OUR WORST FEAR: Shooting During Bacchus Parade Leaves One Dead

Police believe the man in custody is the shooter, or one among more than one

A horrible evil walks among us. An evil that disregards human life with such callousness that it will spray bullets into a crowd of families enjoying a parade.

This is not the first-ever shooting at a parade, sadly. But the viciousness of this act of murderous cruelty shocks the conscious.

After arrest, offer him the speedy trial he deserves, and if found guilty, waste no time and dispatch this evil. Rid us all of this terror. Use the death penalty on this misery, on the filth that will do this.

A sad and shocking way to begin Lundi Gras morning.
