The Times-Picayune is hungover

That is all I can figure from the article at the bottom of this link. The Times-Picayune must have watched some parades last night and had a little too much to drink, because this article seems to imply that the ninth ward is in mid-city and that a shooting happened in a nightclub and earlier another shooting happened in a parked car in the same nightclub. What?! The fact that the article ends with Ray Nagin spewing some bullshit about doing something about the problem doesn’t help. He always wants to talk about how we should discuss a plan to have a meeting in order to talk about what needs to be discussed. Ugh.

    The car shooting was in the upper 9th ward. The nightclub shooting was in Mid-City — Galvez and Banks.

    Or so I hear on the radio.

    That makes a hell of a lot more sense than what the article states.

    you really couldn’t understand that article? I think you just don’t like the Times and had nothign to write about. It was perfectly clear what happened by the article. complain about the things the paper gets wrong no tthe stuff it actually reports correctly.

    It appears they have since corrected the article. I wish I had cut and pasted the article in because it was completely insane the way they had stated it before. It actually said they were in a car that was parked in the same nightclub.
