It took less than a day for Endymion to change their mind about Mel Gibson's initiation to be co-Grand Marshal for the parade.

The actor was swiftly removed from the lineup after backlash and the Krewe says it received threats.

Members of the Jewish community say they're happy with the decision to rescind the actor's invite but are appalled the decision was made in the first place.
