.

Homicide rates have dropped steadily in U.S., what we have are these isloated events and everyone gets nuts with this....I'd rather live here in the US then say, Egypt or Syria or the Congo.....come on

Let's hope the perp isn't motivated by any political reason, then it will drop out of the news more quickly, or if motivated by some cause the media is in favor of it will drop out of the news even more quicky.

Happy Mother's day!

It's gang related, it will drop quickly. N.O. gangs are just getting jealous that chicago gangs are ahead in body count.
