    1. No one died.
    2. It wasn't terror related.

    The biggest part of the story was that it was a parade for Mother's Day. Otherwise everyone would be pretty ho hum.

    Even if there was a particular target, it's pretty brazen to shoot into a crowd of bystanders. If it's not quite AQ, it's at least an Al Capone level. Maybe it shouldn't grip the nation like Boston did, but New Orleans should be especially interested in catching and punishing these guys, moreso than other more discreet street thugs.

    In California gang activity is punished under the STEP act, which stands for Street Terrorism Enforcement and Prevention.
