re: Huge Fight at Fred's...UPDATE: Arrest made

I’m certainly not victim blaming here but I’m genuinely confused on why a married man, with kids, would be at Fred’s? Or why a bachelor party, of all places, would pick fricking Fred’s?

Both of your questions were answered within this thread. The deceased married man was at Fred's because he was part of a bachelor party group that went to Fred's. The group went to Fred's after a baseball game at Alex Box, probably because Fred's is less than 5 minutes away and the closest non-restaurant bar to the stadium.

Bachelor party groups do things like play golf, go to a ball game, or go to a bar. None of that is unusual. If the group was doing an LSU-themed party, Fred's is the oldest "LSU bar" that's still around. It really shouldn't be an unexpected location. And it's really not strange for a married person to attend their friend's bachelor party.

Going to a ballgame and a bar right near the state's flagship university shouldn't be unsafe. And certainly not unsafe to the point of getting killed. The fact that this happened speaks volumes, though.
