So many comments to make. Guess I’ll settle with the last segment on homelessness. They show a homeless encampment that didn’t even exist 3 years ago—-and now 10,000 new illegals came in one day last week across the Southern border?
That’s wild...and scary.
A chocolate city....
When I saw “Murder Capital” I wondered which one?
There are so many that can claim that title now - Chicago, Washington DC, Baltimore, Detroit, Memphis, Philadelphia, Cleveland and more.
side story
went to a training session in SF there were two detectives from NO. Circa 1982. They told this story. During mardi gras there was a new best selling t-shirt.
Cops were chasing around a neighborhood one of those where the houses were a little elevated with crawl spaces underneath. A man crawls out wearing dark
clothes and something metal in his hand. Fitting the description of the one they were chasing. Cops say drop it, he doesn’t; they kill him. He was a plumber working under the house with a small piece of pipe in his hand.
The t-shirt? Don’t shoot, I’m a plumber.
Considering this is the murder capital, it must be a far right GOP Trump loving white supremacist stronghold. It sounds like they all are armed with assault rifles and completely ban persons of color.
What they need is forced diversity and gun control as well as a democrat government. And new blood, yes, I’d say a generous portion of new immigrants could also fix their problems. And their children need to be cared for with free sex, free tranny operations, an abortion clinic on every street corner and lots of free dope.
Put democrats in charge and all problems disappear over night. They need to follow Chicago’s lead.
(for those that haven’t figured it out, this is sarcasm)
bump for later
In my college years one of the jobs I did was on river towboats pushing barges. I ventured into the dives with some of the crew but only once. That was enough for me and I volunteered for night watch all the time. NO was only one of the roughest but they were all rough along the river.
Wow, that synopsis had to be written by a guy who flunked third grade and then dropped out of grade school shortly thereafter. That is the WORST bit of “English” writing I’ve seen in ages.
I presume that the video is of the same high quality.
Ahhh....New Orleans.
Years back sometime in the mid-80s, the Hyatt hotel there at the SuperDome used to run a weekend special for a “couples weekend getaway”. My wife and I, and sometimes friends of ours, would take advantage of it....maybe 2-3 times/year.
We would walk from the hotel down Poydras Street, cut across Barronne to Canal Street. Shop Canal, take in Jackson Square, the riverfront, etc. and sometimes even take a stroll down Burbonne Street. We did this many times over a few years.
However the last time (the fall of 1988), we were with two other couples. One of them was an East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s deputy...and still a good friend of mine to this day. We were heading back to the hotel across Baronne, in broad daylight, when some black kid came out of a side alley pointing a gun at us depending money.
My deputy friend somehow managed to snatch the gun from the kid without a shot being fired and physically held him until the N.O. city cops arrived. The kid turned out 15 years old and already had a rap sheet longer than Al Capone’s.
That was the LAST time any of us ever took advantage of the “Couples Weekend Getaway”. I wouldn’t set foot down there, even armed to the teeth, these days.
You need to hire a proof reader.
And we need to be sending Zelensky hundreds of billions of dollars more. We’re becoming 3rd world and sending our wealth everywhere else.
I would love to visit the WW 2 museum, but I’m too concerned about my personal safety, even though I have a concealed carry permit.
New Orleans does indeed have a horrible violent crime problem, but it’s not at the top of the list for murders per Capita - both St. Louis and Baltimore easily top NOLA’s 2023 numbers. I suspect that Jackson, Mississippi would beat New Orleans in that category, too - they just avoid the bad press by refusing to submit crime stats.
