#2 "We have no earthly idea why this happened,"

I certainly do, but I shall keep my thoughts to myself.

#3 I won’t keep my thoughts to myself. Black Entitlement and poor impulse control.

#5 Fed by a media in the grand tradition of Julius Streicher of installing racial hate in one community upon another.

#6 100 block of Royal Street

That's just off Canal, and in kind of a sketchy semi-tourist area.

Lotta folks 'just hangin' out', so one should try to avoid it.

#7 Yeah, the punch sucked, but I understand they found the fall was what was causing all the damage during Knockout Game; the uncontrolled fall and the head striking a hard surface, such as pavement.

New Orleans is a sketchy semi-tourist area, more or less.

I'd talk about how it used to be an actual normal city but noone's going to believe me.

#9 Ah, New Orleans, to eat fried dough in the most corrupt city on earth. I love Nola, but it's a messed up place.

Gosh, Uncle Thing, was New Orleans really a normal city once?

#10 ^ Do you mean normal normal, or New Orleans normal?

#11 Once upon a time my momma and her little brother would go to the movies by themselves. I think she was ten at the time, and the movie was Frenchman's Creek.

I can't imagine that today.

#13 Royal News, and then on to the Acme--
"But only one dozen!"
Exactly. I backtracked to Mena's--
"Cheap gumbo. Not heinous."
Next, poboys at Johnny's--
"Said 'hi' to the honeys?"
Sure. Zigzagged to Buster's--
"O locus augustus!"
For sausage and beans--
"Too expensive!"
Plus greens. Skipped Napoleon House--
"Cuz it wasn't!"
Don't grouse. Cuz I'll get muffalettas for breakfast.
"Wow, reckless!"
Now, finally, at Fun's, 'twas chop suey-- oops! [runs]
"Bet that bucket of soup tasted nothing like poop. Hey, but wait! No beignets?"
Through a sugary haze, by the dawn's early light, I popped in for a bite at La Patisserie, kicking B. in the... knee. Then, bulging a-ventral, I blew up to Central to get two, to go, though my Progress was slow. Having broken my fast at the Commerce at last, I was almost at peace... for an hour at least! Oh, and nary a jackass attacked me.

#14 Mind you, that'd the real "lead paint chips and rice for 75 cents" Buster's, not the Jax travesty.
