Bayou Classic coming up NO AFFILIATION with Bayou 95.7

Talking about the Bayou Classic coming up, on Walton& Johnson ShowI can speak now. I am a retired NOPD (30 years service) with the truth about Bayou Classic. I was assigned in the area for eleven of my 30 years. As the years went on I would opt to take Annual leave / Furlough when Bayou Classic came around. The Bayou Classic Go-ers behaved like animals, with complaints from the hotels of Bayou Classic Guest barbecuing in the bath tubs an...d urination in the lobby and hall ways. And in the mid 90's the Bayou Classic Guest looted several t-shirt and sport clothing stores on Canal Street (case/item report numbers on file). Dalton Books was next door and was totally untouched. The incident NEVER hit the news. They (Bayou Classic Guest) spend NO money and drive up and down Canal St. turning Canal Street in to a parking lot, where shootings break out and emergency response is all but impossible. Put the TRUE word out.
