But I Could Have Been Stabbed By A Trombone

Occasionally there are shooting deaths at these second line parades and its nice to know there are 20 cops left in New Orleans but still...the incident raises interesting questions about the balance between maintaining order and the need to nurture a culture which partly defines the city.

Still others say the incident is a sign of a greater attack on the cultural history of the old city neighborhood by well-heeled newcomers attracted to Treme by the very history they seem to threaten.
