12 hurt when vehicle plows into Endymion parade crowd in New Orleans (http://www.nola.com/traffic/index.ssf/2017/02/12_hurt_when_vehicle_plows_int.html)
Considering this is Mardi Gras weekend, this is like a case of drunk driving.


Twelve people were injured Saturday night (Feb. 25) when a vehicle plowed into a crowd at the Krewe of Endymion (http://topics.nola.com/tag/krewe%20of%20endymion/) parade in the Mid-City (http://topics.nola.com/tag/id-city/) section of New Orleans (http://topics.nola.com/tag/new%20orleans/), police said. The crash was reported at about 6:45 p.m. at Carrollton and Orleans avenues.

"Initial reports show so far about a dozen people are in critical condition," police spokeswoman Ambria Washington said. "That number could increase as the investigation is ongoing."

You know, these things didn't happen until Trump was elected.

There's a reason the wife and I are staying out in the Louisiana countryside this week and NOT setting foot in New Orleans. Crazy place to be around Mardi Gras. Good to do every so often but not for us this week.

It's all your fault. You go down to LA and shit goes wild.

I grew up in the area. Mardi Gras gets wild every year.

Some of the left wing loons here have already started to blame Trump for things like this.
