I have lived in Shreveport/Bossier all 27 years of my life and I cannot count the number of times my parents or older family members have told me not to go swimming in the Red River. I am quite a good swimmer, but I have been told that the strong undercurrent is no match for even a strong swimmer like me. The Blame then falls upon plain old common sense.
My condolences to the family of the victims. I first saw this article on my job homepage and couldn't believe it happened in my own city.

In a river with no life jackets on and no swimming ability? The parents owed it to their children to jump in after them and drown, too.
