Awful part of town at any time of day or night .
So sad.
my guess is he ran into some ghetto riffraff off Canal street or something else...maybe he got spotted in a bar by an Obama voter...
that intersection is not much worse than any other in the Quarter...usually the closer to Rampart or the Rampart/Esplanade corner the worse
don't get me wrong, folks are killed all over the Quarter and Uptown and Marginy but there are much worse areas in the Quarter
weekend nights brings in black kids from the hood and the cops in New Orleans are now overwhelmingly black themselves and very corrupt and do nothing to stop them much...though the cops have been kind to myself and my family there our annual visits
it just sucks, because of political correctness and profiling hype we now all live around clear and present dangers that once were not tolerated...and we were all safer
hope they get them ...70 years ago they would have already been got and swinging from a bridge at Algiers Point for murdering a man in uniform.
