Tulane Player Brings a Knife to a Fist Fight

Says the New Orleans Police Department ...

New Orleans police arrested Tulane University football player Ray Boudreaux on Friday morning in connection with a stabbing on Bourbon Street last weekend that left five people wounded, including a man who remains in critical condition at University Hospital. [snip]

The stabbing took place Sunday just before 6 a.m., after two groups of people were ejected for fighting from the Utopia nightclub, Narcisse said. Boudreaux was with one other man, while the other group was four men and a woman.
After the fight spilled out onto the street, Boudreaux pulled a knife and began stabbing the five people in the opposing group, police said. The stabbing was captured in a surveillance camera videotape that police released on Wednesday.

It gets better (cough). Boudreaux is an honor roll student and police are struggling to find a reason behind the stabbings.

Police have found no motive for the violent altercation.

"We talked to both sides; both gave us different stories about what precipitated the fight," Narcisse said, adding that the people involved have been pointing fingers at each other.

That's definitely what gets me in a mood to stab people. Gosh, those pesky finger-pointers really deserve it, don't they?

Do you seriously not understand the context of "finger-pointing" here?

Both people involved have been blaming the other person for starting the fight. It looks like Fanhouse commenters' reading comprehension skills are rubbing off on the bloggers.

My error. I was in a hurry to get this up and misread that. Honest mistake in an attempt to put a silly spin on it.

Great Brian - Knife fights are a good thing to 'put a silly spin' on. Journalist? no - blogger? maybe - human????????

Yes, a silly spin on how utterly senseless the attack was.

Without saying as much, in this entry I was saying that given what's been written:

The attack was utterly senseless and appalling (thus why I mocked the finger-pointing) and pointed out how unfair of a fight it was. The title was playing on the phrase "bringing a gun to a knife fight" because this guy allegedly brought out a knife against a bunch of unarmed people.

The entire event was ridiculous, but sometimes that can be said without wagging a finger at the entire thing. FanHouse is supposed to be light so I wrote this with that in mind while still making the point about how absurd the attack was.
