At Mardi Gras 1989, in broad daylight, a gang of thugs started pawing at the private regions of the females in our company of 8. When I started at them I got a pistol in the face for my troubles (luckily he did not shoot me). We barely got out of their with our lives, because I had the audacity to stand up to them. When I told a cop he shrugged his shoulders. I have not set foot in that diverse city since that day, and would not do so again. That experience left a lasting impression on me.
I figure that the "core of evil" of NOLA has set themselves up as rulers of the city and are probably holding court in the convention center. Recommend that this cabal be broken up as soon as possible.
I would be disgusted also. I would expect better response from a cop. But then, the NO police force was once called the most corrupt police force in the U.S. So it is no surprise to me that a force that has cops who ignore a sexual assault would have cops who loot and back down from crooks.
