We moved to NO when I was 11, and you don't want to know the list of tricks we tried before we turned 21.

That said, the few run ins we had with the law were, in fact, beneficial. Of special note is when we ran the red light while drunk and got t-boned by one of NO's finest in a yellow Cadillac. And then there was the car chase with the off duty officer in the Porsche (he was in the Porsche, I was in a 1980 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme ... I caught him, boxed him in, and my compadres in the other vehicle made good their escape. My brother got caught later when he drove the Cutlass by the same fellow's house later that night. A high-speed chase ensued from Metairie to West End Park, at which time my brother talked his way out of it with only a warning.) The t-boning by the Cadillac was the end of the Cutlass Supreme, a beautiful and fine car, but I was once passed while doing 100 mph down I-10.

I'm not saying that the players in this recent NO incident should not receive the legal consequences they have coming. I'm saying that we shouldn't be pounding our chests and shaking our fingers because we've all done stupid and dangerous stuff.
