[ARCHIVED THREAD] - My little "M.L.K PARADE" rant... The king would be sad...

Posted: 1/21/2013 2:00:00 PM EDT

I'm driving downtown to my bus job for the evening when I notice what looks like a garbage truck has dumped it load. The further down the road I notice there is no stopping the amount of trash lining the sides of the street. I then inspect a pile of trash and then I understand.. It was the route of the MLK parade...

People... Pick up after yourselves!!!! The king would not be happy!!!!

Flame suit on....

Pretty sure MLK would be upset over a whole lot more then some trash in the street if he were still alive.

The FSA has no respect for themselves, why the hell would they have respect for anything else?

If MLK were to come back and see the state of "black" America he would never stop throwing up.

We used to have a Black frat do something called " The End of the World" get together in a neighboring town once a year. Looked just like that the next day. And yes, Churches and KFC parking lots were the worst part of it.

I find it ironic that the only person in our 230 year history to have his very own National Holiday is MLK.

This is exactly what I'd expect from the king's subjects.

REPORT: Five teens shot on MLK Day on MLK Blvd after MLK parade...

Neighbors say quintuple shooting on MLK Blvd. is 'embarrassing'

NEW ORLEANS -- Five teenagers were shot in the Central City
neighborhood of New Orleans shortly after Monday's Martin Luther King
Day parade moved passed the area.

Police spent the afternoon collecting evidence and shell casings outside a grocery at Martin Luther King and LaSalle.

Investigators say shortly after 1 p.m., a late model, white, two-door
sedan drove past the store, and a gunman opened fire on a group
teenagers standing on the corner in front of the store.

"So far we know of five injuries," said NOPD Superintendent Ronal
Serpas. "We do not expect that any of those injuries are fatal at this
time."

The shooting is more than a little unsettling for neighbors who
witnessed the crime. Many of them were still outside enjoying the day
after watching the parade which passed by within a half hour of the
shooting.

"I just heard the gunshots, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom," said
Tanile Legendre. "I ran outside and a saw all the kids just scattering.
It must have been just 15 minutes after the parade."

"It's not the first time," said Ashley Stewart. "It's always
something like that going on. It makes us scared and keep your children
locked up inside. Can't even just hang out and talk to your friends, you
know, and sit down and have fun without something like that going on
around here."
