If not at Karma it will just happen elsewhere. I do recall a shooting happening not to long ago at the pub on the strip and that place is still open for business. I understand the world would be complete chaos without rules and laws but shutting a bar down for the reasons listed above sounds pretty ridiculous considering this goes on in most bars in south Louisiana. This is clearly an issue of who does not like who around here! - anonymous Wed, 01 Sep 2010 12:09:54 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/6835-could-this-weekend-be-karmas-last#comment-10100 BFD you must be refering to Cowboys, Ricochet, and Daiquiris. Obviously you and the truth have need been to Karma in a while you dont see to many Toby's running around. The whole issue here is Thats the city is trying to shut a buiss down that has done nothing but good buiss. Your buddy next door hates the black people and has been stuffing his nose so far up Jim Crafts rear that he taste shit in every meal. Why is it wrong for the black people to have a place to go? Is downtown just for the white people? - Why is that....

Definition of a Toby: n) A term used throughout south Louisiana to refer a young, lower to lower-middle class white male who embodies a combination of wigger, white trash and "coonass" stereotypes. The overall toby aesthetic, however, is not limited to the aforementioned stereotypes, and often shows influences typically associated with guidos, mid-to-late 90's "preps" or jocks, and even suburban American ravers. (adj) exhibiting traits commonly associated with tobies typical elements of toby style include: - "fade" haircuts, often with heavily gelled and/or highlighted bangs - an affinity for color schemes involving yellow and baby blue - poorly-executed tattoos (usually tribal or just "ghetto") - high-top athletic shoes (usually Nike) - white baseball caps (worn backwards) - visors (less popular in recent years) - a "dirt lip" or "rat-stache" - puka shell necklaces - low-slung basketball shorts or baggy plaid board shorts - "wifebeater" undershirts - pierced ears (fake diamond studs or tiny hoops) - tongue and eyebrow piercings - cheap hip-hop-inspired jewelry "Check out that toby with 4 his tasha-ass girlfriend..." "Who? The one with the neck tattoo?" "No the one with the Fox racing t-shirt. His bangs look like little icicles." The day I lose a girl to a "meat head/Toby" in Karma I'll jump off a cliff... Check that the day I step foot in Karma I'll jump off a cliff. - BFD Tue, 31 Aug 2010 10:00:21 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/6835-could-this-weekend-be-karmas-last#comment-10059 Downtown, Since you are obviously an upstanding citizen could you please provide solutions to the problem before being so critical of another persons comment. I think the aroma of the starch on your bedazzled silverstar shirt is making you afflicted. Please go and dance with the other 99 dudes and 2 girls. - The Truth Tue, 31 Aug 2010 09:41:48 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/6835-could-this-weekend-be-karmas-last#comment-10043 BFD your and idiot...LOL, These forums are for the productive people of our city not morons like you that having nothing useful to say.... Best part is your prob one of those little guys that lost your girlfirend to a meat head.... - DOWNTOWN Mon, 30 Aug 2010 13:10:28 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/6835-could-this-weekend-be-karmas-last#comment-10032 Who cares? Tobe's with their ed hardy look alike shirts will find somewhere else to fist pump. - BFD Mon, 30 Aug 2010 11:51:26 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/6835-could-this-weekend-be-karmas-last#comment-10008 I second that, but it does not stop there soon all the citizens of Lafayette will finally see how far this agenda to shut Karma down extends. There is a group of leaders downtown that has joined together to shut down a group of gentleman that actually run a clean entertainment business that extends further than just Karma. These people know who they are and some are very close to the actual club. As a matter of fact If I'm correct this is his second go round pulling the buddy system with his best friend Craft to try and shut down Karma because he hates the clientel Karma provides entertainment too. I promise you soon he will be exposed for the under the table crook he is. If you don't know who I'm talking about just go watch one Saturday night you'll see him running paying customers off who have just as much rights as he does with his pepper spray and his flash light. The good will prevail and the crooks that are in power will be exposed. They tried with Mr. Cloutier and they lost, it's all about to come To the surface wait and see - Finally it's coming out Sat, 28 Aug 2010 21:05:03 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/6835-could-this-weekend-be-karmas-last#comment-10006 bottom line is that your Chief of Police has a personal issue with hip hop and the majority black crowd downtown. Would you rather them in the club or out on streets.. no one can determine when or where there will be a fight. So I guess everywhere black kids go now, they are going to be considered to be a nuisance... - the truth Sat, 28 Aug 2010 18:01:26 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/6835-could-this-weekend-be-karmas-last#comment-9974 "Godfather" I will try, but I will never be as good at it as you are now. - Downtown Lafayette Fri, 27 Aug 2010 12:42:21 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/6835-could-this-weekend-be-karmas-last#comment-9972 Hey Downtown Lafayette- Learn to lose. - D.

The club I work at now has more fights than Karma ever will and no one messes with us because we are not downtown and are not a "Hip Hop" club. Racism 2010!! Alive and Well! - Former Employee Thu, 26 Aug 2010 20:52:46 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/6835-could-this-weekend-be-karmas-last#comment-9950 "Office of Alcohol and Noise Control"-- They actually have an office for that, and a "director"? Does this not sound like some kind of distopian science fiction novel to anyone? - ragin_cajun Thu, 26 Aug 2010 20:44:11 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/6835-could-this-weekend-be-karmas-last#comment-9945 And you know this to be true by what facts? Oh, you don't have any. Trying to play the race card i see? - Southsider Thu, 26 Aug 2010 18:47:59 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/6835-could-this-weekend-be-karmas-last#comment-9942 Karma has a mostly black customer base? I thought they were more of a steroid junky hang out? I remeber the night they opened. I walked by the front door on the way to the Green Room. I asked the bouncer how it was in there and he replied, "it's about a hundred dudes trying to dance on two girls." - Rinkelstein Thu, 26 Aug 2010 15:55:55 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/6835-could-this-weekend-be-karmas-last#comment-9939 I am getting bad karma about this. - Odessa Goodwin Thu, 26 Aug 2010 15:46:35 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/6835-could-this-weekend-be-karmas-last#comment-9926 This is purely a reaction to Karma having a majority black customer base. Fights happen at every nightclub almost every night. This will end up in a Federal court and the city will have their little hind parts whipped...again. - Downtown Lafayette Thu, 26 Aug 2010 12:59:32 +0100
