I understand the tourist love giving out money to the locals for local causes and sometimes get shot for fun.

$200 bucks, bicycle, and a rusted gun

damn, broad daylight near a major intersection too. That is scary.

I saw a biker open carrying years back and thought it was odd, but now I can understand. (no way to really conceal if in biker clothes)

Thank you Fox 8 for actually describing the attackers

One of the suspects searched his pockets and took $200. One of the suspects put a handgun to the victim’s head and pulled the trigger, but the weapon did not fire.

The three suspects then fled the scene.

The suspects are described as follows:

Suspect 1: Black male in his 30s, medium build, short hair wearing a white t-shirt and dark-colored pants
Suspect 2: Black male in his 20s, slim build, short hair, wearing white t-shirt and blue jeans
Suspect 3: Black male in his 20s, slim build, wearing a white t-shirt

Sounds like they're not just after money. They're looking to kill no matter what.

If I lived in Nola there is absolutely no way I don't conceal carry every day, everywhere I go.

Sounds like, when caught, they expect a shorter prison sentence since they proved the gun was unloaded.

Great description

Seriously, they knew it would be an issue with the Lafitte Greenway, and that it would start to become a target. It does go through some questionable neighborhoods. The hope I think was that it would raise the values of all the properties near it.

What do you expect. This happened in a really rough neighborhood. The cyclist should have known better.



The scene of the robbery happened less than two miles from the PT Beauregard statue and a 10 minute walk from the Jeff Davis statue.

It's really starting to make us consider moving elsewhere when my wife gets out of school. There's only so many times that I can say "well, that's a bad neighborhood, you shouldn't be hanging out there at night". It's fricking bullshite.
