The "main attacker" in a brutal French Quarter robbery and beating has surrendered to New Orleans police, and officials urged three other suspects to do the same. Dejuan Paul, 21, a Kenner native who lives in New Orleans, turned himself in shortly after a Monday morning news conference (June 26) about the case, police said during an afternoon update outside of the Eighth District headquarters.
The Saturday night attack on two visitors from the Boston area involved four perpetrators and injured both victims, one critically, in the 200 block of Bienville Street. The victims were walking back to their hotel room when the attack occurred shortly before 9 p.m., Police Superintended Michael Harrison said. In surveillance video, one of the victims appears to get punched in the face and is left lying on the sidewalk as blood pools around him.

I was stationed in New Orleans for two years. Bourbon Street is reasonably safe, but if you wander off by a few blocks you are taking a risk.
It still doesn’t stop them though.
This can go in all sorts of directions . . . .
He be de juan!
There are few places in New Orleans where I am concerned for my safety, but that one area where the attack occurred has given me the creeps since I was a kid.
These sub-humans should be exterminated.
“These sub-humans should be exterminated.”
They will see a dozen or so rodeos at Angola.
And work the fields.
They’ll get off because ...
Years back, my wife and I would occasionally go there for a weekend getaway. Always enjoyed the Riverwalk, the aquarium, fine resturants, etc.
Now, we wouldn’t go there even armed to the teeth.
I used to go to a national convention that would meet every year in a different city. When it came to New Orleans, I said, not this year.
Granted I haven’t been there since 1979... things may have changed a bit.
I’d love to go back and visit, just not in the summertime.
It does seem rather odd, and I would have never guessed, but the two Unitarians from Boston were not packing their .357 S&W Magnum’s with them while visiting New Orleans.
