Lefty thugs beat up Jindal staffer and her boyfriend...

Post it on photobucket.

then post a link here...

I don't show as many teeth, when I smile, as she was .

The guy that took the photo won't/didn't even say it was the same incident...

So what does your "zooming in" prove? (unless you have a different photo. Do you?)

She appears to be grimacing, and the man sitting next to her has bruises on his knuckles.

I haven't read through this whole thread, so forgive me if this question has been answered, but were the attackers caught? If not, how does anyone know what their motives were?

as for motives... IMO, political hatred/mischief.

.....which means your original subject line is just a guess and not based on any actual facts.

Thanks for the clarification.

there's plenty of evidence. Hardly "just a guess."

I read through all the posts on this thread... TWICE... but could not find any reference to defending any assailants.

Asking you to clarify a position you tool is attacking you ?

In my opinion, you are way out of line in suggesting that I attacked you on any level during the course of this thread.

Brennan's is one of the fanciest restaurants in NOLA, and they were "nicely dressed"? As the kids say, "Well, DUH!".
If you're ever there, I recommend trout almandine or eggs St. Dennis.

I don't do "nicely dressed"

However, Brennan's does.

and unlike some I don't make up ridiculous crap.

J. Vega is right as anyone who has read all the reports can tell. But those who wish to distort and misinform have their own take.

I realize you have already read the report but for those that haven't.

Page 4 is the page for THEM to read

Using Search in the PDF I couldn't find the word "lefty" a word YOU used in your Subject line

What's your point? The original report said:
"Officers in the area responded and requested EMS assistance. The woman used her purse as a pillow while waiting for help. Once she was in the ambulance, the woman realized her purse was missing, the release said.".
Fox called her mother for a statement and reported what she said. As she wasn't there, it appears that she was in error about the details of the purse.

And her boyfriend had a broken nose, broken jaw and a black eye.

She had her leg broke in 5 places.

And there is no blood on his shirt, no marks on his face (hit by a lefty, marks would be on his right side) Do you want to talk with a broken jaw?

She's laying there (posing) smiling (don't forget, leg broken in 5 places)...still waiting for Ed to post his close ups of her NOT smiling.

I once broke my leg in 1 place...I didn't want to smile.

She wasn't there and neither was the photographer.

And when I last broke a hip, it didn't start to hurt until they got me to the hospital. At the house and during the ambulance drive, I talked with the EMTs with no problem. At the hospital, the blinding pain started.
Ever since it happened, that picture has been used in local NOLA reports, and they still haven't cast question on its validity. I find your analysis of it to be worthless.

i screamed so loud they shut down machines thinking maybe someone had been dragged in....

and FWIW, my analysis matches JPs, (and i would go so far as to say that it looks like a couple with a "couple too many" sitting in the road waiting for a taxi)

,.

It is clearly the couple in question in the picture and they were beaten up. She is not smiling or posing. If you accept that raft of horse manure I pity you. The ambulance people didn't think they were a couple that "had too many." Her leg was broken in 4 places.

The attempts to make it "never happened" are disgusting and insane.

CLEARLY?

The guy that took the picture wouldn't say it was them or even that it was the same incident.

Where are YOUR "ZOOMED IN" photos that YOU worked on?

I notice you've dropped the "lefty" reference in your posts now.

Did you notice the words "hit by a lefty, marks would be on his right side" in one of the attempts to discredit the photo?

playing off Angie's lame "left hand" reference. But the intention is clear. "Nothing going on here... just move on."

All the people involved have pretty much acknowledged that the photo is authentic.

Oh well. Time will tell if and when they catch the goons who did it. Too bad the videos have been taken down. It would be interesting to see if the perps appear in them. I trust the cops will find a way to get them.

There might be footage from security cameras. At least from police cameras, the Quarter police station is less than 500 feet away from Brennan's, both on Royal. There may have been other security cameras running, we'll have to wait and see if anything picked up the attack.

the feigned indignation, when the subject changed from "lefty" to "what about the victims"?

Can YOU see a difference in these 2 headlines?

Lefty thugs beat up Jindal staffer and boyfriend (Eds version)

Jindal staffer and boyfriend beaten up. (unsensationalized version)

No response expected, as you ask, but don't answer

NOT, don't ask, don't tell...Just ask and don't answer.

have the people in the picture been positively identified?

were they (the people named) "attacked" as a political statement
or were they "mugged"?

bear in mind that the words ****** and ***** were used before/during
the incident

.,

are all over the web, including on Jindal's Facebook page. No one is questioning that it's them except you-know-who here at SE. There are some snarky leftist sites peddling the line that she's smiling, posing etc, which is where he got it I am sure.

They weren't mugged in that their money, wallets etc. were not stolen. It was a brutal assault. I guess we'll have to wait and see if it was political or not.

MIGHT just be a coincidence that they were harassed by leftist "anarchists" inside and outside the restaurant prior to the assault. Witness statements vary.
