Bayou Bougaloo crowds reveled and splashed in the waterway at the music festival a couple miles south as the fisherman dangled a magnet the size of a hockey puck from a red rope off the Bayou St. John bridge.

He pulled a gun barrel from the bridge's south side near its center, police said. He also retrieved a handgun on the bridge's northeast side, near the water's edge.

Then came a 15-pound dumbbell, tied to a shirt or cloth, which was padlocked around a human skull, police said. That skull was "fully decomposed, lacking a jaw or the top row of teeth," New Orleans police said. 

The NOPD did not immediately respond to questions regarding investigations of any decapitated crime victims.

On the whole, New York sounds like a better place to be magnet fishing than New Orleans.

He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
