Looks like New Orleans has finally gotten back to normal after Katrina. Wonder if the crime rate is dropping in Houston, Baton Rouge, and Jackson.
The murder rate in Houston is it’s lowest in history, (2011).
Crime in New Orleans is SO out of control, so pandemic, that if 20% of it were reported truthfully tourism would be dead overnite.( Not unlike some tourists). The lawyer in question bought into the ‘if you’re not involved in crime you are safe in New Orleans’ BS. He- like so many others- are LURED to the city for 24hr entertainment.The witless actually go to Canal St. at nite for ‘Broadway South’ at the Saenger theatre( which is right next door to the projects,btw). He should sue the city and TRASH it in the media, but he sounds more likely to recover and take the case of the perps if it gets him notoriety. ANOTHER man was beaten brutally downtown as well- the newspaper reported that he waited a long time for treatment because there were so many crime victims-gunshots,knifings-who were worse off than he was!!
The Quarter is prowled by gangs of black man knocking down and attacking like hyenas-in the middle of the street, on camera! It’s a white/wealthy/tourists center in a black hole that is the city. If businesses stay open past midnite, and trusting tourists are LURED into the hunting grounds, the Quarter will die with the tourists. If they DO close at midnite, tourism is dead and the criminals have won. Local government is sympathetic to the criminals in a 60% black city-they can’t crack down on their constituents. So it’s up to tourists to wise up. STAY OUT of New Orleans, tell your relatives and friends and co-workers to STAY OUT of New Orleans. Those morons who have moved her from other states for the ‘ambience’ are learning-fast- that they are prey as well. The much touted Marigny is a crime-ridden pest-hole with robberies and beatings every nite for those who WILL pretend they can make it an ‘arts’ district.
I don’t know why the lawyer wasn’t robbed-but that just tells you that the predators in the street attack and kill for the JOY of it. If he’s still a sympathetic, understanding liberal after this I have no pity for him.
