Louisiana Has Got To Pay.

The Honorable James Brady, a US District Court Judge, ruled that the state of Louisiana will have to pay 93,000 dollars to the Entertainment Software Association. This will cover the lawyers fees for the showdown over House Bill 1381. You know, the one that Jack Thompson helped write.

You would think, as a sane and rational human being, that would be pretty damn cut and dried as far as bills banning sales of 'violent' video games is concerned... Not so much when your profession is politics. Louisiana Rep. Roy Burrell, D-Shreveport, said that he's going to go ahead and put another, very similar bill through the grist mill.

Now unless I'm mistaken here, this is the Louisiana that has New Orleans in it. There could be some other Louisiana that I've not heard about that does not contain New Orleans, what was the state's largest port city. I'm just saying, at this point, maybe you all should be more concerned about what the hell is going on in there than making sure you get the terrified parent vote... because at some point, the terrified parent vote is going to be terrified about the drug dealers coming out of New Orleans who have no qualms about killing people and less terrified about their kids being sold Manhunt 2 for their family friendly Wii.
