Yeah. Same pig who thought it was a good idea to have his thugs steal guns
from law abiding citizens during Katrina. Too bad there wasn't an "accident"
while that picture was being taken.

Check out the newspapers retraction of the picture-

A photo in some Metro sections Wednesday showed a laughing Mayor Ray Nagin
pointing an M-4 rifle at Police Superintendent Warren Riley at a news
conference to announce new crime-fighting equipment purchased by the New
Orleans Police Department.

A review of a video taken at the event shows that the camera captured a
split second as the gun was being lowered that made it appear to be
deliberately pointed at the chief. However, the mayor clearly did not
deliberately point the gun at Riley.

The photo prompted two letters and a razz on the editorial page criticizing
the mayor, which appeared in some Thursday editions.

After a review of the video Wednesday night, the editorial and the letters
were removed from Thursday's later editions. Had editors seen the video
earlier, the letters and the razz would not have been published.

The newspaper regrets the error and apologizes to the mayor.

Stupid is stupid. Guns shouldn't be pointed at people, and Nagy should know
that.

Sounds to me like the newspaper is 'sucking up'. Don't know why that would
be....

Because they jumped to an erroneous conclusion based on a still photo
taken at a specific awkward instant of a continuous, fluid motion?
