“Kill or be killed.”
That’s what a spray-painted graffiti message reads on a metal wall a stone’s throw from the 1500 block of Government Street near downtown Baton Rouge. It’s a double testament — both to the scandalously dangerous character of that particular speck of earth along one of the city’s main thoroughfares and to the scandalously dangerous deficiency of the public schools in East Baton Rouge Parish.
The graffiti, which has been on that metal wall for close to 15 years without anyone bothering to paint over it, turned somewhat prophetic in the early-morning hours of Sept. 16. Because a stone’s throw away was the scene of one of the most stomach-turning, senseless murders in the history of a city hosting far, far too many of them.
Baton Rouge is a shooting gallery with one of the most hardened criminal classes of any in America — and a political class which has made its peace with that fact and only sluggishly bothers to fight off the contagion. Pandering to criminals gets more votes than stopping them in much of the city. You already know what results that brings.
Early in the morning of Friday, Sept. 16, following the 2 a.m. closing time of the bars in the Mid-City neighborhood along Government Street, 21-year-old Allison Rice, a senior at Louisiana State University majoring in marketing, was in her SUV making her way to the 1500 block. An eyewitness who attempted, and failed for two days, to contact the Baton Rouge Police Department describes what happened next:

Good point. Mobility is your friend. And that’s one reason I always leave a car length ahead of me when I stop at a red light. If I gotta suddenly evade, I’ll need that space.
However, a senior in college should know better than to venture out in Darktown Baton Rouge at 2:00 AM in the early morning. Not smart. This is a regular predictable occurrence in Darktown. It is not unusual. Bad things happen in Darktown 24 hours per day.
I told him we’ve been through major periods of upheaval in our history and what they generally signify is a change in political eras. The Civil War. The Great Depression.
I told him the worst has only begun. But we’ll get through it, and the America that comes out of the other side of this bizarre period we’re going through is more likely to be a revivalist America than an AOC-Bernie Sanders Woke Soviet America because “there are too many people like us who won’t have this kind of thing.”
He agreed, though he said he was still terrified.
And he should be. Of course he should. The Great Upheaval will bring us to that next era, which will either give us Woke Soviet America or Revivalist America
What say you all?
Bad things happen in Darktown 24 hours per day.
Like Pritcherd, Alabama. How have the Melanesians become so generally souless. Decades ago most negroes were not cold hearted, amoral, preditory beasts. The religion of politics kills the human soul.
Correct, Democrats are in charge.
Just remember:
White people moving out=white flight=racism
White people moving in=gentrification=racism
White people not seeing color=racism denialism=racism
White people seeing color=segregation=racism
White people engaging in culture=cultural appropriation=racism
White people not engaging in culture=exclusitivity=racism
Everyone knows the reason, but you’ll be called a racist if you say it.
Umm, just asking. What would the demographics of BR be?
Yep, and the mayor of Jackson, Mississippi (which has worse murder numbers than New Orleans or Baton Rouge, but doesn't report them for comparison) recently said something that confirms it: He blamed the city's various and serious problems on "white flight" *and* on the subsequent flight of middle-class blacks from the city.
It was astounding how fast Detroit crumbled after the 1967 upheaval. I was in college near there and the fall of the city from 1967 to 1972 was like a dystopian motion picture. It stunned me and more than Viet Nam seemed to be the transfigurative moment from the confident, highly motivated, positive , patriotic American culture that had emerged from WW2 to the dark, declinist, dysfunctional America we now see before us every day.
So sad. I was born there and went to LSU. Left there in the 70,s when it was still a nice place to live. Only go back now to visit family and friends. Most have moved away due to high threat level of feral young black gangs. It has become New Orleans north.
This is the “Curley Effect” in operation.
Dems take over and destroy the city to encourage whites to move out. Then the city (Detroit, for example) goes into a death spiral getting worse and worse but... constantly electing the criminal morons who loot and destroy the city even more.
Then they demand federal funds to bailout because ‘racism!’ is the problem and they’re just about to turn the corner and bring it back to the good old days.
Democrats = destroying plague of locusts that are a judgment of God on our nation.
Only way to really solve the problem is a limited nuclear exchange with Russia. Take out a dozen major Dem run cities and we’ll have a Republican president for the next fifty years.
You can rebuild after Hiroshima. But 50 years later, look at Detroit. Dems are a disease. Cut out the cancer to save the body.
I was coming back from a 30 leave (from Texas back to Homestead) and stopped off at a hotel in BR off of I-10.
I remember it because it was the last Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, and I can’t remember how/when I learned of this, but I heard that either the day of the Johnny Carson show, or the next day, that there was a shootout at a college football game there. I was so glad I made it out without getting shot :P
What the hell are you talking about? White People aid and abet the Democrats every election by voting for them. White People have playrd a major role in the election of every Democrat holding political Office. Those Democrats in political Office just did not fall in there from outer space. They were put there by the votes of oodles amd oodles of White People. White People enjoy getting their heads busted, robbed, raped, shot. If they did not enjoy it, they would put a stop to it. They would not vote for Democrats who advocate for the afore mentioned things.
Those white people, who vote Democrat live in gated communities and are immune to the consequences of what they vote for. They use Democrat values to keep down the other white people, who are raped and robbed by those around them.
As evidenced by Marth’s Vineyard, those white people are willing to allow 2 million white people to die in a day in the states that they foment illegl immigration.
However, those white people are more than willing to use the national guard to kill every illegal immigrant if those white people’s interests are threatened in the least.
Those white people vote Democrat to keep everybody else down.
You are right about that. The Democrats are for the little man. And are going to do everything in their power to keep him a little man. White union workers love Democrats. But Democrats do not love White union workers. But the White union workers are too stupid to know this.
Democrats are Demonically Possessed and they destroy everything they touch. It is just a matter of time.
I think we know why they murdered her...
cops think by using the word "random" they can fool us, as if some 12 yro was just out sighting in his new 22.....
they choose their victim....I'm sure they laughed about it....
perhaps promiscuity...perhaps they intermingle with first cousins and are not even aware....or maybe its the drug use....
oh listen to me...we all know its racism and globull warming that makes them so violent.
my niece wanted to go to Temple so my brother drove her up there and they looked around.....brother said no way.....
Eastern Oregon University in La Grande Oregon....send your kids there..or maybe the University of Providence in Great Falls.....
vote?....I don’t believe we’ve had a fair election for decades....
