NEW ORLEANS – A Mardi Gras parade erupted into chaos on Fat Tuesday when a series of gunshots struck six people, including an infant. The infant was not seriously injured and two suspects were in custody, police said. The shootings happened near the Garden District about 1:40 p.m. after the last major parade of the celebration, Rex, had ended. Hundreds of truck floats that follow the parade were passing when gunfire broke out.

The fact that there was a shooting at the only national holiday where the streets are full of beer, and boobies are jiggling freely, is an absolute tragedy. Obviously, I love Mardi Gras and though it's troubling that there are those that would commit crime during this most holy event, it is not the most troubling part of this story.
An infant was struck by gunshots, but was not seriously injured. Huh? Are they making babies that are somehow resistant to gunfire? Darwin would enjoy knowing that people have evolved to cope with changes in their environment. Bullet Proof Babies. Wow. I wonder if they've become bullet proof because of all the degenerates shooting in their habitat or because the Obama Administration's Government Controlled Health Care doesn't cover gunshot wounds.
