Bwhahaha you wouldn’t be saying this if it was the Saint Patrick’s Day Parade with people getting drunk, fighting, yelling, and punching people.
Please.
No industry? A lot of the intricate and elaborate costumes take months to make and theyre litterally in high demand.
I agree it’s probably not on the same level of the Trinindad carnival but it does take skill to make and I know the steel pan bands put in a lot of practice for the parade.
Yes they are celebrating their culture.
notice how we don't get the same racially charged comments during those holidays
I'm actually pleasantly surprised that this year's event went down calmly and peacefully. Yeah, I was one of those people that thought it was going to get ugly but I really hope it continues with this trend.

The parade was on heavy lockdown. Last thing Adams needed was things to pop off at the parade.
22 shot in city that weekend, but the parade was OK....no one collects the pool cause no one picked Zero. Money rolls over to next years pool. Stay tuned

LOL, but I'm glad no one was shot or killed at my favorite 3rd World parade.
Nope. In fact my whole career until the very end when it mattered most, I never liked overtime at all. 18 years of avoiding most of it only to suddenly get hundreds of pensionable hours dumped in my lap over 3 weeks. I hit the lottery and promptly retired early!
How is it possible to work an extra hundreds of hours over 3 weeks?

Well:
Step one is to allow roving bands of rioters and anarchists to take over the city for 3 weeks plus.
Step two is to have well-placed friends with access to over time assignments.
Step three is to decide that you are going to retire so nothing that happens over the next however long matters other than racking up OT.
Step four is to be someone who’s deployed to combat zones multiple times, hence developing the ability to stay awake for days on end without noticeable depreciation in functionality.
Step five is to turn in a huge stack of overtime slips at the same time as your retirement paperwork.
Really unfair to compare St Patrick day parade which is hundreds of years old vs the Carribean day Parade. Im sure lotsa folks got killed/raped/etct in the Patty's 1700s parades. This is just another case of the old immigrants sh*tting on the new immigrants, nothing to see here.
