Two suspects wanted for French Quarter beating Police released surveillance video of two suspects wanted in connection with the beating of a man in the 800 block of Conti Street. view full article The musician, Doug Potter, is now in an induced coma. WWLTV reported:

A well-known New Orleans musician is hospitalized and unconscious after being jumped in the French Quarter.

Doug Potter’s family and friends believe he may have been a target of the “knockout” game.

“Always here when we needed him. Really nice man,” said Chef Rick Tyler of Cafe Beignet.

Steamboat Willie and his New Orleans Jazz Band entertained music lovers Tuesday night inside the Bourbon Street courtyard venue. The cafe is also where fellow musician Potter plays three times a week.

On Monday night it was suppose to be business as usual.

“It’s a terrible tragedy. I was the one that let him out the gate last night. I left 10 minutes after he did, so it could have been any of us,” Tyler said.

“According to witnesses as well as video tape, two individuals just took it upon themselves to assault, and badly hurt him. He fell into the street,” said David Potter, the victim’s brother.

Since the brutal attack the 54-year-old bass player has undergone intensive brain surgery at University Hospital, where family and friends continue to pray for his recovery.

Friends confirm he’s now in an induced coma.

“Get these people off the street. I’ve had it. You live here all your life and you have to deal with something like that,” said David Potter.

As Potter remains in intensive care, loved ones are grappling to understand why the musician with such a “big heart” was the target of such a violent and senseless attack.

“two individuals”

That narrows down the list of possible perps, doesn’t it?

I went to the French Qtr. once. I found it to be of the lowest, dirtiest places in America. It really attracted a rabble.

I feel sorry for the otherwise good folks of New Orleans who have to deal with that low-grade tourist sh**hole in their city.

Why was he the target of a senseless attack? Because we have raised generations of feral black youth, who have been raised with no morals, no values, and no respect for human life. We have raised generations of feral black youth who think whites are the reason their lives are so miserable.

We have raised generations who have no fear of the punishment or consequences for actions such as these.

They never will understand until they recognise that this is not random, it's a hate crime being systemically ignored by the justice system. If the victim/ perpetrator roles were reversed, you can bet the pattern would be noticed. We'd be hearing all about how it's “open season” on blacks by whites.

Even at NOLA.com they don’t speak of the real description, but the photograph tells the tale.

The entitlement welfare system encourages this dysgenic breeding. I read on a Chicago cop blog, about how incest was rampant in the projects, because so many didn’t know who their fathers, and therefore who their siblings, were.

“I went to the French Qtr. once. I found it to be of the lowest, dirtiest places in America.”

I did too and came home with the worse stomach virus and fever of my life. I don't think I'll ever forget it...all the way home, sick as a dog, ended up in the emergency room. And I didn't drink a drop of liquor.

New Orleans was a city built by pirates, thieves, brigands and cut-throats.

It is one of the few American cities that has remained true to its founding principles.

I went once prior to Katrina and have them same opinion. It was dirty and had more street losers than tourists. will never go back and tell others to avoid at all costs.

“Get these people off the street. I’ve had it. You live here all your life and you have to deal with something like that,”

Wonder who has has voted for in the past? You reap what you sow. Just like we (as a country) are doing now.
