The hell hole that is chocolate city.
Just another reason it’s off my vacation list.
A few more years of this crap and the Mardi Gras parade will be run entirely by the indigeneous domestic terrorist crews (gangs).
The city only looks like chocolate, it’s really stirred up $h*t.
Who the heck would bring a one year old into that mess. Assuming of course they were not sitting on their porch.
Oh swell, my daughter and 30 of her college friends drove down from SC for Mardi Gras.
New Orleans is Darfur with sturdier buildings.....
I would never go to Murder Gras.
NOLA is a third world rathole.
That toilet needs to be flushed again.
third world country....
No comment
Fighting over a Zulu Coconut?
Sounds like NO is getting back to normal.
It’s time for the US to withdraw from New Orleans.
Figures. After seeing the “residents” actions during Katrina, I would never set foot in that ghetto.
Never been...I’ve been all over the world, most US cities and rural areas but never New Orleans......
Marti-Gras is on my bucket list......
I went to Mardi Gras with a bunch of my military buddies in 1996. We didn’t feel safe and we were a bunch of scrapping young guys.
Caught a pickpocket in the act of trying to remove my wallet. He was a young boy so I let him go.
We had fun but I wouldn’t take my wife there nor would I go back now.
It is a hole.
The Mardi Gras celebration encompasses many miles of people in various locations. Your daughter, hopefully, is miles away from the shooting. There is also a big celebration out in the suburbs where a lot of young people like to go. It is relatively safer there, and is more family oriented.
A friend’s e-mail:
Three and one-half years after Katrina there are still 17,000 former New Orleans parasites living in hotels and motels. They’ve been there for 42 months .. and just can’t seem to find a way to get out and get their own housing. Not only that, but there are still another 8,000 people living in temporary housing who can’t claw their way out as well. How would YOU define these people? Sterling citizens? Worthy Americans? No ... they’re human parasites. They are the people who made New Orleans the most welfare-dependent people in this country .. the people who brought New Orleans its sky-high crime rates ... and now Obama has given these people another 60-day extension in their hotels, motels and temporary housing.
Change you can believe in?
New Orleans was a great place to visit but Mardi Gras was hairy...
*New Orleans is Darfur with sturdier buildings.....*
Have you ever been there? Half the buildings looked less sturdy.
